About My Clients
Therapy Den's website suggests that the more you have in common with your therapist the better the therapy will be. The more you can decide the identity of your therapist the better the therapy will be. After 10 years of therapy I am confident that it is being different that provides the deepest support. Understanding, trust and safety build between two different people is the path to new ways of being in ones own life.
My Approach to Helping
My name is Erik Johnston, and I am a depth therapist. Being a depth therapist means I seek to explore your inner feelings, thoughts, sensations, and intuitions as a way of creating options and new ways of being in your outer life. I seek first to support and know you – as a unique individual or unique couple – so that your unique goals and hopes are brought to life - your unique life. In therapy with me you will be offered the opportunity to change yourself and your behavior towards health and growth. In some ways I do this like many therapists, through talk, body awareness, mindfulness: ultimately gaining a further understanding of the whole you. In other ways I am quite unique. People are often surprised at how flexible I am in my ability to work with both women’s and men’s issues – working with both the feminine and the masculine aspects of our nature.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have personal beliefs. They inform my perspectives on love, relationship and what is or is not sustainable ways of being. Some of the stories we live are not supporting our contentment, hopes or growth. My goal is to find importance of your beliefs, of your story and of how your values and beliefs serve you. When our internal world grows and changes so also will our outer world begin to change and grow. Much like a plants - of which there are many in my office! - growth requires similar elements and with attention on what is unique each life can grow according to it's needs.
