Won-Fong Lau

Dr. Lau Johnson is a Licensed Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist whose focus is on serving children, adolescents and families. Clinically, I’ve developed a particular expertise in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and completing psychological evaluations for children and adolescents, as well as parent-coaching and consulting. Community and research-wise, I’ve had a career-long focus with developing culturally responsive treatment programs and strategies to serve historically marginalized youth. As a Licensed Psychologist, I provide services to children, adolescents, adults, and parents (parent training/consultation). My training has primarily been in evidence-based treatments, and I often rely upon cognitive-behavior therapy, family systems, and a life-span developmental, holistic and culturally responsive approach. However, I strongly believe in the importance of individualizing treatment programs to accommodate optimally the needs of the individuals involved. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families that present with a wide range of socio-emotional, behavioral, and learning/academic challenges. I provide individual therapy and psychological testing/assessment services to children and adolescents. Additionally, I provide parent training and psychoeducation to parents with children that have internalizing or externalizing mental health concerns.
