About Carol Johnson

I am licensed in California with 27 years of professional work experience. I enjoy counseling all ages with a wide variety of issues. Working with couples and others who are struggling in their relationships or lacking in motivation, confidence or self-esteem are also areas that I enjoy. My special area of expertise is grief and loss. This, after spending 20 years directing a bereavement program following the death of my young husband. I am also an Art therapist that enriches my work with those who are interested.
Your own story has gifted you with many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

We have a lot of similarities and things in common, such as her background in education, her love for art, and her Christian background. I always look forward to my sessions with Carol, even though I've only had a few so far.”
