Jodi Johanson

Certified Canadian Counsellor | Youth & Trauma-Informed Therapist

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a Certified Canadian Counsellor with a background in education and a passion for supporting youth, young adults, and families through life’s most challenging moments. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that every client is the expert in their own life.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity challenges, or difficult family dynamics, I offer a safe and inclusive space to explore, heal, and grow.

Areas of Focus

Youth & Young Adults

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood struggles
  • Emotional regulation and impulsivity
  • Identity, self-worth, and personal growth
  • Peer pressure and social stress
  • LGBTQ+ affirming support

Family & Individual Therapy

  • Trauma and adverse childhood experiences
  • Parent-teen conflict and communication issues
  • Healing from emotionally complex family systems
My Approach

I use a person-centered, trauma-informed lens to meet clients where they are. Together, we work to uncover strengths, build healthy coping tools, and navigate change with intention and care.

Modalities I draw from include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Mindfulness-Based Interventions
  • Family Systems Theory

I’m culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and committed to creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered.
