Therapist & Owner of (CCFAM) Center for Counseling and Family Relationships, CCFAM Training, and Play Therapy Training Resources
Hello, I’m Dr. Rhonda Johnson.
If you’ve been looking for a practice that will partner with you and provide care for every member of the family, you’ve just found it!
In 1999, I began my career around Fort Worth providing therapy to children, teens, adults, and families. In 2007, I founded Center for Counseling and Family Relationships with a focus on providing counseling services for the entire family with specialties in family systems, play therapy, trauma, and applying a biblical worldview by a client’s choice. We very quickly became a group counseling practice, and I am SO grateful for the lives we have been able to impact through the decades. We look forward to your family being included in lives impacted too!
My husband, Jacob, is the CEO of the continuing education businesses CCFAM Training and Play Therapy Training Resources. Jacob and I view the businesses as a ministry to our community and our staff who are our chosen family.
Outside of here, you can also find me teaming with my husband and adopted young adult daughter through the ministries at our church, serving others, exercising, traveling to conferences with our training businesses, and grabbing gluten- and dairy-free snacks.

My Counseling Approach
Life has many trials and circumstances at any age that we don’t have the opportunity to plan for ahead of time. When those events start to impact the life of your family, that’s where I come in to provide the support and partnering you need on the journey.
With children, I use child-centered play therapy and Trust Based Relational Intervention™️. For children that have experienced abuse or hardships early in life, I provide a safe space, build trust, the opportunity for the child to have a “voice” through play, acknowledgement of their needs at their current developmental stage, skills for building relationships, and partnering with parents to build a strong, lasting relationship with their child. Each of these provide the opportunity for healing to begin and for a child’s developmental maturity to catch up to their chronological age.
With families, I use experiences through sand tray, games, and art to build unity, create memories, foster creativity, moments of laughter and thoughtfulness, and the opportunity to reconsider roles of each family member, decision making, relationships with each other into the future.
For clients of all ages, I weave in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and Somatic Experiencing™️, which simplified means finding tools to keep memories we didn’t choose to experience, both in our brain and in our body, from having an impact on daily thought patterns, decision making, values choices, and relationships.
Every individual’s life is a uniquely interwoven story of blessings and hardships. I believe that God has uniquely wired each of us with strengths that can also be our weaknesses. By utilizing those strengths and seeking wisdom from scripture, I partner with my clients to determine their goals in every area of life, leading to an assessment of the values, choices, community, and relationships needed to lead to their hopes for their future.
