Healing Begins at the Root.
About Us
Hi, I am LaCrisha Johnson, the founder of Affirming Roots Therapy, LLC—a space created with the intention of honoring your story, your identity, and your healing.
I am a proud graduate of Tennessee State University, where I earned both my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently continuing my education at Meharry Medical College, where I am pursuing a Master’s in Public Health to further my commitment to serving communities through a holistic lens.
Therapy is not just my profession, it is my purpose. I am deeply passionate about mental health and it is my mission to provide culturally competent and affirming care that meets you where you are. My practice centers the needs of individuals who are often marginalized or overlooked, with a special focus on serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and rooted in empowerment. I believe that healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. Whether you are navigating trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, anxiety, or relationship challenges, you deserve care that honors your full experience.
My goal is simple—I want all my clients to graduate me. That means walking away from therapy feeling more grounded, more empowered, and more connected to yourself and those around you.
When you are ready, I am here to walk with you. Let us begin your healing journey from the root.
My therapy style is warm, holistic, and collaborative. I take an eclectic approach, blending techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence based practices tailored to each client’s unique needs.
As a holistic therapist, I also integrate tools such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound therapy when appropriate. I believe healing involves the whole person, including the mind, body, and spirit.
I love seeing clients actively engage in their growth, so I often provide homework and real life exercises to help you apply what we explore in session. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to thrive in your daily life.
