My work exposure in different settings and among multicultural populations has taught me that everyone has what I call a "life backpack," which interferes with their present life. This informs my person-centered, goal-driven therapeutic approach, as I believe each individual is the main actor in their own life situation. Read more

What is your go-to approach for PTSD/trauma therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is EMDR. I find the best benefit in using EMDR to address PTSD/trauma because it aids in desensitizing emotional triggers and reprocessing past traumatic events.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:

  • Exposure therapy: A common method used to help clients face their fears in a safe setting.
  • The “Window of Tolerance” (WoT) concept: A way to identify and discuss the current mental state of a client.
  • Cognitive processing therapy: A way to help clients recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other conditions related to trauma.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when their self-awareness has increased and social/emotional functioning and interpersonal relationships have improved.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement PTSD/trauma therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy through daily exercise, self-help books, and keeping a thought journal.

What should someone do to prepare for starting PTSD/trauma therapy?

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can write down their therapy goals and questions/concerns they may have for their therapist.

Been to see Tameka Johnson and can honestly say she is one great therapist! She really touches subjects that make a difference. My teen has been struggling with anxiety and depression for sometime now and I am so grateful that she was placed with Tameka's care cause after literally our 2nd visit I have already seen improvements in my daughter she’s starting to become more confident in herself and is improving our relationship which is a blessing I can’t wait to see the outcome when she is done with her I am so excited.
