A board-certified art therapist, Rhonda Johnson (she/her) specializes in working with children with behavior issues. During the challenging times of the pandemic, she successfully adapted art therapy methods to be as impactful as possible via telehealth platforms. Working on the belief that creative efforts offer opportunities to heal, she sees her role as supporting and encouraging people to understand themselves more fully through artmaking and other creative pursuits. In her work with Open Studio Process (OSP), Rhonda provides workshops for teens and adults centered on themes about identity, transformation, and nurturing. The foundation of nonjudgmental, non-diagnostic, supported creative exploration is the basis for her work. Before the pandemic, Rhonda worked at a behavioral health center in Newark, NJ, creating and running their art therapy program for over 50 children and teens. In her spare time, she indulges in Britcoms, knitting, drawing and reading.
