Hello,
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with over 8 years of experience working as an individual and family counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, familial issues, addiction issues, career challenges, and multi-cultural concerns. I am also a trauma informed counselor and I really enjoy working with families and individuals.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, experiential, psycho-educational and solution-focused counseling techniques. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shayla Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Shayla has helped me tremendously on my journey to healing and self discovery. She has been there patiently wading through the murky waters of my past and helping me establish healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with the trauma of my upbringing and early adulthood. I cant thank her enough for her help and im so happy to have her in my corner.

Shayla is the best therapist I have worked with. She listens, but is not solely passive— she points out patterns and has very interesting and helpful perspectives on issues I thought I had analyzed from every angle. But, she’s never pushy or over bearing. She is professional yet clearly caring and kind. I cannot recommend her enough!

Shayla is the absolute best and I wouldn’t want any other therapist.

I feel absolutely comfortable and safe when talking to Shayla she is super nice and understanding and allows me to feel human when chatting and not just like I’m talking to a robot. I love the fact that I have grown so much mentally and emotionally in the short time I have been chatting with her!
