His interest in mental health developed out of a curiosity to understand the colorful street people of that era. This interest led to receiving a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from San Francisco State University. He graduated from Fresno State University with a Masters of Social Work with a psychiatric focus in 1978. He published "A Pilot Study of Personality Type Change" as a result of thesis research in 1980. This began his counseling career that led to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This licensure allowed him to conduct therapy and marriage counsel Lee Johnson(1954-) was born in Washington state, but relocated to San Francisco when two years old. He was raised and influenced during the cultural movement of the 1960s and 70s. His interest in mental health developed out of a curiosity to understand the colorful street people of that era. This interest led to receiving a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from San Francisco State University. He graduated from Fresno State University with a Masters of Social Work with a psychiatric focus in 1978. He published "A Pilot Study of Personality Type Change" as a result of thesis research in 1980. This began his counseling career that led to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This licensure allowed him to conduct therapy and marriage counseling in private practice.

He extended his therapy skills by graduating from the Biofeedback Institute of Los Angeles. This allowed him to treat high blood pressure, anxiety, headaches, insomnia and related psycho-physiological disorders. Lee transition to medical social work on cardiac and medical-surgical units required bereavement family counseling. This developed into working for a hospice doing death and dying counseling. He credits the hospice experience for enlightening him to the end of life issues. After his hospice work, he established a workers compensation private practice treating and advocating for injured employees. He became an instructor/counselor for a diet clinic advising on mental heath issues and eating. He established a stress reduction and anxiety management program for the diet center. After relocating to Arizona, he continued his practice of psychotherapy with hospitalized patients.

Due to broad interests, Lee began to study business investments and became a registered representative or stockbroker. Combining this with an insurance license allowed him to offer annuities for 401k and 403b tax deferred retirement plans. He then applied stock market knowledge to the real estate markets as an investor. But, missing the depth of working with people, he returned to counseling. He continues to do volunteer counseling and enjoys continual research and study in gerontology and retirement areas. The accumulation of all this diverse experience is evidenced in his current work for women.

“Social security cannot stop due to the large scale human dependence on the program for basic needs. Congress has the mandate to continue this program and the Federal Reserve has the ability to print money to bail it out. So, do not live in fear expecting the worst because this entitlement program is not going away anytime soon.”
