Tanya Johnson, LPC

Tanya Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor at MPA's McAlester location. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Science in Human Resources, both from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. She is trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and works with clients ages 13 and up.

Tanya is drawn to the practical and the relational — helping people understand their thought patterns, manage their emotions, and build lives that feel more livable. She's the kind of counselor who meets clients where they are.

At the end of a long day? She's cuddling her dogs. If that doesn't say something about her capacity for comfort and care, nothing will.
