My name is Johanna E Bridges, and I am a licensed professional counselor in NJ and a licensed clinical mental health counselor in NC. I have been providing counseling services for more than 20 years. I have worked in the schools, community mental health clinics, nonprofit agencies, foster care agencies and private practice. My clients have presented with a wide range of concerns to include but not limited to relationships, intimacy, parenting, anxiety, depression, loneliness and transitions of life.
My counseling style is open, warm and interactive. I believe in treating the whole person by examining all angles of a situation. My approach is eclectic, but I use cognitive behavioral, short term solution focused, humanistic and client centered.
Welcome to the first step in taking care of yourself by seeking help. How brave a decision at this time in your life! My role is to help you discover the answers to the questions you seek regarding your life and the optional paths that you may have available to you.
I look forward to traveling this journey with you!
