BETH A. JOHNSON
Clinical Psychologist
Clinic Director
 Practice Philosophy
Dr. Johnson is the founder and director of Lakefront Wellness Center, S.C. It is her commitment to employ professionals who are passionate and invested in their mental health care giving. A prominent treatment philosophy she holds is that of holistic treatment. Simply put, holistic treatment means that optimal care is delivered to an individual when mental health professionals are prepared to integrate and understand all relevant aspects of a person's functioning (i.e., body, mind, spirit, emotions, relationships, and behavior).
When asked how she helps people change, Dr. Johnson, stated:
"To be an effective agent of change, I believe I must build a trusting alliance in which the individual feels accepted unconditionally by his or her therapist. This acceptance provides the client with the safety needed to team with his or her therapist to explore change. Good therapy requires a balance of humor, empathy, support, confrontation, and hard work. Good therapists provide treatment that is uniquely fitted to the person and they fight hard to provide hope to their clients."
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Johnson enjoys working with children and adults and provides individual, couples, family, and group therapy. Areas of expertise include most psychiatric conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders, family and marital problems. She enjoys public speaking and teaching about mental illness, such as depression, and providing information to the public that helps them overcome the stigma associated with mental illness. She believes that a person's religious faith is a powerful tool in helping people experience mental and emotional health.
