Vielka Johnson brings two decades of clinical experience to her work with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. She earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1996, moved to San Antonio, Texas in 1998 to continue her graduate studies in counseling, and became a licensed practitioner in Texas in 2006.

Her background includes extensive work with children and adolescents ages 3 to 18, while also serving young adults and people up to their mid-60s. Vielka's clinical experience spans community agencies, school settings, and residential facilities, and she has worked directly with therapeutic foster care youth, families affected by domestic violence, survivors of mental and physical abuse, mobile crisis units, and crisis intervention teams. She has specific training in Trauma-Focused CBT and integrates multiple modalities to tailor care to each person's needs.

Vielka focuses on helping clients identify strengths, learn practical skills, and pursue meaningful goals to improve day-to-day functioning and relationships. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life transitions. She accepts clients in Texas and international clients and works collaboratively to support healing and growth.
