CHRISTOPHER LUKE JoHNSON
Transpersonal Psychotherapist
NM CCMH0193091
Santa Fe, NM
Transpersonal psychotherapy, as I practice it, is a full-spectrum approach to psychotherapy. The solid foundation of my work is grounded clinical skill in working with what could be called the traditional aspects of psychotherapy - seeking to resolve psychological difficulty and dysfunction, and to stabilize health and well-being, both within oneself and in relationship with others.
What makes my work "transpersonal" is that I also actively seek to support the development of your unique human potential. This can include issues of value and meaning, authenticity and integrity with your deepest sense of self, creative expression, and what the world's many wisdom traditions might call the transcendent aspects or numinous dimensions of human experience.
Key Features of How I Approach this Work
Many of my clients have found this kind of multi-layered, depth-oriented approach to be what they needed to create lasting and meaningful change, sometimes after years - even a lifetime - of feeling stuck in old, difficult-to change patterns.
The Value of the Therapeutic Relationship
Most of our wounds and our problematic patterns have their origins in difficult and painful experiences in relationship. As such, they need to be healed in the context of a relationship that is conscious and caring.
In our therapeutic relationship, I provide compassionate mirroring that helps you to better know yourself, and offers you the opportunity to be known and understood in a way that many people do not experience in other parts of their lives.
The Therapy Experience
It is who you are, the issues you bring, and your own intention and willingness that really determine the nature of our work together.
Talking is the main activity in our sessions together, but depending on your needs and interests, we can integrate body-based/somatic work, modalities of creative expression, archetypal exploration, and energetic and spiritual techniques as additional resources.
I can also offer suggestions of things you can do between sessions to further integrate the work we're doing together.
Unique Areas of Experience
You are welcome to bring whatever concerns and interests you have to our sessions together. Some unique areas of experience and skill I have to offer include:
