About Nathaniel Johnston

“I am a licensed professional counselor based in Florida, with a comprehensive 15-year track record in the field. My expertise centers around empowering clients to acquire effective stress and anxiety management skills, identifying the underlying factors contributing to addictive behaviors, and implementing strategies for coping with trauma and abuse. Additionally, my experience extends to addressing issues such as depression, adjustment disorders, and relationship dysfunction. I have also had the privilege of working with high-school, college, and professional athletes, focusing on enhancing their performance and overall well-being.

My therapeutic approach is flexible and client-centered, with a commitment to short-term (month) or long-term support, depending on individual needs. I approach every client with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion, recognizing the unique and specific nature of their challenges. I firmly believe in tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to align with your personal requirements. Taking that initial step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires great courage, and I am here to provide unwavering support throughout this transformative process.”

“The care and time to listen has been so amazing. I didn’t think after just a few sessions there would be an improvement in our communication but there has been and I am so grateful for this”

“Nathaniel is a wonderful therapist he helped me with in the first two session what drove me as a person and what i needed to work on the most.”

“Nate, can see through me. Even on a video call. I desperately needed someone who understood me and my problems and could pose solutions in a manner I could understand and adopt. He can tell when I'm giving half hearted responses and was able to delicately extract deeper and more profound input. He makes me think, even when I'm not in the mood. I've had so many epiphanies while reflecting on things we've talked about and in even mid conversation sometimes I'll have an "Aha!" moment. I feel like I'm making progress. <br /> -Thanks Nate”

“Nathaniel has been able to understand both sides and helps us get to a middle ground to build a happy and stronger relationship.”

“Very understanding and straightforward with methods to use in daily life in order to better participate in our marriage.”
