What People Say

Doing therapy with Johnnie has been very helpful. He is empathetic, skilled, and can switch between different modalities. Working with Johnnie helped me to regulate my nervous system better, as well as to address some of the deep-seated issues that needed working through. I would highly recommend his therapy services, especially if you're looking for a mix of body-based approaches, such as EMDR and IFS.

Dear Johnnie, You were an exceptional help and got me out of my loop and to be frank have had a massive impact in my perceptions of everything moving forward. Your guidance and thought has been invaluable to me.

Johnnie's knowledge and how he articulates several techniques to adjust to each traumatic event, in order to achieve the intended results, is simply outstanding. I went from being a shadow of myself, numb and depressed, to being a completely new person, strong, confident and positive.

You've helped me so much honestly I can't imagine where n' what I'd be like without you. I've had your compassion care and support through this transition it's been priceless honestly. You pointed out to me that I had value when I had shut myself off from so much of myself, and had thought I had to get it from others … not any more, I'm spotting that pattern. I'm now a proud owner of my own self-worth most of the time. Thank you, you really had my back. I wish you well in whatever you choose to do in your life, you are amazing.

I referred a client to Johnnie who was struggling with issues around confidence, life direction and self-discipline. Johnnie did a fantastic job of building a deep therapeutic relationship of trust and respect which resulted in dramatic and important changes in this individual's life. He is clearly a talented and highly effective therapist."

It's no doubt one of the hardest phone calls I've had to make but as soon as I did I had a feeling the voice at the other end of the line might be able to help. Johnnie Taylor is a very gifted professional who was able to create for me an understanding of why I feel and react to situations in the way that I do. Johnnie can walk with you to those places that feel uncomfortable to talk about, especially to a stranger — he won't judge you or push, he'll just be there and support you all the way. Top man Johnnie — thanks doesn't even come close.

Dear Johnnie, It was an amazing year in therapy with you. You have a soft and gentle approach instead of forcing an interaction or experience, which made me feel comfortable and safe in every session. Considering I had bad experiences with therapy beforehand, doing therapy with you felt really refreshing. I feel like my life improved in general, and that was my end goal. Thank you for everything!

Dear Johnnie, I am writing to you because I did not say thank you for your help. You have a calm voice and a relaxed and friendly manner, which made you an easy person to talk to, working through problems. I hope you help many people in the future.

Dear Johnnie, Thank you for understanding, acceptance, kindness and help. This has meant I have been able to explore my life honestly with you. There has been laughter and challenge. Thank you for everything — I will miss you and wish you every happiness and contentment in your life. Warm wishes, P

Hi Johnnie, I truly appreciate your ability to create a safe space where we can talk constructively on my personal issues. Thank you for following my story with kindness and understanding. I deeply trust you and the process. One of the reasons I like working with you is your flexibility and your pluralistic approach.

I'm extremely grateful for the work you have done with my son. I think it has changed his life, and i don't say that lightly.

Alchemy. The keeper of my uncaged thoughts set free. The eaten secrets, swallowed hurts and tears. He holds my shy and whispered blasphemies. And gently eases heart strings taut with fear. No tragic tale, no gross abuse, and yet. The subtle scars of quiet misuse begin. To bleed their silent leeches of regret, Mimesis and Catharsis held therein. Unleash the birds of bitterness, unchain. An angst of butterflies, so past takes flight. To shriek illicits at the sun, their pain, The feared intent dispelled in searing light. An alchemist at work, as truths are told. Base shadows turn, arrayed in burnished gold.'

Dear Johnnie, I thought you would like a copy of the note [her estranged daughter] sent to me recently. If you ever doubt your abilities to help people just refer to the feelings expressed, and so joyfully received, none of which would have happened without our sessions together. Thank you.
