Stress & Trauma Resolution
Stress Resolution
Stress is a common feeling in today’s world, but the results of stressful situations may cause harmful physical, emotional and relational effects. Stress resolution involves a complete examination of oneself, the situation and practical means of making adjustments.
Trauma Resolution
Trauma of any kind is an unexpected negative experience that causes many emotions. Midlands specializes in trauma therapy and resolution as a procedure to recover feelings that we have repressed, find appropriate expression of these feelings, and experience current life without the effect of repressed feelings.
Children & Adolescents
Dr. Johnson offers child and adolescent assessments, testing and consultation, as well as assessment of personality characteristics, intelligence factors, brain functioning, emotional maturity and social maturity. Our goal is to increase the child’s self-esteem and social-esteem.
Following the assessment Dr. Johnson makes recommendations to parents and schools to assist the child’s adjustment in school, home and social life. Dr. Johnson does limited post-evaluation therapy.
Psychological Testing and Evaluations
Psychological Testing
We are one of the few clinics in the Madison area to offer extensive psychological testing. Why? We see testing as extremely valuable for understanding our prospective clients. This testing focuses on understanding your strengths and your relationship, vocational or academic challenges. Patients that complete the testing develop personal insight, which leads to shortened treatment.
Evaluations
Midlands also offers neuropsychological examinations in cases where it is helpful to understand neurological factors like intelligence, brain strength and brain limitations leading to specific behavioral directions.
Relationship Assessments
We provide the greater Madison and Lodi communities a safe and confidential space for individuals to examine the nature of their relationship. Couples and/or marriage counselling start with an assessment that assists in understanding each other, determines if the relationship is viable and determines ways to enhance a successful relationship and assist in loving each other.
The process of relational assessment:
- You and your partner will have an initial visit with Dr. Johnson
- Dr. Johnson will then visit individually with both of you
- You and your partner will complete our standard psychological tests
- Dr. Johnson will interpret the findings of the joint meeting, your individual meetings and the tests
- In the final assessment session, Dr. Johnson will discuss if further treatment is necessary, for either the couple or for the individuals
You may find the assessment gives you sufficient tools to manage your relationship better.
Intensive Psychotherapy
Looking for psychology therapy but live outside of the Madison area and can’t make weekly appointments? We offer an “intensive” psychotherapy experience for individuals or couples where patients come to our clinic for 4-5 days and undergo psychotherapy for 5-7 hours a day. This intensive experience includes a full psychological assessment with recommendations.
