I believe that joining together to build trust is the basis for our work together. The approach I use for working with relationships is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), building on the idea of security and trust in relationships as the foundation for connection, communication, and collaboration. For individuals, I lean on much of the same basic concepts, and I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which builds on acceptance, present-moment awareness, a solid sense of self, flexibility, values, and intentional action. For working with trauma, I use Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Emotion-Focused Trauma Therapy (EFTT). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1605574903935-HYDOY2U1JQ9GXBF1JRJ4/image-asset.jpeg About - Growing in relationship I believe we are all figuring out how to be in relationship with ourselves and each other, and inviting another person in who is dedicated to helping you understand your patterns and shaping new ones can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/afa1efb5-847a-416a-aeda-05ad6c88b1be/IMG_0886.jpg About Brandon's Counseling Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/350a5c00-a67f-4216-8e9d-77330790a869/IMG_0889.jpg About Waiting Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/23cf6781-ea50-48c9-bf83-1f75ef218a2e/IMG_0890.jpg About Brandon's Counseling Entrance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/7f423fb9-675d-4890-8602-11c1b58a89dd/IMG_0891.jpg About Brandon's Office Building https://www.bjohnsoncounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://www.bjohnsoncounseling.com/my-approach daily 0.75 2024-12-10 https://www.bjohnsoncounseling.com/who-i-am daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1609193682929-LSPKDCXOXNLCTF6C4G85/IMG_0112.JPG Who I Am - Brandon Johnson, MA He/Him/His Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist OR #T2389 Licensed Mental Health Counselor WA #LH61514431 I believe my role is to be with you, meeting you wherever you are. While I can use how I understand my own story to help me understand your story, your story is your own, and I’m not the one who defines what that means for you. I’m here to guide the process and the space for you to show up. I believe humans are wired for connection and that building connections between all the different parts of ourselves and between us and the others in our lives is how to build wholeness, resilience, and meaning. I believe each person has a unique set of circumstances that shapes who they are and what life is like for them. I believe naming both what is shared as part of being human and what is distinct between us and our experiences is essential to help fit the pieces together and be able to connect as one person to another. I believe naming differences like race, culture, gender, religion, sexuality, age, ability, education, or any other parts of who we are and what shapes our experiences is an important part of being able to connect with honesty and compassion. I also believe living with compassion means more than simply speaking kind words and includes actively opposing forces like racism, hatred, and injustice in the world around me and in my own habitual ways of thinking and responding. I believe being whole requires knowing my values and committing to act in line with those values. One of my values is respecting differences in perspective and seeking to approach new and different ideas with curiosity and other people with hospitality, respect, and honor. https://www.bjohnsoncounseling.com/services daily 0.75 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1609177809400-FD80Z8EETIBNPQOK7FQR/image-asset.jpeg Services hand-drawn simplified needles in back acupuncture icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1608585229328-J50Y9CWKL45JBCQTUWH8/image-asset.jpeg Services hand-drawn armchair icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1607992882682-T95WHGMTA0OOBSONEPP1/image-asset.jpeg Services hand-drawn empty pill bottle icon https://www.bjohnsoncounseling.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa47f156aee8718c02cd1a8/1605556478416-Q46MYU3FQW42SPBRUI4R/Mt+Hood+by+Zach+Dischner Home - Mt.
