Meet PHA Wellness Therapist, Taylor Johnson! In this staff highlight, get to know Taylor—what motivates her, her practice, and what she loves most about being part of the PHA team.
Why did you become a therapist?
I became a therapist because I have engaged in my own re-parenting work and have seen how transformative it has been in my own ability to practice self-compassion as I raise children in this world. One of my great joys is helping people find that untapped hope and goodness inside them as they leave behind systems and patterns that don’t support their most abundant life.
If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be & why?
Hanoi, Vietnam. I am very close with an uncle who fled the war in the 70’s and it is my mission to see his homeland someday with him.
What do your clients love/appreciate about you?
I think reflectiveness is a strength and something I always hope to more deeply grow into: the ability to consider what is getting in the way of change in a holding environment of repair and respect.
What is one of the latest good books or podcasts you’ve read or listened to?
I recently read ‘Being Mortal’ by Atul Gawande that I loved as a primary caregiver of an aging parent…how to consider what makes for a meaningful life within the limitations of health and safety concerns.
What do you like best about working with PHA?
I love the flexibility of this job…getting to be in charge of my own schedule and create ideas of services that are needed in our community that our amazing Clinic Director supports and believes in.
