Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
A significant portion of my client base have experienced childhood and adult sexual abuse. Not infrequently the abuse may be by a family member or someone you know. Surviving the abuse is an important achievement. Being able to confront, process and successfully move forward in life is an important goal that takes sensitivity, trust and an experienced therapist. I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.
