About
Hi, I’m Johnnie Marie Berry, LCSW, MDiv.
I take a comprehensive, holistic approach to therapy, honoring how your emotions, thoughts, relationships, and spirituality intersect. My lifelong passion for advocating for others drives how I hold space for you: with empathy, respect, and practical support.
Together, we will examine your unique strengths and goals, using evidence-based tools such as EMDR, Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring. Whether you are working through past wounds or navigating current roadblocks, I am here to help you heal, build resilience, and move toward meaningful growth.
My passion for supporting neurodivergent and autistic adults comes from a lifelong calling to stand alongside those who move through the world differently. Even as early as middle school, I found myself advocating for peers whose voices and perspectives were misunderstood or overlooked. Over time, that instinct grew into a deep respect for neurodiversity and a desire to create spaces where you never have to mask or fit into someone else’s mold. I chose this path because I believe your differences are not deficits to be corrected, but unique ways of being that deserve celebration, genuine understanding, and dedicated support.
My approach is rooted in deep affirmation and the belief that you already possess valuable internal resources. Rather than viewing your life through a lens of deficits or obstacles, we begin by recognizing the strengths, creativity, and coping skills you have developed along the way. I partner with you to amplify those natural talents, using evidence-based tools that adapt to how your mind works best. By celebrating your authentic self and building from your existing foundation, we turn your natural abilities into powerful avenues for healing and lasting fulfillment
