Hi, I'm Vanity Johnson, LCSW. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who believes everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard, understood, and supported.
I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, family challenges, school-related concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences.
My background as a school social worker has given me extensive experience supporting young people and families navigating complex circumstances, including foster care, housing instability, pregnancy and parenting during adolescence, family challenges, and other life stressors.
I have a particular passion for supporting youth and young adults who have experienced trauma, exploitation, trafficking, or other adverse experiences.
I Can Help With
• Anxiety and stress • Self-esteem and confidence • Emotional regulation • School-related concerns • Family challenges • Relationships and boundaries • Life transitions • Trauma and difficult experiences • Foster care-related challenges • Youth and young adults affected by exploitation or trafficking • Parenting and family concerns
What I Want You to Know
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
You don't have to know exactly what to say.
And you don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone.
We'll start where you are and work from there.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.

With over 27 years of experience in education and a passion for helping others through counseling, I understand the unique challenges faced by educators, adults navigating life changes, parents supporting their families, and teens finding their way.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, navigating a major life transition, supporting a struggling teen, or experiencing burnout from years of caring for others, counseling can provide the support and guidance you need to move forward with confidence.

I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that combines evidence-based therapy with a genuine, collaborative relationship.
I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and family conflict. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and process difficult life experiences that continue to impact the present.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent 19 years working in public education, helping children, teens, and families navigate emotional challenges, strengthen communication, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach by meeting clients where they are and focusing on their unique strengths.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?
I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.
What should someone know about working with you?
I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.
How do you continue learning and building new skills?
I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.
"Success for me, is helping others create the wellness they desire."

I’m David Head, LPC—an existential psychotherapist with more than a decade helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and interpersonal struggles, motivation blocks, compulsivity, and the deeper exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected from your own life.
I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at Sam Houston State University, where my research focuses on identity, emotional dissonance, and the inner experience of helping professionals. My path has taken me through community mental health, residential treatment with children and families, school-based programs, and extensive telehealth work. I’ve seen how personal pain often intersects with bigger systems—work, family, culture—and I bring that grounded perspective without ever losing sight of you as the author of your story.
What matters most to me: You already have the capacity to choose, to take responsibility for your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and to build a life that feels more aligned. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk alongside you with curiosity, straight talk, and respect for your autonomy so you can develop the self-awareness, confidence, and tools to navigate whatever comes next—on your terms

I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!
