Jasmine Johnson

Jasmine wants to get to know you beyond what brought you to therapy: what matters to you, what’s been hard, and what’s helping you get through it. You can tell her the messy version, the “I know this sounds petty, but…” version, or the part you’re embarrassed still hurts. She’ll listen, ask questions, and help you sort through it. You can share a laugh when something is funny and take your time when it’s hard.

She brings curiosity, care, and honest feedback, along with practical tools to try between sessions. Together you’ll work on the moments that matter outside of therapy: sending that text, having the conversation, or saying what you need without explaining yourself into exhaustion. You’ll try things, talk about how they went, and adjust together.

Depending on what feels useful for you, Jasmine draws from three approaches. Person-Centered Therapy means your experiences and priorities guide the work, and you can say so when something doesn’t fit. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you make room for hard thoughts and feelings, like anxious spirals or harsh self-talk, without letting them run the show, and move toward what matters to you. Strengths-Based Therapy means noticing what’s already helping, building on what you do well, and finding manageable steps toward the changes you want. Throughout, she acknowledges the real circumstances affecting you, including discrimination and invalidation, and trauma-informed care means your comfort and choices matter, with room to pause and share at your own pace.

As a Black queer woman, Jasmine cares about creating a space where BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients feel respected and comfortable being themselves. You can talk about racism, sexuality, gender, family expectations, or the exhaustion of feeling misunderstood. She’ll listen without minimizing what happened or expecting you to defend why it matters, and you can correct her, tell her something doesn’t feel right, and ask for what you need.
