Greetings! My name is Kimberly Johnson, Licensed Professional Counselor. I am grateful for the opportunity to potentially work with you as a therapist. I would like to commend you on taking the necessary steps to gain supports at this time in your life. It takes courage and willingness to do what you have done thus far. Kudos to you! It is my goal, as your therapist, to partner with you step by step, on identifying strategies, healthy supports, and the unique abilities you possess as we navigate the obstacles that you feel hinder you from accomplishing the goals you want to achieve. I am a compassionate, empathetic, solution focused therapist that is dedicated personally and professionally. I have 16 years of experience in Education, Mental Health, and Counseling. My educational background includes Bachelors of Science (Virginia State University), Masters of Counselor Education (VSU), Masters of Mental Health Counseling (Walden University), and currently enrolled into Walden University's doctoral program for Counseling . I am licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. I hold a Pupil Personnel License (PreK-12-VA), National Board Certification as a National Certified Counselor-NCC, National Certified School Counselor-NCSC, and serve as a Military and Family Life Consultant. I also have a passion for working with adults and children through expressive art techniques, music, and the utilization of play therapy techniques. I will utilize a therapeutic framework that focuses on your specific needs, that is solution focused, culturally sensitive, and empowering to your path of success. Again, you are courageous and I commend you for taking such an important step in your life.
