Getting to know Shanta Johnson

UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. My focus is for my clients to live their best lives. I offer compassion, honesty, and direct questioning. I ask those difficult questions that clients frequently know the answer to but find hard to say out loud without judgment. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which informs my approach and commitment to supporting my clients with empathy and professionalism.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide a listening ear to my clients. We all should be living our best lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My desire is to focus on working with the older adult population so that they can live their best life. I work to challenge misconceptions about counseling and make it a common practice among this age group.

The prices for visits are dependent on your co-pay amount through your insurance. If you are a cash-pay client, our price ranges from $75 to $145 per visit
