Vanity Johnson

Hi, I'm Vanity Johnson, LCSW. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who believes everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard, understood, and supported.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, family challenges, school-related concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences.

My background as a school social worker has given me extensive experience supporting young people and families navigating complex circumstances, including foster care, housing instability, pregnancy and parenting during adolescence, family challenges, and other life stressors.

I have a particular passion for supporting youth and young adults who have experienced trauma, exploitation, trafficking, or other adverse experiences.

I Can Help With

• Anxiety and stress • Self-esteem and confidence • Emotional regulation • School-related concerns • Family challenges • Relationships and boundaries • Life transitions • Trauma and difficult experiences • Foster care-related challenges • Youth and young adults affected by exploitation or trafficking • Parenting and family concerns

What I Want You to Know

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.

You don't have to know exactly what to say.

And you don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone.

We'll start where you are and work from there.

I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—not judge you.

Together, we'll identify your goals, explore what's getting in the way, develop healthy coping strategies, and build on the strengths you already have.

For children and teens, I focus on creating a comfortable environment where they can express themselves while working collaboratively with parents and caregivers when appropriate.

In our first session, we will talk about what has been feeling hardest lately, what concerns are showing up at home, at school, or in daily life, and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. You can share at your own pace, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and not judged. You will leave with a clearer sense of what we can focus on together and how therapy can help.
