Brittany Johnston, art therapist at Brooklyn North

Hi, I’m Brittany Johnston.

I ran my own practice for years before Brooklyn North, and I’m passionate about bringing my expertise to Brooklyn North’s clients. I’m trained in EMDR, and I work with trauma and life transitions. My approach is somatic, collaborative, warm - and led by you.


My Approach

I'm less structured and more flow-focused: we follow what surfaces and stay with it, at the pace you set. EMDR is part of the toolkit, alongside expressive arts, psychodynamic work, and body-based interventions. If anxiety or depression shows up inside a transition, we make room for it. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've basically done it.

Led By You

Less structure, more following what your body is telling us. You set the pace; I stay with you in it.

Built To Last

Steady, trauma-focused work that helps you find footing — not just through the crisis, but before & after it.
