Welcome! and thank you for taking the time to do this step for yourself. As a psychiatric provider, I am committed to working with you and your family on your journey to healing and discovering your best self throughout this process. I am a board certified Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), currently licensed in Washington State and Massachusetts. I have been working in the healthcare industry for over two decades, treating adults age 18+ with chronic severe anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma, personality disorders, substance abuse disorders, and co-occurring disorders.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Seattle, originally from Texas. My journey into therapy began when I was 16 and started attending counseling for my own struggles. What began as a path toward personal healing quickly turned into a deep curiosity about the therapeutic process itself — I became fascinated by how therapy worked and what it could mean to support others in their own growth. From that point on, I was all in. I studied psychology in every way I could, which eventually led me to move to Seattle in 2018 to pursue my undergraduate degree in the field.
Along the way, I developed a strong interest in how people grow and change across their lifespans — especially through the lens of attachment, family dynamics, and the neuroscience behind emotion and behavior. These early interests laid the foundation for my graduate studies in Marriage and Family Therapy, where I deepened my understanding of how relationships and systems shape who we are.
I'm Dr. Jason Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, starting as a counselor before advancing into psychiatry. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and weight-related mental health concerns, using a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, medications, nutrition, and hormone support. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel your best.
Great to meet you!As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that a healthy relationship with yourself is the foundation for a good life.

Prior to this role, I worked at an inpatient psychiatric facility and gained experience working as an advocacy counselor at a domestic violence/sexual assault nonprofit organization. Through these experiences, I learned to approach all my clients with care regardless of past experiences and personal values. My specialization includes working with people of color, addressing anxiety and depression, and navigating life changes.
