Meet Deshawn
DeShawn Johnson (he/him)
Licensed Professional Counselor
__
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from Palo Alto University, California. I specialize in supporting adults, adolescents, and families to navigate divorce, phase of life transitions, grief, substance use, and harm. When working with clients, I use an integrative approach using trauma-informed care, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, with an understanding of how systemic and institutional challenges impact people in their daily lives. My five short years of clinical work are brilliantly accompanied by my passion and experience as a high school running backs coach. When off the field and out of the office, you can find me with my family exploring Portland’s incredible outdoors and culinary scene!
