Cody

Cody Johnson is a licensed clinical psychologist and an avid outdoor enthusiast, operating his practice, Nature's Path Therapy, nestled in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina. Leveraging a unique combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Adventure Therapy, and expressive arts therapy, Cody empowers individuals who feel disconnected from nature and themselves to rediscover their inner peace and connection to the world around them.

Having graduated with a B.A. in Environmental Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Prescott College, and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Cody has always been passionate about integrating nature into therapeutic practices. On a crisp autumn day in November 2023, Cody organized a group therapy session that involved a guided hike through the Blue Ridge Mountains, followed by a reflective art session using materials found in nature. This event was particularly transformative for participants, offering them a fresh perspective on life challenges and fostering a renewed sense of resilience.

Dedicated to promoting mental health awareness in rural communities, Cody ensures that everyone who walks into his office feels welcomed and understood. His approach is warm and conversational, making complex psychological concepts accessible and relatable. Cody believes in the healing power of nature and the importance of crafting a personalized journey for every individual who seeks solace and growth.
