“My husband and I are incredibly grateful for the progress we’ve made under her guidance. From the very beginning, she has brought a holistic approach to our sessions. She helped us connect the dots between our past experiences, current communication patterns, and the ways we care for ourselves individually, which has made all the difference. We appreciate is that she is very solution-oriented. She strikes a balance between deep emotional understanding and realistic, forward-moving action.”

Getting to know Makeesa Johnson
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is based in Georgia. I also have a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy as well as Grief Counseling. My Master’s degree is in Mental Health Counseling, which was obtained from St. Thomas University. For the past fifteen years, I have been working as a counselor in multiple sectors including Outpatient Behavior Health, Inpatient Psychiatric facility, and the Emergency department as a Mobile Crisis Counselor. I have co-facilitated a PTSD Women’s Trauma group for the past ten years, helping survivors to overcome the pain of sexual abuse/assault. My experience has further involved helping couples and families to mend fractured relationships by learning how to manage conflict, develop healthy boundaries, and provide support. Working with adults who struggle with feelings of anxiety and depression who desire to learn how to manage unhealthy thoughts and feelings and learn healthy coping skills, is my passion.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
