Taylor Joy Johnson, MSW, LICSW

Hello! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist located in St. Paul, Minnesota. As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I am passionate about bearing witness to and walking alongside individuals, families, and young children in their pursuit of connection, repair, and healing. I work from a compassion-infused and trauma-informed approach that honors reflection, curiosity, and deep collaboration within the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a holding environment that is trusting, safe, and restorative to those experiencing a constellation of mental health challenges, stressors, traumas, and transitions.

​

I work with people across the lifespan but specialize in the treatment of perinatal and postpartum mood disorders and early childhood mental health, including parents and caregivers who are committed to cycle-breaking and re-parenting themselves more compassionately. 

 

I am trained in and draw from a host of culturally-responsive clinical interventions, including Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a play-based clinical intervention model for young kids ages 0-6, AIR Network, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches. I have over a decade of experience working with a diverse caseload in community and school-based mental health and outpatient programs, in the non-profit sector as well as private practice.  I am also a board-approved supervisor by the Minnesota Board of Social Work.

​

It would be an honor to partner with you in your journey of being human and becoming whole.
