Individually-Focused
Sessions

I prefer to meet with the client alone, initially. If the client would like to include a family member, caregiver, or a friend in a future session, this is acceptable and at the client’s discretion.

Assisting
Caregivers

According to Family Caregiver Alliance, about 40 million caregivers provide care to adults age 18 and older.* Caregivers frequently neglect their own physical and mental health as they assist with family and friends.

About Me

My name is Shanta Johnson. I was born and raised in eastern NC by my mother. My parents divorced when I was young, but that was never used to define our lives. My mother empowered me to be who I am today in my roles as a wife, mother, and therapist.

I want to empower others that their circumstances do not define them. For years I have provided therapy to older adults and caregivers and will continue to do so.

However, I now want to offer immigration evaluations and counseling to mothers during and after pregnancy.

Why My Career Choice?

My grandparents were influential in my decision. I witnessed the support they received and wondered about the lack of support for others. For over 10 years, I have worked with patients with chronic illnesses. The stress experienced by patients, family, and caregivers when managing health and/or mental health issues can be overwhelming.

Reflective Counseling Services, PLLC was started to provide the listening ear that is needed. My desire is to focus on working with adults coping with depression, anxiety, caregiver burnout, and trauma so that they can live their best life. I work to challenge misconceptions about counseling and make it a common practice.
