Juniper Johnson (they/them)

I am a queer, non-binary practitioner based in the Twin Ports who aims to create a warm, secure, affirming therapeutic space. I am currently a Masters in Social Work intern in my clinical year at the College of Saint Scholastica (under the supervision of Alex Iantaffi, PhD, MS, SEP, CST, CST-S, LMFT and Rebecca Perrett, LICSW). 

My therapeutic work is grounded in disability justice, decolonization, anti-racism, feminism, harm reduction, and collective liberation. I am passionate about working with queer and trans folks, people with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities, individuals who are neurodivergent, and youth. I am learning how to help people apply somatic approaches to therapy, meaning acknowledging how our bodies hold stress and trauma, as well as our minds. I believe that we all hold the keys to our own healing and progress. I am privileged to be able to empower people to find good paths forward on their unique journeys of self-exploration and healing.
