I'm Rayla Johnson, a Resident working toward my Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensure with 2 years of clinical experience. I specialize in supporting adolescents as they navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I bring a fun and energetic approach to treatment, incorporating tools like toys, movement, journaling, games, and role-playing to make sessions engaging and effective. When appropriate, I also work closely with parents and guardians in setting goals and creating a supportive environment that fosters understanding, peace, and relief.

I earned my Master's degree from Cambridge College and use a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, affirmations, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and play therapy. Building a trusting connection is my first priority with clients—it's the foundation for successful progress and growth.

I believe there’s always a way forward, no matter the obstacles. In a safe, judgment-free space, I encourage clients to tackle challenges and embrace their best selves. If you’re ready to start the journey, reach out today!
