Ashley Johnson, LMFT

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping people learn how to build a healthier future. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors and thoughts.

 

I believe in using personal strengths and behavioral skills when helping clients reach their goals. I’m passionate about dialectical behavior therapy for people struggling with emotion regulation and Adlerian Theory. I work with individuals, families, and couples.

 

If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment with me, please send an appointment request.

Judy Malmskog, MSW, LICSW

Hi! 

I'm Judy and I have a multi-disciplined background to add to my role as a clinical therapist that has provided foundational knowledge in working with individuals and families who have experienced grief and trauma in their lifetime.

 

I enjoy working with individuals ages 5 to 105 from all walks of life. I hope to meet you soon!

 

My mantra is "I will not fix you, because you are not broken. I will walk by your side until you remember your light."

 

I would be delighted to walk with you on your journey. I offer an unconditional, warm and welcoming space, because I feel shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces.
