Tajuna “TJ” Johnson, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker | EMDR Certified Therapist

TJ is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-certified therapist specializing in trauma recovery and emotional healing. She works with adolescents and adults who feel stuck in anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, substance use recovery, or patterns rooted in unresolved past experiences.

Her clinical focus centers on helping clients process trauma at its core — not just manage symptoms. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), TJ helps individuals reprocess distressing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity or control over present-day functioning. EMDR is a highly researched, evidence-based treatment effective for trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and negative self-beliefs.

TJ began her career as an elementary school social worker in the public school system, supporting students with social-emotional and behavioral challenges. That experience shaped her deep understanding of how early experiences influence adult relationships, stress responses, and self-worth.

She works with clients experiencing:

  • Trauma and adverse childhood experiences

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Grief and loss

  • Stress and anger management

  • Substance and alcohol use recovery

  • Relationship challenges

Her therapeutic style is collaborative, grounded, and solution-oriented. TJ takes a multidimensional approach, considering biological, psychological, social, and spiritual influences in each client’s life. She provides a structured yet compassionate environment where clients can safely process difficult experiences and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

For those who request it, TJ also integrates Christian counseling from a biblically grounded framework while honoring each client’s individual values and belief system.

TJ believes the “he(ART)” of therapy is helping clients reconnect with their inner confidence and resilience. She is transparent, engaged, and committed to helping clients set clear goals — and reach them.

If you are ready to move beyond coping and begin true emotional processing, TJ provides the expertise and support to guide that work.
