Ann Johnson, MA, ATR
Masters Level Clinician Supporting Individuals,
Family Art Therapy and Groups. Ages from 5 to adult.
I have over 30 years in the Mental Health field working with children, teenagers, adults and Seniors. I have training with the Expressive Therapies and my major focus is Art Therapy. Art Therapy improves cognition and sensorimotor functions, fosters self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivates emotional resiliency, promotes insight, enhances social skills, reduces and resolves conflicts and distress. I also have experience in other treatment approaches when Art Therapy is not a choice for you. My sessions are a Safe Place to talk to get unstuck so you can move forward in your life.
