Heather Johnston

I am passionate about helping people discover the best versions of themselves. Whether that is working through trauma or finding yourself at a cross-roads in life. I have worked with a wide variety of people and mental health concerns, from the in-patient psychiatric hospital setting of Austin State Hospital to those of individuals in an out-patient setting. Prior to becoming a mental health counselor, I worked in the corporate world, including substantial time at an executive level and for two large law firms. The broad experience that I gain in my first career informs my counseling. I have worked with a wide range of people from many nationalities, cultures, ethnicities, religions, and life experience. Working in a high-pressure role, I can appreciate the various pressures faced by my clients, including professionally, in relationships and as a parent

Everyone's story is unique. I am passionate about making each person feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are, the way they are. My goal is to create a nurturing environment that promotes self-acceptance and personal growth. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life in an inclusive and supportive manner. I am a LGBTQIA+ ally. I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where clients can feel safe and supported. My practice is founded on the principles of empathy, respect, and non-judgment, and I am committed to maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards in all of my work.
