About Dr. Johanna M. Tiemann

I am a licensed psychologist, a psychoanalyst, and a hypnotherapist with over twenty years of experience working with adults and couples suffering from a wide range of problems. I believe that the key to creating a meaningful experience in therapy hinges on my ability to listen closely and to do my best to put myself in another person’s shoes. Only in this way can I begin to understand another’s passions and goals, and facilitate another’s self-actualization. Although therapy is serious business, I also know that it can be uplifting. Self-revelation, when experience in the presence of another whose goal is to understand, can be life changing. There are many feelings that accompany this process; consider that one might be joy. I am especially familiar with problems emerging from chronic childhood trauma, early hospitalizations, infertility, pregnancy, parenting, and divorce. These problems, which are so present in our society, can lead to depression, anxiety, dissociation, isolation, and despair.
