✨ Meet our next Clinician Spotlight: Kelly Nusbaum Johnson Kelly Johnson, LMHC ✨

Kelly is a steady, grounded presence at Pillars of Wellness, known for her dedication to mindfulness and her passion for helping others slow down and reconnect with what matters most. Whether she’s guiding clients through intentional awareness practices or developing programming behind the scenes, Kelly brings both heart and professionalism to everything she does.

Her supervisor Jason Kniola, NCC, LMHC, LCAC shared:
“Kelly Johnson is passionately and professionally driven to create and implement mindfulness-based programming. She has brought new life and structure to the mindfulness program, inspiring clinicians and clients alike to learn and practice this valuable skill.”

Kelly’s newest blog, “The Good Old Days” Can Be NOW, invites readers to gently explore the idea that ease isn’t something we lost in the past — it’s something we can cultivate right here in the present. Through practical, accessible mindfulness strategies, she reminds us that even in busy seasons, we can create small moments of steadiness and care.

When she’s not supporting clients, Kelly enjoys spending time with family and friends — the moments that truly fill her cup. And in the next five years, she has her sights set on traveling to Japan. 🌸

Kelly is currently accepting new clients. If you’re interested in mindfulness-based therapy or learning more about our 8-Week Mindful Wellness Program, we’d love to connect.

“Certain kinds of safety can’t be taught—they’re felt when two nervous systems decide to trust at the same time.”

Healing doesn’t always happen alone. In couples and group therapy, safety is built together—through shared presence, honest connection, and learning how to regulate, repair, and grow alongside others.
At Pillars of Wellness, we create spaces where connection becomes the catalyst for change.

If you’re ready to heal in relationship, we’re here.

What participants can expect:
• Structured, skills-based mindfulness support
• Practical tools for emotional regulation and stress management
• A culturally inclusive, judgment-free environment
• Options for individuals, small groups, and staff teams
