Getting to know Sharika Johnson
My passion for supporting others is what inspired my journey into the counseling field. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Human Resources Manager in the corporate world, where I often offered a listening ear to employees facing personal and work-related challenges. Those experiences showed me how much our emotional well-being impacts our daily lives, relationships, and careers. I realized that people needed more than casual support—they needed a safe and compassionate space to process, heal, and grow. That calling led me to pursue a career in counseling, where I could combine my natural empathy with professional training to make a lasting difference.
Today, I’m honored to work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, helping them navigate life’s challenges and build confidence, resilience, and healthier relationships. Whether it’s child therapy, teen counseling, trauma recovery, marriage counseling, or online therapy, I create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.
When you work with me, you’ll enter a safe, judgment-free environment where your voice is heard and your story truly matters. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning we work together to find the strategies that work best for you. I blend compassion with effective, evidence-based therapies such as Play Therapy, CBT, EMDR, IFS, and EFT, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs.
My focus is on helping clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and coping skills while improving relationships and overall well-being. Whether you are searching for a child therapist, teen counselor, trauma therapist, marriage counseling, or telehealth counseling near you, I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
Helping others find healing isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Together, we can create meaningful change and move toward a healthier, more empowered version of yourself.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that my approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I am deeply committed to helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate trauma, emotional challenges, and complex family dynamics. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your relationship, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can take place.
In our work together, you can expect me to listen without judgment, honor your story, and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches—including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and strengthen coping skills.
Most importantly, you’ll know that you’re not alone on this journey. My goal is to walk alongside you every step of the way, helping you or your loved one move toward confidence, healing, and lasting transformation.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins by creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I take time to understand your background, current challenges, and goals so we can develop a personalized treatment plan together. Every client is unique, which is why I use a tailored, integrative approach that blends the best of evidence-based therapies.
I work with children (ages 2+), teens, adults, couples, and families, using a combination of Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma Therapy. This allows me to address a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and family conflict.
As a Telehealth Certified Provider, Adoption Competency Trained clinician, EMDR-trained therapist, and certified Prepare & Enrich facilitator, I am equipped to offer specialized support for individuals, couples, and families in various life stages.
Throughout the process, my goal is to foster resilience, build insight, and empower transformation, while walking alongside you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create practical strategies for growth, healing, and lasting change.
