About me

Peace! I am Anwar Johnson a licensed professional counselor (LPC) from Philadelphia, PA; I am a graduate of Morehouse College (B.A.) and Howard University (M.Ed). I provide services from my own framework called Identity & Role Rehabilitation (IRR) which can be understood as a synthesis of Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

Identity & Role Rehabilitation (IRR) is a unified field theory that explores the injunctions of economics, natural law, and human bondage as they relate to religious dogma and cosmological science. IRR accomplishes this through a critical historical analysis of the literal as well as existential subordination and universalization of the American “Negro”. Through the manifested and abstract realities of the American “Negro”, clients will engage in meaningful investigation of their own neurochemistry, logic, thought, speech, emotional response and perception across six domains including the self, home, work, school, community, and romantic life.

Working with Anwar has been great! He really identified blocks I was having and hit the nail on the head every time! He explained things to me in a way that made it easier for me to process and be able to functionally work through problems. There are lessons or ideas he’ll share with me that have quickly integrated themselves into my everyday thinking to make it easier for me to process life in a healthier way!

Anwar has been an amazing therapist. He has help me begin to take responsibility for my life, without placing blame on myself or feeling bad about things that I can not change. He has been a blessing in my life and a sage guide through some of the toughest circumstances I've experienced.

Very informative and to the point which is what I need in a therapist. I felt I could open up and talk to him within minutes of our first session, so much was unpacked from the first session alone. I’ve had two sessions with him so far and I appreciate both and will continue to progress.
