About me

Are you looking for someone to talk to about your mental health because you are not comfortable with disclosing to family and friends? Are you needing guidance about self-esteem, productivity, or life purpose? Are you experiencing feelings or emotions that you are unsure of what they could mean? I can talk to you about them and provide education and tools. Have you experienced a traumatic event or a personal loss that you have not recovered from? You need clarity and support to move forward. Are you a parent looking for assistance or guidance for your child? I can help you with any of these issues.

I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, growing pains, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse, and addiction. I enjoy helping people achieve wellness, mentally and physically. Whether it be clinical or a specific personal attribute, I enjoy assisting others. I have internship, work, and research experience with at-risk teens and adults. Meeting people where they are mentally, emotionally, or spiritually is a matter that I take pride in.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and person-centered. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and systems focused. I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I meet you where you are, literally!

I am looking forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Syrenia 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.

So far I am pleased with my counselor. She has been very astute, supportive, knowledgeable about her trade and is someone I feel comfortable with. I appreciate her professionalism. It is pristine with such approachability and warmth.
