About us

Beachside Mental Health Counseling, PLLC is under the supervision of Dr. Kimberly Johnson, LMHC-D. With more than thirty years of clinical experience, Dr. Johnson brings a broad and deeply informed perspective to the practice of mental wellness. Her career has spanned diverse community, academic, crisis-response, and private settings, shaping a steady and discerning whole-person approach that respects the complexity of life.

Clinicians practicing within Beachside work under Dr. Johnson’s guidance and share her commitment to integrative, person-centered care. Each therapist brings their own training and orientation, while the practice maintains a consistent focus on collaboration, clinical rigor, and respect for individual experience.

Across the practice, we recognize that people are shaped by many influences and that effective therapy must reflect that complexity; no single approach fits everyone. Our work reflects this understanding, through flexibility and integration, while maintaining a trauma-informed and collaborative stance that keeps you at the center of the therapeutic relationship.

Mental Wellness

We understand mental wellness as something that extends across the many dimensions of a person’s life. Emotional, relational, cognitive, and environmental factors do not exist in isolation, and our work reflects that interconnectedness. Sessions are designed around your individual needs, creating a supportive space for reflection, healing, and growth. We focus on strengthening resilience, deepening self-understanding, and promoting sustained wellbeing that supports lasting, positive change.

Mental Health

We work with individuals and couples across the life span, navigating concerns such as:

Anxiety and chronic stress
Depression and mood concerns
Trauma and post-traumatic stress
Moral injury
Intrusive or persistent mental health symptoms
Grief and loss
Life and career transitions
Relationship challenges
Identity development
Self-esteem and confidence
Compassion fatigue, burnout, and workplace stress
Broader concerns related to functioning and quality of life

Best Self

As mental wellness is strengthened and mental health concerns are addressed, space opens to more fully explore your “best self.”

Through individual and group therapy, we support you in building resilience, strengthening insight, and clarifying the direction you want your life to take. At Beachside, your best self is not defined for you; it is defined by you. As progress is made and capacity expands, the focus shifts toward living in greater alignment with your identity, values, priorities, and goals. We work collaboratively to help you move toward the version of yourself you are working to embody.
