My name is Vielka E. Johnson. I received my BA in Psychology in 1996 from the University of Colorado. In 1998, I relocated to San Antonio, TX, and pursued my master's degree in counseling. By 2006, I received my counseling license from the Texas State Board of Examiners, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been fortunate to have worked with such a diverse population within our community. My background primarily is with children and adolescents ages 3 to 18; however, I have worked with young adults and adults up to the ages of 65+. I have worked in variety of settings; including community agencies, schools, and residential facilities. I have worked with therapeutic foster care children, family domestic violence, mental and physical abuse, mobile crisis units, and crisis intervention. I am trained in Trauma Focus CBT. I incorporate different modalities to meet your needs. I am deeply committed to assisting clients with identifying their strengths and weaknesses and learning new skills to achieve their goals and improve their lives. In addition to my experience, I have a background in teaching Bible studies for over 10 years. I incorporate faith-based counseling services when appropriate.
