Shannon Johnson, Counselor in Florida
Hello! I am Shannon Johnson. I am a retired Navy veteran of 25 years. There is great value in caring for one’s mental health and God has used counselors to create change in my life. I want that for you! It is an amazing honor to be called to the care of people who are struggling with life stresses, broken relationships, grief, and other mental health challenges.
My passion is helping couples heal relationships, individuals thrive in the Christian faith, and all believers discern God’s purpose for their lives. Although most of my clients come from a Christian faith background, I welcome all individuals from every walk of life. If you prefer to receive therapeutic services without spiritual or religious counseling, I would be more than honored to work with you as well. Healing is for everyone.
There is no greater privilege than to walk with people as they pursue spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental health. I specialize in premarital counseling, marriage counseling, parent coaching, and family therapy. I have seen:
Husbands find freedom from shame, guilt, and destructive, compulsive behaviors that previously traumatized their families
Broken marriages made whole as couples communicate about their relational wounds and cultivate forgiveness
Identities restored following divorce from emotionally destructive relationships.
Children struggling with behavior disorders begin to thrive and others heal from the effects of trauma they had suffered
If you are struggling in your marriage, looking for premarital counseling, find yourself unable to break free from problem behaviors, or need healing from trauma, I would cherish the opportunity to walk with you in your healing process. I believe people are unique and require individualized treatment that caters to their distinctive combination of needs. Therefore, I partner with my clients to identify their goals and help them discover healing from within. I invite you to contact me to discuss how I may be able to help you. I believe there is hope and healing in your future!
