Black and African American Therapists in Dallas, TX

My work involves de-stigmatizing mental health amongst African Americans and POC struggling with addiction, various types of trauma, anxiety, or low self esteem. I also work with individuals looking to explore their sexuality and couples who are looking to add excitement back into their relationship or work through infidelity or dissatisfaction.

My name is Vielka E. Johnson. I received my BA in Psychology in 1996 from the University of Colorado. In 1998, I relocated to San Antonio, TX, and pursued my master's degree in counseling. By 2006, I received my counseling license from the Texas State Board of Examiners, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been fortunate to have worked with such a diverse population within our community. My background primarily is with children and adolescents ages 3 to 18; however, I have worked with young adults and adults up to the ages of 65+.

Are you exhausted? Are you trying to decide between calling me or calling a divorce lawyer? You desperately want things to get better, but it seems like no matter what you do relief seems impossible because the goal posts keep moving. Not only do I hear you, but as a nineteen year husband, I know the ups, downs, and hopelessly dark places marriage can leave us in. I've never met anyone who wants a divorce. What they want is for life to get easier and the pain to stop.

As a professional counselor, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals across diverse communities. With over 30 years of experience, I have served as an executive, helping people to achieve their best. I bring a unique blend of empathy and understanding to my counseling approach, ensuring that each person feels heard and valued. My passion lies in helping people not just find peace but also in guiding them toward achieving success in three dimensions: mind, body, and soul. I believe that each dimension is interconnected, and by addressing each, individuals can experience profound transformation, even in the face of chaos.

My ideal client would be someone who is ready to be their best self and not afraid to work towards that goal.

I help those who are looking to add balance back into their lives. Whether you're struggling with childhood trauma, or just needing to manage daily stressors, I can help you to work through these issues.

My ideal client includes someone who is goal oriented but needs help putting the pieces together. I prefer someone who is self motivated, and not being forced to come to therapy, be it adolescent or young adult. I prefer someone who may be self discovering, stepping into a new aspect of their life, or started the healing process from past trauma. I'm an equal opportunist, so if you need me, I want to be there for you.

Hi there, I'm Tonya. Do you feel like you need someone to talk to but feel like no one understands you? Carl Rogers said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. I am committed to creating a space where the client feels seen and heard. Do you feel overwhelmed and mentally depleted? Our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are guided by our internal compass. Sometimes we need to check our compass and make sure we are going in the right direction. This internal compass is the lens through which we see ourselves, and the world and influences our decisions.

Do you often have anxious thoughts, low motivation, pressure to please others, and struggling to initiate tasks or meet deadlines? Perhaps you find yourself preoccupied with thoughts about how others perceive you or whether you're achieving enough in your work and personal life. It can be exhausting to constantly second-guess yourself, forgetting important details, and feeling like you're falling short compared to others. You're not alone. These are common challenges adults with ADHD face—trying to meet expectations or feeling overwhelmed because it all seems too much to handle. I can help.

My passion for counseling was rooted in my experience with at risk youth from my childhood to my career in education. I saw the importance of being seen and heard and addressing the individual's needs to attain success versus expecting rote societal compliance. Transitioning to being a therapist from a school based educator was a direct response to understanding that we must first address our lived experience and individual needs to see how that informs our present circumstances and future goals; so that we can achieve our goals while also having autonomy regarding the pathway we choose to get there.

My mission is to help all my clients make quality improvements in their lives. I have years of experience in individual, family, couple, and group counseling. I integrate several forms of psychotherapy approaches such as Internal Family System, BrainSpotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TB-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more, to tailor treatment to my clients' individual needs. My intervention styles and commitment to my clients' total wellness help them achieve the successful resolution of their underlying issues and traumatic reactions.
