Hey, I'm Dax Johnson, and I am currently accepting new clients. Every time you come in, you can expect to be greeted warmly with unconditional regard. I enjoy being easygoing with a desire to focus on connecting with you, encouraging you, and helping you. You want someone to help you figure out who you really are at your core, what you believe about yourself, others, and the world around you, and why you do the things you do. I aim to provide you with the best care I can based on the support from the collective decades of experience of my professors, supervisor, and my university's library of empirically researched materials.

In my 40 years of clinical experience I have enjoyed helping clients turn their conflictual interactions into empowering opportunities for growth and success. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals resolve concerns and meet their goals. You will see that my commitment to helping and healing shines through in the compassion and creativity I use to assist clients in establishing healthy coping skills, challenging limiting beliefs, increasing a sense of self-worth, and feeling empowered to make changes.

Life throws each of us curve balls we don't expect. I have supported clients managing substance abuse issues, immigration related assessment needs, as well as depression, anxiety, and stress. I have experience working with teens, adults, seniors, and individuals with developmental disabilities. I have found that therapy can benefit people in many circumstances. Each of us is familiar with the need to put in consistent work and effort when we are learning a new skill at work or getting into good physical shape--developing strong mental health skills requires the same effort. I am here to help along the way!

I know what it's like to struggle with the challenges of family, parenting, aging, grief, employment, marriage, life transitions, career loss, self fulfillment and purpose. Married for over 44 years, having owned a family business, I learned firsthand how to find purpose and peace in the midst of stress, depression, loss, anxiety and grief. I draw on personal experiences of raising children, marriage, owning a business, aging parents, loss of loved ones, major life transitions, depression, anxiety, addiction and stress. These life experiences give me a unique understanding and ability to help clients overcome similar challenges.

I am the clinical director for Center For Human Potential, located in downtown Salt Lake City. We focus on helping people achieve balance and fulfillment. We have many talented psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists able to help children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with a variety of difficulties. We provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families. We also prescribe psychiatric medication and offer psychological testing to screen for ADHD and learning disabilities. We accept most health insurance plans and offer a sliding fee scale, based on income level, for those without insurance.

Therapy is collaborative meaning I work alongside you to help you identify the strategies and skills needed to live your best life. Feeling overwhelmed? Thoughts of "I'm not good enough"? I help you find ways to tame and manage those thoughts and that feeling of overwhelm. I utilize a strengths based approach meaning I believe you have many of the answers already within yourself! Often you just need someone to encourage you, coach you, and give you the confidence to be your best self. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Sometimes we lose our way in life. We can become disconnected from our true sense of self, from our partners and our families. My goal as a counselor is to help individuals, couples and families rebuild important connections so that they may live happier, healthier and more abundant lives. I believe that we all have the innate capacity to become aware of old patterns that do not serve us and that we can learn about and create new ways of being in the world. I am an avid reader and enjoy hiking, biking, yoga and connecting to the outdoors as a way to replenish my energy. Lastly, I love spending time with my children and grandchildren

You can find confidence and clarity during life’s transitions. These transitions may include trauma, divorce, midlife, or an unhealthy relationship (with yourself or others). Often times, these transitions intensify compulsive behaviors like addiction, unhealthy relationships with food or your body, codependency, poor self-esteem or anxiety. You can heal and find peace!

For anyone who struggles to get free of what limits their life, to move past the disappointments, hurts, and fears of their past, I offer support and help. We will work together to find your own unique and powerful process for growth and healing.

I can help you create the magic of real and lasting change with the relationships and issues that mean the most to you. Whether you are struggling with your children, your marriage, or reaching your goals and dreams, I understand how difficult life can be sometimes. Let's work together to find realistic and proven solutions that will change your life!

Do you wonder if you will ever feel like enough? Do you struggle with oppressive perfectionism? Do you suffer from shame, fear and guilt? Do you feel like the life you want is always out of reach? Let's work together to establish a strong sense of self worth, process out traumatic experiences, and find greater hope and peace in your life. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, faith transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and body image issues.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” — Fred Rogers. I’ve studied people and learned about self-healing while working as a psych tech at Utah State Hospital along with other mental health roles. Did you know placebos work on medical conditions close to 33% and up to 60%? That means that your brain has enormous healing power. I like to learn about my clients' lives to discover their roadblocks and challenges, as well as their strengths and goals.

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.

Accepting new clients. When starting therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Each client brings their own unique experiences, values, and strengths to therapy. Therapists also have their own unique style of providing treatment or certain techniques they rely on. It is important to find a therapist that you “click” with. My approach tends to center on building a trusting therapeutic relationship between us that emphasizes the client as the expert of their lives. Research shows that strong therapeutic alliances can predict positive outcomes in therapy.
