About

Hi, I'm Danneita Johnson, LCPC
And I provide EMDR Therapy in Chicago
I help children and adults who’ve experienced trauma find a way through it using EMDR as a therapeutic intervention. Through compassion and practicing presence, I provide a space where you can be yourself without judgment.
Together, we'll explore the best way to get to a place where you can live without the hurt haunting you.
If You Feel Lost, I Hear You, And You Are Not Alone
Recovering from trauma is difficult and doesn't magically happen just because we want it. You've made it this far and that says something wonderful about you.
Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed right now with all that's going on. You may be feeling:
- overwhelmed by memories from the past
- alone and disconnected
- not sure if you'll ever be happy again
- like you have tried everything
If distressing thoughts and images are affecting your ability to live your life, then it may be time to get counseling.
It’s Possible To Feel Better
As your therapist, I will collaborate with you on the best way forward.
I've found most people I've worked with over the years have experienced some form of trauma. And for a great number of them, the trauma occurred during childhood. Many people don't believe they can heal from their trauma but I'm here to tell you that is not true. Healing is not only possible but probable when you have the right help.
There Are Many Benefits To Counseling
Counseling can successfully help you find healthier ways to cope with what happened. It can help you:
- make room for more joy and laughter
- relax and open up more
- feel more connected
- look forward to the future
These are a few of the ways Therapy can help.
