At the intersection of pain and
possibility, healing begins.
Individual and Couples Therapy for California and Texas Residents
Not your average therapist:
Dr. Shemena Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles who helps adults and couples navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
AS SEEEN IN:
With degrees in clinical psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, and Antioch University, she deepened her training at the Psychoanalytic Center of California and later earned her doctorate in marriage and family counseling from Ryokan College, where her dissertation explored race-based traumatic stress in African Americans. Her diverse professional experiences, combined with her identity as a Black woman, shape her belief that healing must honor both the individual soul and the cultural context that surrounds it.
Dr. Johnson has worked with people across cultures, lifestyles, and life stages, and she finds deep purpose in helping others move through life’s obstacles with courage and clarity. She approaches therapy as both science and soul work—where awareness, connection, and possibility can emerge from even the most difficult pain.
You believe that healing is not just about easing pain, but about rediscovering your self, meaning, and soul.
Find your voice and discover that pain is not the ending, but the doorway to growth.
