About

Hello!
Welcome to my page!
My name is Kalimah Johnson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan and Illinois.

I have been practicing for 20 years and I focus on treating and working with people who have experienced trauma in any context. Specifically, women who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse/assault, natural disasters, loss of any kind and/or who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19.

I am a good listener and empathetic provider. Individuals who want to develop a sense of purpose and are willing to take full control of their lives and decision making would fair well with my brief but impactful interventions.

We will concentrate on empowerment and getting to the "root" of the issues at hand in order to positively change behavior using Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma-Informed, Empowerment based techniques and strategies.

I help clients by allowing them a safe space to explore their emotions and feelings, by being nonjudgmental and providing feedback that is gentle, honest and engaging. I believe in the resiliency of every human being and that ultimately happiness and integration of traumatic experiences is a birth-right.

I specialize in surviving trauma, specifically. If you are searching for a therapist with years of professional experience, that understands specific cultural nuances in the African-American community and who will be your advocate- while also holding you accountable for your own healing and work-then I may be the one for you.

Let's start with the support and expertise you need...I look forward to it!
