My BH Therapist was a great match! She’s kind, funny, and knowledgeable. She has helped me through some tough times. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything, she’s straight forward (in a kind way), and professional yet laid back. She’s the kind of therapist I was hoping for.

My sessions with LENITA have been so helpful and productive. She fits my style and preferences I was looking for in a counselor. She’s helpful with taking our sessions to the place where I can see the root and causes of my issues and concerns in order to start working on processing and healing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor who is quick and precise.

This is my first time trying therapy and I couldn’t have had a better therapist. Lenita made me feel comfortable sharing my experience with my eating disorder and has taught me tools that aid in my recovery every day. I wouldn’t have been able to get to the healthy place I am at if it wasn’t for her support, guidance and belief in me. Words cannot express how thankful I am for her time and kindness.

She's not there to sugarcoat things for me, she's there to help me figure this stuff out and find a healthier me. 10/10 would recommend

After weeks of figuring out the right counselor, Lenita Johnson was presented as an option.
All I can say is so far I believe this will be a great match. It’s been over 13 years since my last counseling and I am at another crossroad in my life.
Having a sounding board, trained counselor and a no judgement zone allows for the process to take its course.
Somewhere in the valley of life, I got lost!
I believe with the proper help I will get back to me! I am excited to unraveling years of bondage of self! Lenita will see that I do!

I was very nervous to begin counseling. There seemed to be just too much information and background try to convey. I was overwhelmed. TOO overwhelmed to even begin...I'm thankful that there were only a few steps to getting started, then Lenita just put me at ease right away and assured me that there would be time and space to feel safe and cared for...and there has been. I am grateful.
