About me

Hello,

I am a Licensed Professional counselor located in Tennessee with over 8 years of experience. My main areas of focus are in addiction, families, couples, and women’s issues. As a therapist, my primary goal is to educate families and to promote change and growth through internal healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, familial issues, addiction issues, career challenges, and multi-cultural concerns. I am also a trauma informed counselor.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psycho-educational and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. In therapy, I utilize experiential techniques to engage clients, in an effort to assist them in reaching the level of change they desire.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shayla Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Shayla is beyond amazing! She has helped my husband and I better communicate. She has also helped us realize things about not only each other but ourselves! She is kind and friendly. We absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking guidance. She is incredibly insightful, professional, and intelligent. We absolutely love Shayla!

My husband and I were very nervous about starting counseling, but Shayla immediately eased our nerves. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. After just one session we already feel like a weight has been lifted off our chests. We’re very thankful to have the opportunity to work with her.
