Hey! You’re seeking help because it is needed. That’s huge! Many people don’t seek treatment or therapy but you’re already on this path. Some folks don’t find the path. You’ve got some idea of what you need and are ready for someone to be along with you on this journey. We both know humans succeed in a team not so much when we are alone. First, give yourself credit because it takes a lot of courage to not do things alone and to be willing to open up to someone you do not know. Your courage is where our journey together starts. It would be an honor to be a part of your team in life, for life!

Jessica Johnson

Jessica Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I am an experienced trauma resolution clinician and feel so honored to practice as a therapist. My approach centers around meeting you where you are, understanding what you would like to see shift or experience in a new way, and cultivate a path to your recovery.

I am a spiritually integrated clinician and provide a space for you to access your highest self. I recognize both substance and process addictions as a means of outdated coping. Fostering new ways to cope that honor you and your recovery path is central to my practice. Achieving safety and stability internally through the healing of attachment wounds and increasing internal recognition of worth is a byproduct of this process. Move from surviving to thriving.

Cana Rainwater

Therapist

Virtual • Griffin, GA


I am a licensed clinical social worker, meaning I studied both psychology and the context (environmental and social) that contributes to mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked with those recovering from trauma and addiction. Most of my clients are healing from experiences of violence, abuse, sexual assault, and/or neglect. In an effort to address symptoms faster, I obtained training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
