Hi there! Choosing a therapist can be so difficult and it’s important to find someone who you feel seen and heard by. We may be a good fit if you are queer, neurodiverse, have a complicated relationship with family, or feel like you don’t quite fit in anywhere. I hope to support my clients with finding meaning, fulfillment, and purpose in their lives whether that be healing past wounds, making sense of ones’ identity, or navigating life transitions. You also don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for or need, that can be a valuable part of the process too.

Collaboration, non-judgement, and safety are core principles in my work. The work I do with clients is trauma-informed, highly relational, and leaves space for the nuances of diverse experience and existentialism. I integrate a variety of approaches, and ultimately, I want you to feel truly seen and heard in our work together.

It may be helpful to know that I am queer and neurodiverse, and these lenses inform my practice. I work with individuals, couples, poly and other non-traditional relationships. I am also interested in working with parent and adult child relationships. If what you’ve read has resonated and you wish to work together or have further questions please reach out!

I work with people ages 15 and older on a myriad of topics. I am especially interested in working with interracial relationships, first/second generation immigrants, queer folx, BIPOCs, men, and sex workers. Areas of specialities include mindfulness, BDSM, gender, ethical non-monogamy, social justice, anxiety, depression, sex therapy, neurodiversity, and trauma.

I provide therapy that is grounded in social justice, queer and feminist theories, and cultural humility. My approach to therapy uses a blend of narrative, attachment-based, and body-focused techniques. In working with intimate relationships, I additionally draw from Emotion Focused and Gottman Method therapies. To put it simply, this means I place you at the center of your own story. I incorporate mind-body connection, emotional experiences, and relationships of all kinds into the therapy space. I truly believe that you deserve to live your best life, and I am here to offer whatever help I may toward that end. I completed my M.S. in marriage and family therapy with a focus on sex therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

As a child of immigrant parents, I have lived my life in multiple cultures, giving me a unique perspective to the ways in which race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class may impact someone’s experiences. Due to my own upbringing and education, I work to include these same aspects of life into the therapy room. I don’t presume to know exactly what my clients have been through, but I do know what it is like to navigate the world in a body that has judgments thrust upon it. I want to use that knowledge to validate my clients’ identities and offer support or, possibly, new understandings of the ways these experiences influence the rest of their lives. Though social justice and anti-racism work inform much of my practice, my values rest on centering and working with all forms of marginalization (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, etc.).

I believe that a wellness model truly supports the whole person: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self in each of us. This informs my work with individuals, couples, and groups by making psychotherapy an exciting journey in which, together, we find how their unique abilities and strengths can be applied to challenging life situations, relationships, and the unfolding of new ways of being. My experience allows me to serve clients in crisis and those suffering from traumas, address a variety of symptoms such as anxiety and depression, work with unique populations such as sexually and gender-diverse people, and facilitate deep personal growth and identity development in others. I work cognitively, symbolically, and somatically, and maintain a practice rooted in interpersonal feminism and mindful compassion. Two decades of studying eco-psychology and world religions gives me an appreciation of diversity and the sacred while allowing me to join my clients as a companion on their unique personal journeys. My approach to relationships is based in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) and I am dedicated to serving the polyamorous and multiply partnered communities in San Francisco.

Being queer in today’s world can be TOUGH. You may be struggling to find a support system or your place in the community. You may be struggling to figure out your relationships- maybe you are overwhelmed at the thought of finding a partner, maintaining your relationship(s), or managing conflicting sex drives. Or maybe you need an outlet to talk about how much the world can suck and process what that means for you. I tend to incorporate mindfulness, coping skills, storytelling, and trauma-work. I come in with an open mind, ready to listen, validate, and challenge where necessary. Therapy isn’t easy. If it was, everyone would do it. There will be challenges and laughter, I’ll be here with you every step of the way.

Dr. Alan Johnson is a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas. He earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Michigan State University in 2009 and his master’s and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011 and 2014, respectively. He has received training and been employed in a variety of clinical settings, which have included residential treatment centers (RTCs), intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), university counseling centers, private practices, and nursing homes. His primary specialties include gender, sexual, and romantic minorities (GSRM), addiction and recovery, concerns related to eating, weight, and size (CREWS), and psychological evaluations.

Through an integrative approach utilizing humanistic-existential, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic theories as well as other therapeutic techniques, Dr. Johnson’s goal is to create a safe and accepting environment that allows clients to achieve their goals based upon the foundations of embracing diversity, promoting change, and fostering authenticity. Through research, presentations, and involvement with nonprofit organizations, he is committed to reducing stigma associated with mental health, identifying as a gender, sexual, and/or romantic minority, and HIV/AIDS.

