Dr. Jake Johnson
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My name is Jake Johnson and I am the founder of Bristlecone Therapy. I've been practicing marriage and family therapy (MFT) for over 15 years. I also work as a professor of MFT at Wheaton College, where I have taught for over a decade. In more recent years I've become a certified life coach, and I am currently the president-elect of the International Family Therapy Association.
On a personal note, I've been married for 15 years. I have four boys, ages 13 to 6. I love to travel, hike in the mountains and read fiction. I have done a whole bunch of my own therapy, spiritual direction, and personal and group retreats (as I deeply believe that if I am not healthy, then I certainly can't help my clients to be).

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re going through big life changes, figuring out who you are, and finding your people. You’re ready to look inward, explore how your past is impacting the present, challenge your relational patterns, and connect with your identities and values. I take a collaborative and warm approach in helping you develop concrete strategies to manage stress and daily struggles, while supporting you in strengthening your connection with yourself and your community. You already have a lot of insight, strengths, and supports – and I’m here to help you bring those forth and integrate them into your day-to-day. You’re ready to go beyond tips to manage symptoms and look deeper to make lasting change.
I work with adolescents and adults managing depression, anxiety, life transitions, traumatic stress, healthy relationships, and identity exploration. I will hold your inner life as well as social, political, and cultural factors; bring authenticity and attention to your individual needs; and engage in depth-oriented approaches to help you increase insight into yourself.
I love working with a variety of mental health concerns, and am also passionate about working with activists, artists, helping professionals, adult/teen children of alcoholics, and individuals exploring identity issues related to gender, sexuality, and/or religion.
