Hello! I am Angelina (most people know me as Angie) Johnson, a Licensed Master Social Worker. As a paramedic of 20 years, I have observed, firsthand, the field of first responders undergo drastic changes. I have seen the need for more emphasis on resilience, lessening the stigma surrounding mental health challenges, and not being afraid to ask for help. I am eager to help individuals find healthy coping mechanisms from the exposure and trauma that first responders endure on a daily basis. Having mental health professionals with “lived experience” who understand both life and career stressors is extremely beneficial for individuals looking for help in processing things in a safe and objective space.

I utilize a combination of strength-based, client-centered, and straightforward approaches to therapy. I find that at times, humor and sarcasm help to ease the tension, but I am also the type of clinician to be supportive and forthright in helping someone challenge themselves to improve the things they want to change. I am here to support first responders, their spouses/partners, and even their children, to tackle the unique problems that first responder families face.