Four Stones Collaborative Group is a fee-for-service practice. This means that clients pay the full fee for services rendered at the time the services are provided. You may pay with cash, credit card, check, or flex spending/prepaid medical cards. At the time of service and at your request, Four Stones can provide you with a billing statement that you may use to file a claim with your insurance company. Most clients do receive some reimbursement for services depending upon the type of insurance coverage they have. Most insurance companies will also allow services rendered to count toward clients’ deductible costs.

I see clients in-person in Philadelphia and virtually within the state of Pennsylvania. I work with adolescents 14+ and adults of all ages and backgrounds. I am particularly interested in supporting folks in navigating their relationships with their bodies and sexualities during times of change, loss, and transition. As a queer, non-binary therapist, I enjoy working with clients of all genders, on all journeys. I am poly-friendly, kink-friendly, fat positive, and sex worker positive. I love working with couples, close friends, and non-traditional relationships. I also enjoy working with fellow artists.

I bring a warm, permission-giving, and playful energy to the therapy space. My approach is relational and attachment-based. I specialize in gender and sexuality, relationship issues, sexual challenges, and grief and loss. I practice with an intersectional lens and seek to understand my clients within the context of their identities and histories.

I currently do not take insurance, though I’m happy to provide a superbill for clients with out-of-network benefits seeking reimbursement. I provide therapy in English.

As a systemic therapist, I believe that people are connected to each other through a system of intertwining relationships. My role is to support you in building positive, secure relationships that will improve your well-being and interpersonal experiences. I work collaboratively with adult clients and their partners to address issues related to open relationships and non-monogamy, marital and premarital concerns, sexual dysfunctions and sexual issues related to trauma, illness and disability. I served as the President of the Oregon Counseling Association (ORCA) for the 2019-2020 term. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). Please consult my website for more details about my practice!

My practice focuses on working with tech folks, as well as members of often marginalized communities such as queer, polyamorous, or other spiritualities. I also have experience working with veterans and soldiers. I focus as a therapist on positive growth and change to help clients live their best lives. I understand that some people are looking to enhance their quality of life, become happier, or otherwise grow and change in new directions. Others struggle with difficulties, either at home, at work, or with friends and family. I’m not interested in pathologizing people, treating them as broken or sick.

I believe we have a natural urge towards wholeness and growth, even at our lowest points or when we’re the most troubled. I want to work with you to help find this inherent wholeness and foster it. This involves talking and processing in a shared space where people can feel deeply heard and understood with a profound sense of caring.

I focus on techniques and methods that draw from many practices in therapy. I use secular mindfulness practices and have trained as a mindfulness instructor. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and attachment repair, and within the growing psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) movement for integration and support.

I am a bilingual clinical sexologist and psychotherapist, practicing in English/Spanish. In my practice I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and offer individual, family and couples therapy. I specialize in sexual health and well being and am passionate about the power of connection between mind, body and spirit. I work with individuals and couples on understanding themselves as sexual beings, whether this relates to their individual journey or within their relationships. I do this through helping you explore your sexual identity, expression and behaviors, as they relate to your goals. I value being present in the moment, having self-compassion and acceptance for oneself before working on relationships with others. I practice through a holistic lens and a mindful perspective, teaching clients some of the same techniques that I myself practice regularly to cope with the complex challenges life often brings. In my clinical practice, I hold the belief that my client is the expert of their own life and I am here to help you identify your own personal goals and support you on your journey to achieve them. Common issues I work with include: Pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, painful intercourse, orgasm concerns, performance issues, loss of interest/libido, premarital/marital couples counseling, sexual behavior experienced as problematic/compulsive, sexual trauma, body image, and the interplay of religion/spirituality and sex. Additionally, I specialize in anxiety, stress management, parent/child issues, and PTSD within multicultural communities.

I am a sex positive non-judgmental, kink affirmative, poly friendly counselor. I have worked with many polyamorous clients individually and in relationship groups. One of my specialties is the treatment of sexual abuse or trauma. I am also trained in the treatment of male and female sexual issues as well as discrepant desire in relationships. I help relationship groups with emotion regulation and communication skills. I am trained in The Gottman Method, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Typically for couples or relationship groups I will want to meet with everyone for the first session then each individual person in the relationship group (charged at the individual fee) and then bring all parties back together. In many cases one individual in the relationship group has sexual trauma or other sexual issues that may need individual treatment while the relationship group is simultaneously working on relationship issues. As mentioned above any individual treatment session would be charged the individual rate. I would love to work with you whether you are considering opening your relationship or you are established in polyamory.
