meet the team.
Kara Montgomery Johnson, LMFT
Campus Health Lead Therapist
My counseling specialty areas are coping with grief, loss, and change, professional burnout/compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, anxiety, relationships affected by work stress and difficulties, and finding, changing or leaving careers. I have supported healthcare, religious and other professionals as they navigate through difficult times in life and work. I use many tools in therapy, to include mindfulness, strength-based counseling, solution-focused therapy, psychoeducation and neuroeducation as it relates to mental well-being. I hold a license in marriage and family therapy (LMFT) and am a certified grief counseling specialist. As an avid educator, I have taught courses as an adjunct instructor at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and currently develop and teach seminars and retreats. I supervise new therapists as an LMFT MN Board Approved Supervisor. Please contact me to begin some focused work together. I look forward to meeting you and will be honored to be a part of new growth and change.

“Making the choice to engage in therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Together, we’ll figure out what you need and how we can make it happen.”

“Therapy creates an opportunity for you to take time for yourself, to think through what you want to be different, and to fix what’s not working.”
