Christian Counseling Los Angeles
You love God, you lead well, and you get things done, but behind the prayers and polished strength, you’re soul-tired
This isn’t just stress, it’s survival mode. And you weren’t created to live that way.
You’re craving rest that feels safe, healing without the pressure to perform, and peace that doesn’t have to be earned.
You’re in the right place if:
You lead the meetings, mentor at church, and carry the emotional weight of your family, but no one sees how isolated you feel inside.
You’ve confused obedience with over-functioning for so long that slowing down now feels like rebellion.
You know how to pour into others, but you’re terrified to admit you’ve been spiritually dry for months.
You’re admired for your resilience, but no one asks what it’s costing you to be “the strong one.”
You’ve built a life that looks successful on paper, but you don’t feel free, and you’re not sure when you stopped feeling like yourself.

You’re not the problem. You’ve just been surviving in a system that taught you to
abandon yourself
But this isn’t a failure of gratitude or discipline.
It’s the weight of unrealistic expectations, silent burnout, and spiritual guilt that told you self-sacrifice was strength.
You’re here because something in you knows this isn’t how the story has to end.
What if you could…
- Finally feel safe enough to let someone hold space for you?
- Confidently set boundaries and honor your own needs without guilt or explanations?
- Name your truth and know God still honors you in it?
- Remember that your value was never up for debate?
- Live in alignment with a version that feels true, rooted, and whole?


That’s exactly what my individual Christian and
faith-centered therapy is designed to do
Help you release the pressure to perform, reconnect with your voice, and reclaim a version of faith, rest, and emotional wellness that honors your full humanity, not just your responsibilities.
Here’s what’s included:
01
Clarify what’s no longer working
We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, the weight you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping will feel different. We start by exploring the patterns, roles, and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck in over-functioning, burnout, and emotional disconnection, especially those shaped by faith, culture, and performance.
02
Reclaim your voice and emotional truth
Together, we’ll begin to untangle the internalized narratives that say you have to be strong, silent, or selfless to be worthy. This is where you’ll practice honoring your needs, setting sacred boundaries, and telling yourself the truth, without shame.
03
Redefine your life from the inside out
As healing unfolds, we’ll build a more honest, faith-affirming relationship with yourself and your emotional world. You’ll walk away with tools to support your growth, rhythms that restore you, and a renewed sense of spiritual and emotional alignment.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson
I specialize in helping high-achieving Black Christian women break free from burnout, perfectionism, and emotional isolation—so they can feel whole, grounded, and deeply connected to themselves and their faith.
I’ve spent over a decade walking alongside women who look like they have it all together on the outside, but who are quietly struggling with exhaustion, spiritual disconnection, and the pressure to be everything for everyone.
Here’s why I’m passionate about this work:
Because I’ve lived it. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of being “the strong one,” to question your faith in silence, and to wonder if needing help means you’re doing something wrong.
It doesn’t. And I’m here to help you reclaim a version of healing, rest, and identity that honors your full humanity and your divine design.
I know the cost of silence, of self-neglect, of shrinking to stay safe. And I also know the freedom that comes when you finally choose you.
You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of burnout, spiritual pressure, and
emotional silence on your own
Let’s work together to help you feel grounded, supported, and aligned with the woman God designed you to be, rested, whole, and deeply free.

Frequently asked questions
What is Christian counseling and how is it different from regular therapy?
Christian counseling is a therapeutic approach that integrates the best of psychological insights with biblical wisdom . It provides a safe, compassionate space to explore your emotional, relational, and mental health challenges–without separating your healing from your faith. Unlike traditional therapy, Christian counseling weaves in spiritual reflection , scripture , and prayer as tools for restoration. But it’s not about preaching or fixing your faith.t’s about honoring your relationship with God as a source of strength while navigating real-life struggles with grace, courage, and truth. If you’ve ever felt like therapy alone doesn’t speak to your spiritual life—or like your faith community didn’t know how to hold your emotional pain—this space is for you.
Here, your faith is not questioned. Your story is not shamed. And your healing is not separate from your purpose
Is it okay if I’m questioning my faith?
Yes. This is a safe space to bring your doubts, your wrestlings, and your honest questions.
Many women I work with are reexamining the version of faith they were taught—one that praised silence, sacrifice, and burnout as signs of devotion.
Christian therapy doesn’t shame you for asking hard questions. It creates space to explore what no longer serves you and reconnect with a God who honors your humanity, not just your hustle.
You don’t have to abandon your faith to reclaim yourself.
And you don’t have to abandon yourself to be faithful.
What does the Bible say about Christian counseling?
Scripture affirms the value of wise counsel, emotional honesty, and seeking support. From David’s raw laments to Jesus in Gethsemane, Scripture shows us that faith and feeling can coexist.
Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Support isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
If you’ve ever been told to just “pray it away,” or that faith means pushing through, you’re not alone. But strength was never meant to come at the cost of your wholeness.
Christian counseling creates space for both your relationship with God and your lived reality. It’s not a betrayal of belief—it’s an act of faith to name your pain and seek healing.
How does virtual Christian therapy work?
All sessions are held virtually using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link before each session—just click and join from wherever you feel most comfortable. Virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person care and gives you the freedom to show up exactly as you are.
What technology do I need?
You’ll need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone (like a smartphone, tablet, or computer). Headphones are helpful for privacy but not required.
Do you accept insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Please note:
To use insurance, a formal mental health diagnosis is required—and it becomes part of your medical record. Insurance also relies on “medical necessity,” meaning once you no longer meet the criteria for that diagnosis, coverage may end and our work could be cut short.
If you’re looking for flexible, personalized, and non-diagnostic care that puts you at the center—not a billing system—paying privately may be the best fit.
What if I need to cancel a session?
I understand that life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made within 24 hours will be charged the full session fee.

This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of services that are reasonably expected for the expected services to address your mental health care needs. The estimate is based on the information known to us when we did the estimate.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.

You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
