Breana Johnson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Breana!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly seven years of experience in social services and mental health. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families using a trauma-informed, holistic, and dynamic approach tailored to each individual’s needs.

My focus

I support children, teens, and young adults facing anxiety, life transitions, trauma, adoption-related challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Together, we’ll build healing, resilience, and meaningful, positive change.

My approach

I use evidence-based techniques to help deepen insight, build self-awareness, and support you in moving toward a fuller, more balanced life. I offer a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.

My communication style

I offer a safe, supportive space grounded in empathy, where you can openly explore your concerns. I prioritize honest communication and active listening to ensure you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep desire to support others through life’s challenges. My work in the child welfare and social service systems has shown me the remarkable resilience people carry. I believe that healing and growth is possible for everyone, and that with the right support and tools, individuals can strengthen their resilience.

My goals for you

I recognize that each individual and family faces unique challenges, and I tailor therapy to your specific needs. Therapy is a journey of growth, healing, and positive change. Together, we’ll create goals that evolve with you as your needs shift over time.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll explore how therapy can support your growth and overall well-being. This time is for us to get to know each other and to make sure you feel comfortable and that we’re a good fit. I’ll learn more about what you’re hoping to gain from therapy, and together we’ll begin shaping realistic, meaningful goals to guide our work.
