We often think of trauma as something that lives in our memories, but for many of us, it lives in our bodies. If you’ve ever felt "stuck" in a cycle of anxiety, hyper-vigilance, or exhaustion despite your best efforts to move forward, your nervous system is likely still trying to protect you from the past.

I’m Christy Johnson, LCSW, and founder of Kind Mind, NM. My mission is to help people in New Mexico move from a state of survival to a state of thriving. My approach isn't about "just talking" through the pain—it’s about using the science of the mind and body to create real, actionable change.

With specialized training in the neurobiology of trauma and somatic trauma healing techniques, I guide my clients through the process of restoring balance to their nervous systems. By combining neuroscience-backed techniques with a deep focus on self-compassion, we work together to quiet the "noise" of past painful experiences and improve your daily quality of life.

Trauma healing in the comfort of your own private space. I provide high-quality, HIPAA-compliant telehealth throughout the state. Whether you are in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, or one of our rural communities, you deserve access to expert trauma care from the safety and comfort of your own space. I offer an unbiased, warm, and respectful online environment where you can process and heal from past painful experiences.
