Imogen Kate Johnson

Imogen Kate Johnson, M.A., LCSW, believes in the power of healing and personal growth. Known among friends as a "dream weaver" and "realistic optimist," Imogen is dedicated to guiding people towards discovering inner strength and effective coping mechanisms for life's hurdles. Prior to settling down in Portland, Oregon, Imogen spent over a decade working as a mental health advocate within the community health sector.

Holding a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California, an advanced certificate in trauma-focused therapy from Portland State University, and a Master of Arts in psychology from Reed College, Imogen is also a certified resilience coach. Her journey deepened when she faced her own challenge: after relocating to a small coastal town in 2019, she encountered a series of community crises that profoundly impacted her understanding of communal and environmental stress.

As a coach, educator, activist, and seasoned workshop facilitator, Imogen has partnered with individuals and groups facing complex social and personal issues. Alongside her partner, she has organized and led initiatives aimed at fostering support networks and building resilient communities, especially in areas affected by natural disasters and economic shifts. Together, they have made significant strides in empowering families and professionals navigating through tough times.

Now, on a quiet Sunday morning in December 2024, Imogen reflects on the path that has brought her here, ready to embrace whatever challenges the future may hold.
