About us

Carl Johnson is a clinical psychologist living and practicing in Winchester,
Virginia. His specialty is helping people affected by traumatic events. He
has published articles on his work and has led two dozen treatment missions
to war-devastated nations such as Kosovo and Rwanda.

In this work, most of his intervention has been done with Thought Field
Therapy [ TFT ], a leading method within the blossoming field of Energy
Pyschology. This therapeutic orientation attributes the relentless, unyielding
suffering of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [ PTSD ] to imbalances in the
body's systems of healing energy. It has become possible to correct these
imbalances with just a few sessions of treatment.

Dr. Johnson received his PhD from the University of Georgia and learned
advanced Thought Field Therapy from its founder, Dr. Roger Callahan. Dr.
Johnson came to Winchester from Richmond, where he served on the
faculties of Virginia Commonwealth University and the Medical College of
Virginia. He is a former president of the Richmond Psychological
Association and a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology of the American Board
of Professional Psychology. He is now retired from hospital work and
continues to help victims of PTSD, caused recently or even long ago.

Dr. Johnson's practice of clinical psychology has included the full range of
therapeutic modalities. But he observed that, with PTSD, traditional therapy
was producing slow or limited progress and even aggravated the symptoms
of his patients, due to its focus on the painful experiences.

Thought Field Therapy, however, approaches PTSD by working directly
with the energy system. With TFT it now is possible to return trauma-
disrupting channels of energy to their previous state of full balance,
thereby restoring peace.

Psychodiagnostic assessment helps to identify the effect of the trauma on
the various energy meridians. Then the therapist systematically balances
these specified meridians by applying noninvasive mechanical energy, or
tapping

Patients typically experience increasing relief as this treatment progresses.
When it is complete, patients customarily report a deep sense of healing,
immediately or very soon thereafter.
