Focus. Thrive. Grow. Real-life therapy rooted in experience, faith, and a heart for families.

Hi, I’m Todd Johnson — a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Leawood, Kansas. I specialize in helping individuals, families, and couples navigate ADHD, parenting challenges, anxiety, and relational stress.

I hold a degree in Religious Education from Missouri Baptist University, which enriched my understanding of human values and the spiritual dimension of life. Further, I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas, equipping me with the expertise to help individuals and families navigate life's challenges.​Prairie View Counseling LLC

My journey in Kansas began when I moved to Olathe after completing my college education, working as a youth pastor. Over the years, I've developed a deep connection with this community, and while I cherish my hometown of St. Louis and my roots in Olathe, I'm eager to serve clients from across Johnson County and the vibrant Kansas City area.​Prairie View Counseling LLC

As a husband, a dad, and someone who lives with ADHD, this work is personal to me. I understand what it’s like to juggle responsibilities, manage stress, and feel like you’re constantly playing catch-up. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped — with tools that actually work in your real life.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m passionate about the intersection of relationships, neurodiversity, and emotional wellness. Much of my work centers around ADHD — not just the clinical side, but the way it affects families, marriages, parenting, and day-to-day functioning.

I’m particularly interested in helping clients understand the “why” behind their struggles — whether it’s emotional regulation, executive functioning, communication breakdowns, or chronic stress — and then working together to create tools that actually fit their life.

I’m a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and continue to pursue ongoing training in areas like ADHD-informed care, family systems theory, and integrative approaches to therapy. My approach is grounded, strategic, and always focused on helping clients feel both supported and empowered.

• ADHD across the lifespan (children, teens, adults)
• Parent coaching and family support
• Executive functioning and motivation
• Teen identity, emotion regulation, and anxiety
• Couples therapy and relational communication
• Family systems and relational dynamics
• Faith-informed therapy (upon request)
• Narrative therapy and internal family systems (IFS)
• Psychoeducation and tools for neurodivergent families
• Emotional overwhelm and burnout in parents

Outside the therapy room, I’m a husband, a dad, and a Golden Retriever guy — our two Goldens are basically part of the family brand. I’m a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs fan, and yes, there’s probably a game on in the background if I’m not cooking something on the Blackstone or smoking a brisket on the Traeger.

I love spending time with my family at Disney World (we’re those people who have the maps memorized), and I’ve got a not-so-secret Star Wars obsession — you’ll spot a few Easter eggs if you visit my office.

Faith is central to how I live and work. I’m actively involved in my church community and believe in showing up for people — locally and globally. Each year, I run with Team World Vision to help bring clean water to communities in need around the world. It’s one of the ways I stay connected to something bigger than myself.

When life slows down, you’ll find me enjoying a good café mocha or a glass of bourbon, walking the dogs, reading, or playing a board game with my daughter. Sometimes I’m even lucky enough to remember why I walked into a room in the first place.

Real life keeps me grounded — and it’s a big part of why I do this work the way I do.
