Getting to know Ja'Nera Johnson

Welcome! I'm an LCSW and New Orleans native who is licensed in Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, and D.C. I’ve worked with a variety of clinical presentations in various clinical settings. I have experience working with youth, adults, and families. The settings in which I’ve practiced include intensive inpatient, clinic, and substance use disorder My approach I collaboratively assist clients with improving their self-esteem, resolving trauma and attachment injuries, managing depression and anxiety, challenging negative thought processes, emotion dysregulation, and processing symptoms of grief and mood disorders. This is a collaborative therapeutic process that allows fostering one's sense of self. My focus I'm trauma-focused, so identify those maladaptive and adaptive patterns that disrupt the process of growth and evolution. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorder, personality disorders, family conflicts, identity or attachment issues, or self-esteem: I'm traianed in various modalities including EMDR to decrease those barriers. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with support and candidness. I've had consistent feedback and ratings of being "so easy to talk to, supportive, and thought-provoking". My journey to mental healthcare I was a former pre-nursing student who experienced a family crisis, and within that crisis, I met an amazing therapist who challenged my idea of what support looked like. My goals for you This is a loaded question, but collaboration, goal-oriented, and individualized...after all, we're all so different. My first session with you It's basically information gathering, identifying and prioritizing goals, and discussing the treatment process in its entirety.
