Are you feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or like you’re barely holding it all together?
You might be a driven professional facing burnout, a parent navigating anxiety or postpartum challenges, or someone quietly grieving while life keeps moving. Maybe you're stuck in relationship conflict, co-parenting stress, or healing from a toxic dynamic.
​
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to do it alone.
​
I help individuals, couples, and families move through anxiety, depression, grief, identity struggles, and relationship challenges with compassion, clarity, and care. My approach is warm, direct, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.
​
If you’re ready to stop just surviving and start reconnecting with who you truly are, I’m here to walk with you.
Kamaria Bluntson, LACMH, NCC
“I’m overwhelmed but don’t know how to slow down.”
“I overthink everything and still feel like I’m doing it wrong.”
“I know something needs to change... but where do I even start?”
​
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
​
I work with adolescents and adults who feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-doubt, or unsure of who they are. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, life transitions, low self-worth, or identity struggles, often within cultural, spiritual, or relational dynamics.
​
My style is warm, collaborative, and direct, and I offer an affirming space for people from all backgrounds, especially BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients. I use evidence-based practices like ACT, DBT, and solution-focused strategies to help you set boundaries, manage emotions, and move forward with clarity and intention.
Together, we’ll focus on progress — not perfection — and help you reconnect with what matters most.

Shonda Johnson, MS - Pre-Licensed Professional
“I’m so anxious.”
“I can’t do this.”
“I’m tired of feeling this way.”
​
If these thoughts sound familiar, Shonda Johnson understands—and she’s here to help. Shonda works with adolescents through seniors who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the pressures of daily life. From school and work stress to major life transitions, her clients often come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted.

​
Shonda blends warmth with structure by using evidence-based strategies tailored to each client’s needs. These proven approaches help clients better understand their thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier coping skills, and create lasting change.
​
Her goal is to help you feel empowered, discover your “why,” and reconnect with a sense of peace. Through collaborative, personalized care, she supports you in setting meaningful goals—and motivates you to move forward with confidence and clarity.
​
You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. Shonda is here to help you find your way back to yourself.

Stacy C. Yates, M.Ed. - Pre-Licensed Professional
“I’m the strong one for everyone else… but I’m starting to fall apart inside.”
​
“I don’t even recognize myself anymore — I’m just going through the motions.”
​
“I’ve been trying to manage everything on my own, but it’s getting too heavy.”
You show up for everyone else — but inside, you’re overwhelmed and running on empty.
​
I help individuals, couples, and teens navigate anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the emotional toll of trying to hold it all together. Whether you’re juggling parenting, relationships, or past pain, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can breathe, be real, and start healing.
​
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and culturally responsive. Together, we’ll work toward relief, balance, and a stronger sense of self.
