Organizational Consulting
For 10 years, Dr. Johnson has been involved in various types of trainings for groups and organizations. She uses an intersectional and Freirian approach to diversity and inclusion training and consulting that marries her training as counseling psychologist with her scholarly knowledge of race and culture, and the ways that gender, social class, sexuality, and ability status, among other aspects of identity shape how groups and organization function. Dr. Johnson believes in a multi-systemic approach that first diagnoses, and then shapes interventions from a multi-step method. Common interventions including increasing knowledge around race and culture, social-emotional learning around race and culture, restructuring of policies and norms that disenfranchise vulnerable groups, and starting and maintaining racial dialogues.
