Getting to know Ja'nera Johnson

Welcome! I'm a Louisiana native who practices exclusively in both Texas and Louisiana. I've worked with a variety of clinical presentations in diverse settings. My experience includes working with youth, adults, and families in intense inpatient, clinical, intensive substance use treatment, mental health rehabilitation, correctional rehabilitation facilities, and school settings. I collaboratively assist clients in improving their self-esteem and self-worth, processing trauma, depression, anxiety, challenging negative cognitive processes and distortions, and managing symptoms of grief and feelings of adequacy. This collaborative therapeutic process allows me to encourage transformation by validating and supporting my clients as experts of themselves. I foster healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships through establishing boundaries, resolving grief and trauma, modifying core beliefs, challenging cognitive distortions, and engaging in self-care that prioritizes the higher self and self-worth. I have worked with adults, families, and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, family transitions, stress, abandonment wounds, childhood trauma, PTSD, substance use, mood disorders, personality disorders, and low self-worth. Many clients come to therapy due to academic, professional, and personal experiences with trauma throughout their lives, changes in family relationship systems and dynamics, substance use, declining mental health, work and familial stress, veteran-related issues, and low self-esteem and self-worth stemming from various life changes and transitions. I also collaborate with clients to cultivate self-compassion and develop healthy boundaries while processing and grieving their loss of self due to external and internal expectations. I hold a Master's in Social Work and a Bachelor's degree from Southern University at New Orleans, as well as an Associate's degree from Delgado Community College in New Orleans.
