Priscilla Johnson, MA Sex: Female; Registered Intern # IMF53439 (Since 2007) Holistic Therapy Center, 6536 Telegraph Ave. # C-103, Oakland 94609 (510) 427-5401 Fee scale: $70 - $85 Supervisor: Mary Owen, MFT14190 DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE I offer in-depth psychotherapy for individuals, adolescents, and couples of all diverse backgrounds. Perspectives such as transpersonal, somatic, psychodynamic, relational and existential psychotherapy inform and inspire what unfolds. My interest is in working with clients who are struggling to work through barriers that keep them from their full potential. My intention is to be both a compassionate witness and a strong ally - one who deeply respects the client's survival strategies, and advocates for his or her full aliveness. My experience includes working with trauma, depression, life transitions, various anxiety reactions, death and dying, and existential issues. It is my wish to create a compassionate and genuine environment where the client can have more contact with his or her authentic presence while letting various concerns arise. In this space, what deeply helps guide the work is a warm, relational, and non-judgmental approach. VIPASSANA/MEDITATION BACKGROUND I have had a daily sitting practice for 12 years, and practice on retreats annually. Vipassana has been the backbone of the practice. For the past 8 years, I have focused more intently on the spiritual practice of relationship and daily living through Tibetan practices and being a student of the Diamond Approach. RELEVANT CLINICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE MFT in Transpersonal Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. Trauma training with Babette Rothschild, and with various other somatically-oriented teachers. |
