Meet Your Christian Therapist in Los Angeles

You lead. You serve. You hold it all together with grace. But behind the calm, you’re exhausted, and done pretending you’re not

The devotionals, the journaling, the boundaries, they help, but they haven’t reached the exhaustion in your soul. You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You’re just done surviving.


And you deserve a space that honors both your strength and your softness. This is where you come home to yourself, and I’m here to walk with you.

I’ve been there. I used to wear strength like armor—quiet, capable, always dependable

I thought rest was indulgent, boundaries were selfish, and my needs could wait. I thought being exhausted just came with the territory. 


But what I didn’t know was this: I wasn’t just burned out. I was disconnected from myself. And that disconnection was costing me my joy, my clarity, and my peace. 


Here’s what changed: I stopped trying to fix myself and started listening to myself. I questioned the roles, the rules, and the stories I’d been handed. And I gave myself permission to choose differently. Now I help other high-achieving women do the same.

You’ve been taught that pushing through is just part of being faithful, strong, and dependable. But it’s not strength if it’s costing you your peace

Maybe you’ve internalized the belief that rest has to be earned. That boundaries are unkind. That softness makes you less worthy in rooms where you’re already working twice as hard to be taken seriously.

If you’re like many of the women I work with, you’ve prayed harder, worked longer, and tried to out-hustle the burnout, only to find yourself feeling resentful, disconnected, and quietly unraveling.

Faith taught you to endure. The world taught you to perform. But neither gave you permission to rest, to feel, or to be, without guilt.

And you can choose a different way, one where wholeness, rest, and emotional freedom aren’t things you have to earn, but truths you get to live.

Here’s what I believe:

Every strong woman deserves a safe space to lay her burdens down, without guilt, without shame, and without having to explain herself.


It’s possible to feel grounded, emotionally free, and fully aligned with who you are, when you have the right support, language, and space to return to yourself.

My purpose is to help you break free from the roles and narratives that no longer serve you, so you can lead, love, and live from a place of wholeness—not performance

  • You don’t have to keep living in survival mode.


  • You don’t have to choose between your strength and your softness.


  • You just need a new way forward—and someone to walk with you as you take the first step.

I’m Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson

A licensed psychologist, narrative shifter, and safe space creator for high-achieving women who are tired of carrying it all alone.

With over a decade of clinical experience, a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, and a deep commitment to the emotional wellness of Black women and women of color, I help ambitious, faithful, overextended women finally breathe again.


My approach is soul-centered, faith-integrated, and grounded in both psychological theory and lived experience. I don't hand out quick fixes or mindset clichés. I help you untangle the beliefs that keep you stuck in over-functioning, emotional isolation, and self-abandonment—so you can start leading, living, and loving from a place of truth.



Clients come to me exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure how to keep holding it all together.


They leave feeling emotionally lighter, spiritually grounded, and more connected to their needs, their voice, and their worth. If you're ready to stop surviving and start coming home to yourself, you're in the right place.

I used to believe that being a strong Black woman meant being endlessly available, constantly composed, and always productive

I thought rest was a reward you had to earn. That asking for help meant you weren’t ready, weren’t faithful enough, or just weren’t built for the life you were leading. I said yes to everyone else while silently abandoning myself.

Here’s what I learned: Self-sacrifice isn’t the same as purpose. And burnout isn’t a badge of honor

I’ve tried proving my worth through performance, spiritualizing my exhaustion, and pushing through the warning signs my body and spirit were screaming at me to hear. But none of it brought peace,only pressure.


What did bring peace? Telling the truth. Setting boundaries. Learning that softness and leadership are not opposites—they are sacred partners.


Now I help other high-achieving women do the same.

Since starting my practice, I’ve helped hundreds of high-achieving Black women and women of color reclaim their voice, set sacred boundaries, and lead lives rooted in wholeness, not performance

My clients walk away with more than insight, they walk away with language for their truth, space for their emotions, and the tools to show up fully in their lives, careers, and relationships.


And when I’m not holding space for this powerful work, you’ll probably find me deep in a romance book, at a local farmer’s market, or trying to figure out if I should be in these YouTube streets! I’m equal parts introspective and witty, soulful and strategic—and I believe healing doesn’t have to always be heavy to be deep. My clients and I have a time!

You don’t have to keep holding it all together in silence

Let’s work together to help you feel grounded, supported, and deeply seen—so you can stop surviving and start living from a place of clarity, wholeness, and truth.
