Adam Johnson, MS, LSCSW, LMAC

Adam Johnson has been a resident of Manhattan, KS for the past 20 years. Adam is a husband and father of two sons. Adam spent much of his teenage years volunteering with Head Start and established a passion for serving others during this time. These hours of volunteering strengthened two of his core beliefs that now guide his practice:

1. Understanding and kindness are much more effective tools than judgement and criticism.
2. People are capable of great growth.

Adam graduated from both Kansas State University and Washburn University and received a master’s degree in social work in 2009. Adam established his career by practicing in community mental health for 16 years. Adam served in roles as a case manager, addictions counselor, mental health therapist, Battering Intervention Program director and program manager. During his time in community mental health is when Adam became grounded in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

The wisdom that we truly need comes from within; we often just need a forum to hear it from our own voice. Adam’s goal is to connect with a person’s intrinsic strengths, insight, and wisdom. He works to break down manufactured barriers that stop many people from reaching their potential and often create unnecessary pain along the way.
