William Johnson

William Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


Many of the people I work with are navigating life transitions, family stress, or the emotional weight of raising a child with additional learning or behavioral needs. Over 42 years as a social worker — including nearly 30 years in adoption and child protective services and 12 years as a school social worker supporting students with IEPs — I've worked with children, teens, and adults across a huge range of backgrounds and circumstances. I've also supervised clinicians and led diagnostic and therapy work at a DC community mental health agency, so I bring a depth of experience most providers are still building toward.
