Shanta Johnson, LCSW

Shanta Johnson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
Hello, I'm Shanta. My journey into the world of mental health was deeply influenced by my grandparents. Watching the support they received and recognizing the gaps in care for others inspired me to make a difference. For over nine years, I've dedicated myself to working with patients suffering from chronic illnesses. The stress that patients, families, and caregivers endure while managing health and mental health issues can be overwhelming, and I'm here to help ease that burden. I aim to provide the listening ear that is so often needed. My focus is on working with the older adult population, helping them navigate life's transitions and live their best lives. I strive to challenge misconceptions about counseling and make it a common practice among this age group. I believe that therapy should be accessible and beneficial for everyone, regardless of age. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, ensuring that you feel heard and supported every step of the way. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, stress, or life transitions, know that you don't have to face it alone. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future. Let's take the first step on this journey together.
