Walking through one door can change the direction of your life.
Nate Johnson’s Approach
1
Collaborate On Goals
We begin our journey by focusing on you, your narrative, and the path you wish to explore. As your compassionate listener, I not only provide empathy but also employ therapeutic techniques to skillfully guide and support our shared experience.
2
Create Space.
Whether stepping through my front door or engaging in telehealth, you're embarking on a profoundly courageous journey. My goal is to facilitate transformative and healing moments—whether through guided meditations, breathing exercises, or the process of reimagining and reshaping your life story.
3
Celebrate The Wins.
Can’t wait for those moments to high-five, shout, and celebrate the progress you’ve made from that initial step through the door. Regardless of the step's size, remember, every movement has the power to bring about change.
"Your present circumstances doesn’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start."

My Specialties.
5th Graders Thru High School Students
I spent over 15 years counseling and curating experiences for Middle and High School students. Being able to affirm what they’re going through, struggles that this generation experiences and relevant connection is a perfect starting point in the therapeutic relationship
Men Counseling
The majority of men will take years before entering a therapeutic relationship and it usually comes when life has come too overwhelming. Talking about what’s going on inside is difficult for men to pull off and I know what that feels like. I’ve learned a ton from my own experience and new tools along the way. How can we figure out our anger? How can we communicate better? How can we find our confidence or look at the obstacles in our way?
Couples Counseling
Nothing is more complicated, frustrating, exhausting and rewarding than being in a committed loving relationship. My favorite therapeutic model, that has been researched as THE BEST model for successful therapy for couples is Emotionally Focused Therapy. Being in a romantic partner can bring the best out of each other, but also the worst too… love can do that. Let’s figure it out together to have more amazing days.
Problem Solving and Creating New Vision & Purpose
One of my favorite topics is figuring out complicated issues together. Answering questions like: What should I do? How do I tell them? What if I don’t make it? Should I go for option A or option B? There’s some great resources I use to help simplify a lot of topics or at least will lead us in the best direction. If you’re having trouble also figuring out where your life is headed and just don’t know where to point your feet (I’ve been there too), we can get great vision, purpose and meaning in your life in just a few sessions.
Faith & Religious Transition - Crisis - Abuse, Etc…
Diving into faith or religious conversations can be very difficult and finding a therapist that is comfortable to communicate in this can almost feel impossible. Going through a faith crisis can feel shake a person to their core. It can complicate family dynamics, a community to belong to and a person’s very own identity.

I was born and raised just outside Lexington, Ky… and yes… GO WILDCATS! My wife and I are High School sweethearts where our first date my mom drove us to ice cream and the movies.
