Erin York Johnston, LPC Shreveport therapist

  • Owner, Therapist

    My name is Erin, & I am the owner of Healing Minds. I have been counseling for over 12 years now. I work diligently with you to create and reach your goals. I have a custom style to counseling, and it revolves around the client's needs.

    I enjoy the outdoors, being with friends and family, and exercising. I like to practice what I help my clients with, self-care and enjoying life with others.

    I focus on addiction related disorders and mental health disorders. I have experience with addiction (drug, alcohol, gambling), codependency & enabling. I am certified in SMART recovery, meaning I can use non-12 step principles to help with addiction disorders if you prefer. I understand that many of my clients suffer from trauma, and I am trained to use EMDR as an intervention. I specialize in crisis intervention, as well as domestic violence. I am able to work with clients with other expectations such as: stress reduction, time management, money management, mood disorders, family stress/parenting, and more!

    I love to use creative tools to help a client. I will use resources such as books, worksheets, videos, power points. This helps meet all client's learning styles. Some clients may like to use art while we talk in session. Clients may also need different techniques of counseling, and I am flexible.

    Let’s work on you! I have many ways we can reach your goals. Come talk to a professional who has worked with a diverse group of people for over 12 years. Counseling is fun, counseling is effective, and counseling is unique. Together, we can create goals to match your readiness!

Erin Johnston's chihuahua

  • Administrative Assistant

    The Healing Minds Administrative Assistant greets our clients with a friendly, furry face and wagging tail.

    Winnie may join us in session, so please alert intake if you have any pet allergies prior to your first appointment.

    Animals can often help people who struggle with mental illness. Ask your therapist about emotional support animals and how to obtain a letter. Please note, however, that an emotional support animal differs from a service animal.
