About Kianni Johnson

I am a Licensed Therapist with Diagnostic Privilege Certification in New York, bringing six years of clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional challenges. I am also a Certified Anger Management Specialist, and a Registered Behavior Technician. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, mood concerns, anger, relationship dynamics, and the nuanced patterns that shape human behavior.

I am especially committed to empowering diverse individuals and honoring intersectional experiences. I understand that identity, culture, and lived experience deeply influence how we move through the world — and I create a space where those layers are welcomed, respected, and explored with care.

My philosophy is rooted in sustainability. Therapy is not about curing or fixing — it is about equipping individuals with tools to manage life’s challenges effectively, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change over time.
