Cher Johnson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.7 mi away • Aurora, CO


Many of the solutions we seek are already inside of us. They can be hard to find, but it is possible. Using talk therapy and emotional regulation skills, we’ll work together to identify goals and practices that fit with the life you’re eager to live. I will provide compassionate, steady support as you navigate anxiety, depression, family or relationship challenges, recovery from addiction, and the impacts of ADHD.

I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and always consider cultural and social context. I also collaborate with other therapists to offer educational and support groups several times a year. Using a combination of physical, emotional, and cognitive tools, we’ll work to improve daily functioning, strengthen coping skills, and increase the joy and ease in your life.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Regis University, and I work with adults across a variety of life stages and transitions.

The practice of self acceptance with detail to co-creating an honest therapeutic relationship, through accountably, mindfulness, compassion. A choice to self~disclose to cultivate an experience of honestly with the trust of truth. The choice to self~disclose has the potential for honesty and trust, with no hierarchy, and learning from one another. To honor & bare witness to choose a life of freedom through the awareness of non~judgment. An opportunity to connect through trauma, the release, & to let go of limited beliefs. A conversation about self-forgiveness with a mantra of: "We are lovable even when we make mistakes". 20+ years of teaching yoga, meditation, and somatic connection. LMFT (Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist), Y12SR (Yoga 12 Step Recovery), and Freedom Coach. Long-boarder, slack-liner, snowboarder, skier, stand-up paddler, single mom, care-taker, trauma survivor, pregnancy loss, divorce, addiction recovery, learning disabilities, victim of gun violence, menopause, and narcolepsy.
