I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with the impact of religious trauma, rigid family roles, and identity confusion. Many of my clients feel lost, as if they do not quite fit in, or have trouble appreciating their unique talents. Negative self-talk, compounded by comparison to others, can distort self-worth and leave individuals feeling disconnected from who they truly are.
In our work together, we will explore the origins of these false narratives—whether from family, culture, or religious systems—and gently process them. I believe in the power of self-compassion: instead of scolding ourselves for old behaviors.

His training comes from a Christian influenced perspective, though individual clients get to choose how, and if, they want to integrate spirituality of any kind into their therapy.
You are a complex and nuanced human, designed for wholeness, beauty and truth. However, few of us experience this freedom. Suffering in the world is real and you have your own story and experience with it. You have questions, fears, and anxieties about today and tomorrow. You have grief, shame, pain, and loss from your past. Your pain is real, your losses hurt, even when they don’t make sense. And, if you’re like the majority of people, you likely have nobody who knows your pain or will walk through the depths of it with you. We want to hold your burden and suffering with you as you look into your life and its brokenness.

Some of us have found ourselves in this stage of life where things just seem so difficult to handle, especially when we have to handle them alone. Overwhelmed by the weight of depression, stress, anxiety, loneliness, and past traumas, it’s during these times we need the support of those around us the most. But there’s two sides to this reality: we can’t always do it on our own, yet, if we don’t have the support, we have no choice but to do it alone. If this hits home for you, now you don’t have to! My name is Niko Dantzler-Johnson, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am here to take this journey towards healing with you.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
