Getting to know Zainab L. Johnson
"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning.
Hello there and welcome! My journey toward becoming a mental health therapist was not very straightforward, but I kept finding myself drawn back to this field. I didn't choose this career; it chose me. Being with people as they experience the things that hurt is what has drawn me to therapy. Part of what I love about my work is the belief that everyone has a story to tell, and I am deeply grateful to all the clients who are willing to share their stories with me. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, no matter how challenging the circumstances.
Each time a client moves through a difficult patch and learns new ways to accept their own experience, I become even more invested. It feels like helping people at a grassroots level. Over nearly seven years in the field, I have enjoyed serving diverse populations in hospitals, schools, and community settings. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, which has further equipped me to support my clients with empathy and skill.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You decide what you want to work on, and we work together to meet your goals. We as humans were created for connection with others. We all experience life struggles and unexpected circumstances that make life challenging. The balance of these life challenges can be difficult to navigate on our, making it confusing and frustrating. My focus is on helping you the client discover your self-worth and core values in order to help you build a life that you are proud of. I have a strong belief that counseling means going on a journey together. I encourage taking baby steps each session and with each step, growth occurs. Each session leaves you with a better sense of self and that provides the motivation and determination needed to get you through your week. I am here just for you.

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.
