About me

I have been working as a Marriage and Family therapist since 2010. I was licensed in New Mexico for most of my career, but transferred to Washington state in 2016. I have worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and income levels. Relationship problems, intimacy issues, parenting problems, and conflict resolution are all part of my expertise. I understand how these problems are compounded by other mental health issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction, and personality disorders. Building healthy relationships is complex, but worth every ounce of effort that is placed into it.

I try to keep my sessions friendly and welcoming. I enjoy humor and feel that it is a healthy coping skill to be utilized. Every problem has a solution waiting to be found and my goal is to help clients find their own unique solutions to life's most complicated issues. My practice includes cognitive behavioral approaches as well as mindfulness and solution focused therapy. I treat individuals as unique cases and avoid lumping people into categories. Working as a team, we can find ways to navigate the sometimes complicated path to healing and create a solid and healthy relationship for you and your loved ones.

Therapy can be an intimidating process. My goal is to make it comfortable, helpful, and maybe even a little fun.

Understands every situation

Written on Feb 20, 2023 after therapy with Cindy for 2 years and 7 months on issues concerning relationship

Cindy is wonderful - she listens so well to us, remembers our whole story, and our most recent exchange quite well and does a great job poking us to stay on track and checks in often.

Cindy is a lovely person who has always been impartial but compassionate, hears us out, and has a sense of humor with us when the mood warrents it. Neither of us feel like "the favorite child". We both feel equally heard and validated and we both like her a lot.

Cindy really hears what we each have to say and relays it back to us in an actionable way. She’s to the point, but nice about it so we don’t feel like failures.

Cindy Johnson has provided the space for me to feel comfortable in sharing sensitive information. She provides on topic information. She has helped me with my lens that I see the world through. Thank you, Cindy, for being personable and culturing a safe space as I humble myself to become a healthier version of myself.

Cindy is genuinely the best therapist I have had in a long time. Super hospitable, personal, charismatic. She has been extremely helpful throughout all of my partner and I sessions, as well as individual sessions. I would recommended her 10/10 times.

Amazing!

Written on Oct 03, 2022 after therapy with Cindy for 11 months on issues concerning relationship

Cindy has helped me and my husband be able to communicate in ways we just couldn’t before. She has helped our marriage before it even started and continued to do so after. Cindy also helped our individual mental well being and we consider her a very large part of our success.

I just met Cindy. She’s working with my son and I. We really like her and accomplished a lot in the first session. I’m sure I can share much more after a few more sessions. Regardless, so far so good.

Cindy Johnson has helped not only the relationship after my partner cheated and lied, but she most importantly helped me cope and find myself in all of our sessions. She helped me see both sides of view as well as put some order to my very hurt discombobulated thoughts and feelings so I could progress forward.

Cindy was my second counselor and I am so very happy I took a leap of faith to change counselors. She has helped me deal with so much already and I feel so relieved just knowing I can talk to her. She is insightful, positive and responsive. I really needed all of these and she has far surpassed my expectations! Thank you so very much, Cindy!!!!

Written on Oct 01, 2019 after therapy with Cindy for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

Cindy has been a breath of fresh air when we most needed it as a couple. Her compassionate and clear communication and understanding has made us both feel heard and the way in which she bridges our lack of communication with each other has helped us trust and a deeper connection with each other. Her tools are useful and easy to understand and implement.

Cindy had done a great job remaining neutral with marriage counseling which is very appreciated.

Written on Apr 22, 2019 after therapy with Cindy for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

Cindy has a warm and gentle approach. She uses humor, in the right context, to help relay a point or idea that helps with the issues her clients are facing. I find that she is able to help me feel less alone and isolated in my ordeals and problems. It's easy when in depression to feel as if no one can share your pain, but Cindy has a way of shedding a humorous light on situations and offers helpful examination on the human condition.

Written on Feb 06, 2019 after therapy with Cindy for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Cindy has been very insightful, and offered workable solutions to problems addressed with her.
