What My Clients are Saying

Testimonials

My 8 year old daughter had been having some struggles with behaviors at school and dealing with her dad and my divorce. Also trying to adjust to two different homes and the whole co-parenting dynamic and figuring things out within our (new) family structure. Polly has been a great help to all of us! She has a way of getting to the heart of the matter and getting on your level, whether you are an adult or child. My daughter's behavior has greatly improved and she loves going to visit with Polly each week! I would highly recommend Polly as a therapist to anyone seeking some help navigating tough life issues!

I met Polly Johnson in 2910 I first spoke with her over the phone. When I explained my situation it was like she knew me and had never laid eyes on me. I saw her first before I let her meet my family. Polly took great pride in me she help me with some difficult times when I lost my son.. She give and showedme that love I was missing in the death of my son. She let me though it was very difficult , she did not minmize my pain, but that I could come through it with God help. Polly is very sprutiual and will never take the credit for what God aloud her to do to help other.. She is very sensitive to your ever need. Polly has been a very pleasant help to me and my family. I would recommend her to anyone who is having any kind of life crisis. Let me just say I have been through several therapist and I have jet to fine one who can and will make time for you anytime you need them .. Well Polly is that way. If you're looking for a therapist I would say to contact Polly Johnson she will address your need.

I absolutely love Polly. I feel like I got more out of one session with her than I ever have with any therapist before. She has this amazing down to earth feel and always makes me feel understand and validated.

Polly Johnson is a great therapist but not only is she good to talk to , she’s good at giving feedback. she is an amazing person and so sweet and joyful!! I’ve been going to her for about four years and I do not regret it , she turned my life around and made me look at life different

After adopting three kids in 2017, life became all about them. How could we best bond and help our kids through yet another significant transition in life, while providing support to encourage their healing. Almost immediately, I connect with Ms. Polly after researching child and play therapy, and she has been with us ever since. From the first visit, Ms. Polly worked to build a trusted relationship with each of my kids, giving them a safe place to share and process trauma and big emotions. She has been an integral part of their recovery and of our lives as parents. She cares yet remains objective, fostering progress not perfection. She is an amazing person and therapist, one that I would recommend to anyone!

Polly has been very instrumental in helping me navigate through some various difficult times in my recent years.

In combination with her professional knowledge, compassion, guidance, and fun-loving spirit, she has significantly helped me through the recovery of a toxic relationship, death of a parent and illness of my child. Although she has provided me with tools that continue to be a proven asset for me, I am always comfortable with going to see her when needed. ~ DS

Polly is an amazing therapist and person. I have been seeing her for over a year now and have made tremendous improvements. She is someone you can go to at any time of the day for any reason. Polly truly cares about all of her patients and forms a relationship with all of them. She educates her patients on mental health and coping strategies. She has truly become more than a therapist, she is a friend. - Lauren

Polly is the best!! I see her every few weeks and look forward to every session. She has been so helpful to my relationship and anxiety. I definitely recommend her, as she is so personal- able and understanding!

What an awesome experience we have had with Dr. Polly Johnson. When I was looking for a therapist for my granddaughter, my focus was someone I could trust, someone that my granddaughter trusted and someone that she could connect with. Dr. Polly was all that and more. She is very attentive and kind hearted. One thing that really impresses me is how concerned she is about Journees' progress weekly, she really cares. I have seen progress with my granddaughter on so many levels and she looks forward to seeing Dr. Polly every week. We made a great choice!!!
