Do you find yourself wondering why the same issues are cropping up in your relationships over and over?

Would you like help building skills around managing depression, anxiety, or shame?

Want to build new, healthier patterns in your life?

Do you need more joy and fulfillment in your world?

You're not alone!

Together we can work to create intentional growth in your life, by using supportive, evidence-based tools designed to help you discover and be your most authentic self.

Are you ready for a change?

I support a broad spectrum of clients to develop self-awareness and ease into acceptance in times of psychological, relational, and existential difficulty.

Specifically, my work is tailored to serve clients who are seeking:

  • An opportunity to better identify and understand their neurodivergent (ND) brains - both how they work, and how to work with them (with a particular focus on those with ADHD and/or Autism);

  • Support navigating the challenges inherent to operating as a ND person in a world designed for neurotypical (NT) people;

  • Support navigating the complex waters of open and non-monogamous/poly relationships;

  • A chance to learn about attachment styles, how past relationship patterns can move us into a place of being more securely attached and fulfilled in our partnerships; and

  • An inclusive, kink-aware/affirming, and body/sex-positive environment that is safe for growth.

Regardless of your identity or what you would like to accomplish through therapy, I will show up without judgment, and with  a commitment to authenticity and depth-oriented counseling, in a space for growth. 

My goal is for our work to support you in discovering a new perspective on life that creates room (and tools!) for lasting change.

Who I work with

I work through the lens of Restoration Therapy, which is a therapeutic model that efficiently identifies your identity and safety patterns, while empowering your emotional regulation and mindfulness for lasting change.

By understanding what is motivating these patterns, we can focus on creating intentional, healthier-for-YOU patterns that expand the realm of “possible” in your life. 

Techniques I use include:

  • Restoration Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems

  • Mindfulness

  • Somatic Experiencing

  • Art Therapy

About Me

Hi! I'm Emily Ross-Johnson, a Registered Professional Counselor Associate in both Washington and Oregon, and I'm excited to meet you! I’m supervised by Justin Little, LMFT and Courtney Watson, MA, LPC.

I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent clients, particularly those who are ADHD and Autistic, LGBTQ+, and/or navigating non-monogamous relationships.

I believe we are all capable, through introspection and curiosity, of fostering our own values and improving our relationship with others as well as ourselves. 

I offer a compassionate, encouraging, safe, and empowering space for you to learn and grow. 

In my former life, I have been an opera singer, an executive assistant, a whiskey sommelier, a bartender, and nothing brings me more joy than learning from and being connected to others. 

I look forward to walking beside you on your journey of building an intentional and fulfilling life!
