My name is Miranda Johns with Hope in Healing, LLC. I am licensed in mental health counseling and my focus is often cognitive behavioral and solution focused treatment. With that being said, my goal is to meet clients where they are and adapt to what treatment works best for them. I help clients view their past as where they have been but help them understand that they don’t have to stay there. While we can’t change our past, we can always create a new future.

Does it feel like no matter how hard you try you find yourself wondering if things will ever change? You wonder if it’s just you if other people go through this. You might even be really nervous about hitting the contact button because after all only “crazy” people go to therapy. Here’s a little secret all therapists have to go to their own therapy before they can graduate from school. We know what it's like to be on both sides of the screen or room

You’ve carried the weight of trauma—whether it’s the kind that leaves deep scars from horrific experiences or the invisible wounds of growing up in a family shaped by addiction. The pain, the fear, the constant effort to hold it all together—it’s exhausting, and it’s not your fault. You deserve a space where you feel truly seen, where your story is honored without judgment, and where healing feels possible, even when it seems out of reach. I’m here to walk with you through the chaos, to help you find safety within yourself, and to uncover the strength you’ve always had, even when it feels buried.

Overwhelmed During Pregnancy or Postpartum? You're not alone. We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid HMOs. Pregnancy and parenthood are often described as joyful, but they can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unexpectedly hard. You may feel anxious, irritable, disconnected, or unlike yourself, even when everything “looks fine” on the outside. You might be navigating intrusive thoughts, sleep disruption, relationship strain, or a birth experience that did not unfold as you hoped. You may also be grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, fertility challenges, or another loss that feels invisible to others.

Our clients are often the ones holding everything together for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. They come to us navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, grief, or major life transitions, ready to stop just surviving and start healing in a real way. They’re looking for clarity, connection, and a space where they don’t have to perform—just be real.
