Think Brain Based
Dr. Johnson

-Owner
Dr. Tara Johnson, a school psychologist of 17 years, has worked to serve and support learners, educators, and parents in the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral realms. Dr. Johnson is a member of the National Association of School Psychologists and Georgia Association of School Psychologists. Dr. Johnson is passionate about student learning and overall well-being. In her service as a school psychologist, in public and private sectors, Dr. Johnson observed the many challenges students encounter through her provision of psycho-educational evaluations and a range of other school-related services. Though students, of all ability levels, have difficulties in some aspects of cognitive, social, or emotional development, Dr. Johnson recognized that many do not receive the ongoing individualized or group supports that are needed to manage and overcome their challenges. Think Brain Based was born from this recognition and a desire to support the growth and achievement of children, adolescents, and learners of all ages with strategies personalized according to their unique abilities.

Dr. Johnson is from Cleveland, OH. While in early elementary school, Dr. Johnson struggled with attention and learning. Her early school struggles were overcome in childhood when she developed a love for reading.

Dr. Johnson is a proud graduate of Warrensville Heights High School, Bethune-Cookman University (B.S. is Psychology), the Florida State University (Specialist in Education – Counseling and Human Systems – School Psychology specialization) and Capella University (PhD in Educational Psychology). Throughout her seventeen–year career in school psychology, Dr. Johnson has consulted, coached, and collaborated with students, parents, and educators on topics including Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Autism, Executive Functioning, ADHD, cognitive processes, and mood and behavioral disorders. Dr. Johnson loves education and psychology and aligns her work to cognitive-behavioral and social-learning theories through a positive psychology lens (gratitude, optimism, happiness, curiosity, and courage).

Dr. Johnson started Think Brain Based in 2022 to coach, consult, educate, and promote brain-focused strategies for academic success. Dr. Johnson is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She is a woman of Christian-faith and believes in the limitless possibilities of the human mind, body, and spirit.
