Nathaniel Johnston, LMHC
About me
"I am a licensed professional counselor based in Florida, with a comprehensive 12-year track record in the field. My expertise centers around empowering clients to acquire effective stress and anxiety management skills, identifying the underlying factors contributing to addictive behaviors, and implementing strategies for coping with trauma and abuse. Additionally, my experience extends to addressing issues such as depression, adjustment disorders, and relationship dysfunction. I have also had the privilege of working with high-school, college, and professional athletes, focusing on enhancing their performance and overall well-being.
My therapeutic approach is flexible and client-centered, with a commitment to short-term (3-5 days) or long-term support, depending on individual needs. I approach every client with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion, recognizing the unique and specific nature of their challenges. I firmly believe in tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to align with your personal requirements. Taking that initial step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires great courage, and I am here to provide unwavering support throughout this transformative process."
