Bend, Oregon is home to Autumn Therapeutics, LLC, a therapy practice serving individuals, couples, and families. The practice is owned and operated by Melinda Johnson, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) holding dual licensure in Oregon and Georgia. Johnson earned her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mercer University School of Medicine, along with a bachelor’s degree in human services and an associate degree in psychology.
Before relocating to Central Oregon, Johnson worked as a clinical supervisor at Piedmont Counseling Services in Georgia, where she provided supervision and clinical oversight to 32 therapists and counselors while also providing direct services to individuals, couples, and families.
