Meet Kathleen “Kathy” Johnson, MA, LPCC

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Minnesota, a Life Coach, and a Cross-Cultural Consultant. You can learn more about my skills, training, and the services I provide on this page. You are also welcomed to schedule a consultation to discuss my coaching, consulting, and counseling services at Tarriance in further detail. 

Coaching Services

I have taken my Coach training through the International Coach Federation and on the road to certification.  I find it extremely rewarding to walk with clients as they work toward living in their full potential and reaching their goals.

Cross-Cultural Consulting Services

I have personal experience living overseas as a Christian missionary as well as ongoing professional experience working with people who live overseas in a variety of contexts, including teaching, missions, and business. It was my own first-hand experience with the challenges of living overseas that spurred me on to include cross-cultural consulting as an identified specialty within my practice. I consider it an honor to walk with others through similar challenges.

Counseling Services

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I am passionate about helping people find healing and move toward experiencing a full and free life. It takes a lot of courage to seek out help in getting past emotional distress. As such, one of my primary goals as a therapist is to hold a safe space for my clients, characterized by compassion and support. I am interested in helping people overcome depression, anxiety, trauma (be it recent or rooted in childhood), and sorting out spiritual questions and relationship issues.

I am a values-driven person, and I feel most alive and most at peace with myself when I am living within my core values. I deeply value relationships. People have told me that they feel comfortable to be themselves around me, and I cherish that feedback as it tells me that I am living within that core value of relationships. 

I also value beauty — true, exquisite beauty both in nature, and also, the beauty that speaks to me of the artistry and wisdom that is inherent in every human being. I have a gift for seeing others in their true beauty, calling it forth in them, and helping them see and believe in their value as a person. A guiding question that drives my work is this:  “If you truly knew who you are; if you knew deeply that you are a person of worth and value; how would that change your experience of yourself, others, and the world?” It is my own spiritual faith that drives my belief in the worth, value, and beauty of every human being.  While holding to a Christian faith personally, I enjoy working with people who come from a variety of spiritual traditions as well as those who do not claim any faith.
