About
Trudy M. Johnson

Trudy M. Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist· Doctor of Biblical Counseling Colorado (#755), Tennessee (#1182), Arizona (#15626). For more than two decades, Trudy Johnson has walked alongside individuals and couples navigating the most difficult seasons of their relational lives - offering faith-aware, clinically grounded guidance with compassion and clarity. In 2005, Trudy began her counseling career at a Christian retreat center in Colorado, learning Brief Intensive Therapy - working with clients one or two weeks at a time. She quickly discovered that this immersive format was far more effective for "the hard issues" than traditional 50-minute session. Seeing the need to serve trauma clients more deeply, Trudy became an Advanced Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. She also studied Biblical formation and trauma from a biblical perspective at Ashland Seminary. In 2019, she completed her Doctorate in Biblical Counseling from Masters International School of Divinity. Out of her years of training, the Emet Trauma Resolution tool was born - a stand-alone protocol grounded in Scripture that helps clients identify false refuge systems blocking spiritual growth. As part of her own testimony, Dr. Trudy has a particular passion for helping women recover from from toxic relationships - through resources like the "Trying to Decide," for women in abusive relationships and through the A'nesis Retreat and Counseling Sabbatical online intensives.
