Compassionate, Culturally Responsive Counselling for High Achieving Women Navigating Stress, Anxiety and Self-Doubt 

​​​​​​​

Nada Johnson, MSW, RSW supports women who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem,  stress, trauma, and difficult life transitions.

​

She has particular experience supporting high-achieving Black and racialized women who are balancing professional demands, cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and significant responsibilities—while quietly carrying emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, and chronic stress.

​

Many of the women Nada provides counselling to are capable, responsible, and deeply resilient, yet feel overwhelmed by the pressure of always having to hold everything together for everyone else.

​

A Space Where You Don’t Have to Explain Yourself: 

​​

For nearly a decade, Nada has supported women experiencing:

​​​

• Burnout and emotional overwhelm

• Anxiety and chronic overthinking

• Racialized stress and workplace inequities

• Family conflict and cultural pressures

• Major life transitions

• The lasting impact of trauma

​

She offers a warm, culturally responsive space where clients can slow down, process their experiences, and reconnect with themselves—without feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or pressured to minimize what they’ve been carrying.

​
