Aloha! I am a National Certified, Licensed mental health counselor, with my masters focused in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I believe a healthy mind begins with a well balanced and wholistic approach.
I like to exercise a full life focus within my therapy, encompassing all aspects of mental health to physical health.
My working experience includes experiential sailing therapy as well as recovery addictions therapy. I have worked with a wide range of populations, including families, adult couples, individuals, and especially teens. I have assisted my clients overcome anxiety, depression, confidence in sexuality, love of self, addictions, and physical or emotional trauma amongst many other concerns. Clients have reported that they feel comfortable enough to share things they have never shared with anyone else. My approach is heartfelt, true, and genuine, and hopefully you will give me the blessing to share with me too.
Many have hesitations about therapy, but if you are attending therapy, this means you are taking the best step to improving you mental health! I look forward to talking with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shealin 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.
Shealin is a great therapist that has helped me process many difficult situations in my life. She was very willing to learn with me about topics that she had less familiarity with in order to help facilitate therapy, including LGBT issues in particular. Overall, she is definitely a very kind and compassionate person, and I am delighted to have been with her.

Shealin helped me go through one of the most difficult times of my life. She is a great listener and helped me understand my feelings and emotions. She is helping me build a more confident and more emotionally stable version of myself. She's very friendly and easy going. After every session I feel optimistic that I'll be able to make a positive change in my life.

Feeling so lucky to be paired with Shealin. She is so kind and patient with me as I explain all the details to my rollarcoaster stories. I feel heard, understood, -it is truly apparent Shealin cares for my mental growth and wants to creatively help me navigate myself to being the best version of myself.

Shealin has been so helpful so far. What I really like about her approach is that she doesn't make any snap conclusions and give you some direction to unfold what may be the core of what is going on. She validates my thoughts and feelings which I have found very encourging. Having a thoughtful and warm person tell me that what I am feeling is normal has helped me open up even more and I feel we are now making some great progress.

I started therapy with Shaelin during a very hard time for me. I can say Shaelin has helped me a lot. I've never felt judged or pushed to make any desition, instead helping me to reach my own at my own pace and giving me tools to deal with situations better. I have noticed the change in me and so have others. I'm in a better place now

Shealin listens and is deeper than she appears. I would recommend her to a friend yes
