Solace Empowerment Services - Meet the Therapist

I'm Tamara Johnson, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of
experience in behavioral health — and a woman who understands firsthand
what it means to navigate life's pressures while carrying the weight of your community, your history, and your own expectations.

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship strain. I bring a full toolkit to every session: EMDR for trauma, DBT for emotional regulation, Gottman Method for couples, ACT for living in alignment with your values, and CBT for breaking patterns that keep you stuck.

My style is direct, warm, and always grounded in your actual life — not a textbook version of it. I currently accept Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, and Carelon — so getting started doesn't have to be a financial barrier.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
