Janell R. Johnson

MA, LMFT

I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University in Minneapolis and completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of Minnesota. Additionally, my educational background includes completing a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Nonfiction Writing and Literature from the University of Alaska Anchorage. I have always had a strong desire to help others, and I draw on both my personal and professional experiences when working with clients. I bring warmth, humor, compassion and openness to create a space for my clients to work on their own discovery and healing. My approach to therapy is centered around building a trusting relationship with my clients where it is safe to work on difficult and painful issues. My style is direct and honest.

More About Janell

I work extensively with clients to help them tell their story, examine limiting beliefs and understand how past experiences shape who we are. I also see clients struggling with sex addiction, often working with both the primary client as well as the partner impacted by the addiction. I have an eclectic approach to therapy that includes aspects of multiple therapeutic theories and psychoeducation. I also utilize many evidence based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). 


I see clients at our Maple Grove location either in office or virtually.
