Kaleena Johnson

I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. With nearly 20 years of experience in behavioral health, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life's most difficult moments, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma, recovery, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in co-occurring disorders and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Throughout my career, I've worked across a variety of settings, including community mental health, outpatient services, crisis intervention, residential treatment, school-based services, and supportive programs for underserved communities. These experiences have shaped my belief that healing looks different for everyone and that therapy should honor each person's unique story, strengths, and goals.

I'm especially passionate about working with adults who have spent much of their lives caring for others, navigating overwhelming responsibilities, or feeling like they have to carry everything on their own. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process, so I strive to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully yourself.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based practices, and trauma-informed care to help you better understand yourself while developing practical tools you can use in everyday life.

I believe therapy should not only help you process the past but also empower you to move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and self-compassion.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. My priority is creating a comfortable, welcoming space where you can share your story at your own pace. There's no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say.

We'll talk about what has brought you to therapy, explore your current concerns, discuss your personal history, and identify what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process so you know what to expect moving forward.

By the end of our first session, my hope is that you leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of how we can work together to help you reach your goals.
