Carmellita Johnson is a Licensed Master Social Worker based in Nashville, Tennessee, who brings compassion, strength, and leadership to every therapeutic relationship. With a deep commitment to helping individuals and families find clarity and healing, Carmellita works with clients of all ages—from children and teens to young adults, adults, and seniors.

She specializes in a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, family conflict, ADHD, personality disorders, and life transitions. Her clinical approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy, always aiming to validate and empower her clients.

Carmellita’s clients appreciate her empathy, excellent listening skills, and ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. Whether working with individuals navigating crisis or helping families move through conflict, she is dedicated to supporting positive change. As she often says, “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change—I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

With a Master’s degree in Social Work from Middle Tennessee State University, Carmellita currently works in an inpatient mental health hospital, where she supports patients experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and dementia. Her experiences as a woman of color from a low-income background give her a strong foundation for working with clients from diverse cultures and walks of life.

Outside of work, Carmellita enjoys baking sweets, spending time with family, traveling, and making the most out of life with her beloved pets.

She is currently accepting new clients virtually in Tennessee.
