Sharquita Johnson

Hi, I’m Sharquita.

A D.C Native, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in V.A., Christian Therapist, and Life Coach specializing in working with children, teens, adults, and families. I provide Teletherapy for those in Virginia and Life Coaching both in-person and online in the DMV area.

What are your dreams, goals, and heart desires? Together we create the life you envisioned focusing on Holistic Health; Purposeful Living, Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Social Health.

We will utilize your strengths, desires, and goals to explore and overcome biological, social & psychological factors contributing to your life stressors through our work together. It’s time you overcome unhealthy relationships, unhelpful coping, and get through uncharted waters.

I provide a safe space to help heal, provide relief, and give a strategy for those experiencing but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship/marital issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and uncontrollable anger.

In addition, I provide a non-judgmental environment to assist with family conflict, low self-confidence, life adjustment issues, religious/church difficulties, and people who have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma.

I want to help you create the life you envision.

Therapy is my niche, calling, and passion, and it is my mission to assist you in thriving in every area of your life.

I have two methodologies that I hold as foundation although I utilize others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)- " just means your thoughts produce your actions, your actions produce your habits and your habits become your personality".

On the other side of that is your body- (for some its trauma and others cycles and patterns). Your body keeps score of everything you have gone through! It is my duty to help you decide if it's the cart before the horse, the egg before the chicken and what to do with what you are or have experienced in your body.

With a focus on Holistic Health, I will utilize your strengths and gifts to assist you to overcome the unhealthy patterns you find yourself in.

My six areas of strength are Christian Therapy, Women Issues, Trauma, Relationships, Depression, and Anxiety.

I utilize eclectic interventions, give tools and strategies, and creative homework to assist you with your journey.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can learn real skills for the difficulties you face.

Together, we will break free of the destructive cycles that are holding you back and start you on the road to becoming the best version of yourself.

The first session is called a Diagnostic Assessment-60 min. Here I will be asking you questions to understand how I can help you moving forward. After we will discuss areas of opportunity and treatment planning. We will come up with 1-4 goals. Typical goals range.

Here are a few:

Family Relations/Communication Skills

Reducing Depressive, Anxiety or Stress Symptoms

Learn to deal with Emotional Conflicts and or Trauma Responses

Improve Self-Awareness, Self-Acceptance, and Self-Esteem
