✨Counseling Intern Spotlight! ✨
Alysia Johnson is a counseling intern at the University of Alabama who is passionate about supporting individuals and couples as they navigate intimacy, relationships, and personal growth.
With a professional goal of becoming a s*x therapist, she is especially interested in helping clients explore s*xual wellness, relational dynamics, and deeper emotional connection. She strives to create a warm, safe, and judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, strengthening communication, and deepening connection within themselves and their relationships. Her clinical interests include relationship, marital, and premarital concerns, s*xual wellness, postpartum challenges, and anxiety or depression related to intimacy and s*xual concerns. Alysia believes therapy is a collaborative and empowering process rooted in self-discovery, mindfulness, and self-care.
Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Adlerian theory. Alysia tailors her approach to meet each client’s unique needs, using these frameworks to help clients explore their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns while building practical tools for growth and healing.
She understands that taking the first step into therapy can feel overwhelming and feels honored to walk alongside clients on their journey toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and connection.
Alysia is currently practicing under the supervision of Andrea Whitten, Ph.D., LPC S. She offers services through our community-based pricing model, allowing clients to choose a rate that best fits their financial situation.
Alysia will start seeing clients the week of May 26th!
