About Deanna Brown-Johnson

Deanna Brown-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who understands that reaching out for counseling can feel intimidating.

Her counseling style emphasizes guidance, support, and collaboration, with the goal of helping clients feel healthier, more empowered, and better able to build peace and resiliency over time.

She has worked in the helping field since 1993, beginning with a BSW and a minor in gerontology. She earned her master’s degree in 2013 and became licensed in 2014. Her background includes work with the IDD population and ADHD testing, and much of her professional experience has centered on substance abuse and mental health. She especially values helping families navigate challenges and strengthen their ability to cope and communicate.

Deanna offers flexible scheduling and provides phone sessions and e-counseling, as insurance allows. She welcomes people who are ready to take a step toward caring for themselves and invites clients to reach out when they are ready for support.
