About The Coach

Education and Training

Jason Johnson graduated from William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ in 2002, where he earned a B.A. degree in Psychology with a minor in Fine Arts.  Upon graduation, he worked for a therapeutic pre-school with children ages 3-6 diagnosed with A.D.H.D. Oppositional Defiance, Aspberger’s Disorder, Separation Anxiety, and severe emotional/ behavioral difficulties. 

In 2005-2007, he pursued his M.S.W. from Rutgers University (New Brunswick).  Through his internships he worked in a hospital’s Teen Substance Abuse Program.  He provided individual/group treatment with 14-19 year olds, all mandated by the court system. 

He also interned for an agency providing individual, group, and family therapy for children ages 3-12 that come from homes experiencing domestic violence.  Upon graduation, he was hired by his second internship placement, and he has remained there as a full-time clinician.

Jason continues to work with boys and girls (ages 2-19) with severe emotional and behavioral issues from various ethnic backgrounds, races, and religions. He still goes into his client's homes till this very day.
 

Philosophy and Style

Jason believes that parents are capable of gaining the leaderships skills necessary to restore order in the home, strengthen the bond between parent/child, and reconnect with their children.  He is highly attuned to the leadership process and communication skills and he has the expertise to point out effective ways to bring peace into the home.

His unique “on the front line of battle” experiences make Jason a powerful catalyst for change when working with families.  Though reprogramming, exploration, guidance, and direct training, his clients learn to confront their fears, plan effectively, and take the steps to reclaim their parental power.
