Most practices offer therapy or psychiatry. At Centered Mind Counseling Services, our mental health clinic in Issaquah and Sammamish offers both, and a team that works together on your behalf.

Issaquah and Sammamish’s Comprehensive Mental Health Clinic

You Deserve Care That Is Built Around You

Whatever brings you here, we are here to help. Therapy, psychiatry, and coordinated care for children, teens, adults, and families throughout Washington State. Because sometimes the best care is all of it, working together.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Paula for 12 years. She has an exceptional ability to understand and connect with her clients. She stands out in her ability to eloquently work with those who are highly anxious. In fact, after my patients meet with Paula sometimes I don’t even need to prescribe medication, or I have been able to reduce the amount of medication they have been taking. I can state confidently that I have no hesitation recommending Paula to my patients.”
— Jennifer Spence, M.D., Issaquah Physician

Our Mental Health Clinic in Issaquah and Sammamish Can Help With…

Anxiety

You worry constantly and cannot seem to turn it off. You feel tense, on edge, and exhausted by it. Your child cries at the drop of a hat, struggles to make friends, or needs constant reassurance. Sleep is hard. Decisions feel impossible. Anxiety looks different for everyone, and relief is possible. We can help.

Depression

You wake up and the weight of it is already there. You are your own harshest critic and nothing feels like enough. Your child has gone quiet or stopped caring about the things they used to love. Depression can look like sadness, fog, or just feeling flat. There is a way through this — you do not have to find it alone.

ADHD and Attention

You have been told your whole life that you would do better if you just tried harder. Your child is bright but cannot seem to find their footing at school. Neither of you is broken. Some brains just work differently, and that is not a flaw. ADHD looks different across every age and stage of life, and the right support, whether that is therapy, medication management, or both, can change the entire experience. Imagine what becomes possible with the right support.

Autism Spectrum and Neurodivergence

We believe that neurodivergence is not something to fix. It is something to understand, support, and celebrate. Whether your child just received a diagnosis and you are not sure what comes next, or you have spent your whole life feeling like you see the world differently than everyone around you — you are in the right place. Our team provides affirming, compassionate care for individuals and families navigating ASD and neurodevelopmental differences at every age. You belong here, exactly as you are.

Trauma and PTSD

Something happened. Maybe a long time ago, maybe recently. Maybe you have never said it out loud to anyone. You find yourself bracing for things that other people do not seem to notice. Sleep is hard. Certain places, sounds, or moments take you somewhere you do not want to go. You have been carrying this for a long time and it is exhausting. You do not have to keep carrying it alone. Healing from trauma is possible, and our team is here to walk that road with you, at whatever pace feels right.

Medication Management and Psychiatry

Maybe you are wondering if medication could help. In the right hands, with the right support, medication can give you back access to yourself. Not change who you are. Our prescribers work with children, teens, and adults, whether you are in therapy here, seeing a therapist somewhere else, or not in therapy at all. At Centered Mind Counseling Services, your prescriber and your therapist are part of the same team, working from the same understanding of who you are. The right support can change everything.

Hi, I’m Paula Johnson, MS, LMHC, Owner and Director of Centered Mind Counseling Services

Paula Johnson, MS, LMHC — Owner and Director of Centered Mind Counseling Services in Issaquah and Sammamish, Washington

I was in fifth grade when I knew I wanted to spend my life helping others. More than 32 years in social services and 26 years as a counselor later, that has never changed.

I tend to think the best of others, and I have an intuitive understanding that as human beings we are all trying to do the best we can. It is an honor and a pleasure to spend my career working with people who have the courage to explore themselves on a deeper level. I love being a part of something so positive right here in our community.

Centered Mind Counseling Services is a culmination of my life journey thus far — a purpose and a mission that drives everything we do here.

Okay…enough about me. Let’s talk about you.
