As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a warm, supportive space where children, adolescents, and their families feel heard and empowered. I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and have experience providing therapy in school, community mental health, foster care, and telehealth settings. I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral and academic concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, and peer relationship challenges.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through creative telehealth sessions using interactive activities, screen sharing, and games, I help children build coping skills, confidence, and resilience in an engaging way. I also partner closely with parents and caregivers to support lasting progress at home and at school while fostering a trusting environment where children feel safe expressing themselves within the boundaries of confidentiality.
I am Dr. Heather Johnson, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-C, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals achieve mental wellness, emotional balance, and sustainable recovery.
I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University. I’ve been at Wekiva Springs Center since 2022, and have experience with patients all over the spectrum from mood disorders, to substance abuse disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.
Welcome! My name is Emily, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, following my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. I have experience working with individuals throughout the lifespan and I believe therapy is most effective when it feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded in trust.
My professional experience is with young adults who struggle with life changes/transitions. Also, young adults who struggle with coping and stress. Individuals who are looking for a safe space to be heard and supported without judgement.
