Jeanne Johnson, LCPC
OWNER & FOUNDER, SUPERVISOR
I am the Owner and Founder of Healing HMS (Hearts, Minds, & Souls). As a faith-based, down-to-earth New Orleans native and Hurricane Katrina survivor, I bring resilience, authenticity, and purpose into my work—and I believe this profession chose me.
I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for over 12 years and a Maryland State–Certified Clinical Supervisor for more than 8 years. In this role, I lead, train, and support a diverse clinical team, with each member bringing unique strengths and specialties that enhance the care we provide to our clients.
I am currently completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD), with an expected completion date of August 2026. Following this, I plan to pursue licensure as a psychologist. This advanced training continues to strengthen my therapeutic approach, leadership, and supervisory skills, allowing me to further expand and elevate the quality of services offered at Healing HMS, LLC. It will also enable me to introduce comprehensive clinical assessment services, enhancing the depth and effectiveness of care provided to our clients.

LEAD THERAPIST I
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland . I am a spirit-filled, culturally sensitive mental health professional committed to serving a broad spectrum of individuals, families, couples, and groups of all ages, religious affiliations, education levels, and sexual/gender identities. I use various therapeutic approaches to assist and support those working through childhood trauma, co-dependency, abandonment/attachment issues, church hurt/spiritual character assassination, depression, addictions, communication problems, trauma, and marital problems (heterosexual/same-sex couples).
I also assist with reframing issues, evaluating life options, coaching, and resolving interpersonal conflicts (at work or home) that are stealing your peace and psychological wellness. Let's work together to uncover the stumbling blocks preventing you from reaching your goals, building healthier relationships, and stopping you from having a fulfilled and authentic life.
Ashanti Wheatley, LGPC
LEAD THERAPIST II
I am a faith-based, New Orleans native who earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Alabama. I am the child of parents who are both Veterans, and I have an interest working with the Veteran population. Additionally, I have a background in both psychology and athletics, with personal experience as a former Division 1 college athlete and professional baseball player, which equipped me with valuable skills in teamwork and the needed resilience when faced with the pressures that come with being an athlete. I am equally passionate about helping adults and children work through challenges related to anxiety, depression, abandonment/attachment issues, trauma, religion/spirituality hurts, and navigating complex interpersonal relationships.
My foundation in therapy is Person-Centered, which has a heavy focus on building rapport and fostering a safe environment that will cultivate healthy communication with my clients. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based approaches, Integrative therapy, and Talk Therapy, to tailor my interventions to meet everyone’s unique needs. I find fulfillment in witnessing breakthroughs and empowering my clients to achieve their personal therapeutic goals. My commitment to the philosophy "I am because we are" drives my dedication to not only my personal growth as a clinician but also the growth of those around me. I look forward to working together towards your goals and assisting in enhancing your overall well-being.
Latonya Rose, LCSW-C
LEAD THERAPIST I
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland, and I’m honored to be a part of your healing journey. I have experience working with pre-teens, teens, adults, and couples. My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on identifying and building upon your unique strengths. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and how we can shift patterns that no longer serve you.
I believe that you are the expert of your lived experiences, and my role is to support your healing, self-discovery, and meaning-making as we work collaboratively toward the change you desire. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel supported and empowered. While I offer compassion and understanding, I will gently challenge you when needed—because growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. I look forward to walking alongside you as you move toward a more healed, hopeful version of yourself.

LEAD THERAPIST II
I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) who provides person-centered, strength-based therapy through a multicultural lens. I believe that clients already possess the tools needed for growth and healing, and my role is to support, guide, and empower them as they navigate life’s challenges. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported throughout their healing journey.
I have experience working with the Latinx community and supporting clients navigating anxiety, trauma, familial and interpersonal challenges, and other life stressors. My Hispanic roots are deeply important to me and strongly influence my commitment to serving the Latinx community. My experiences fuel my dedication to creating a therapeutic space where clients can openly express themselves, feel understood, and reduce barriers to accessing mental health care. I earned my graduate degree from Marymount University in 2025 and remain committed to advocating for healing, resilience, and empowerment within the communities I serve.

Zoe Brown, BA
MASTERS LEVEL INTERN
I am a graduate student at Bowie State University pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with an expected graduation date of May 2027. I am excited to join the Healing HMS team as an intern, where I hope to expand my clinical knowledge, strengthen my counseling skills, and continue my professional growth.
My experience includes case management, working with individuals experiencing homelessness, crisis intervention, and providing trauma-informed care to diverse populations navigating vulnerable circumstances. I am particularly interested in deepening my knowledge and clinical experience in trauma therapy so that I can continue supporting individuals on their healing journeys. My own life experiences have shaped my passion for this work, and I truly believe that my pain has become my purpose. This perspective allows me to meet clients with empathy, compassion, and understanding as they navigate their own challenges.
I believe every individual is unique, resilient, and possesses the inner strengths needed for growth and healing. My role as a therapist is to help clients recognize and access those strengths by providing guidance, support, and practical tools along the way. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to be their authentic selves and explore their experiences with openness and confidence.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy traveling, shopping, and spending quality time with my family and loved ones.

MASTERS LEVEL INTERN
I am a master's-level intern pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Counseling, with an expected graduation date of May 2027. I have a genuine passion for learning about the unique experiences that shape who we are. My curiosity about people, combined with a desire to help others, inspired me to pursue a career in therapy. I believe every individual has a story worth understanding, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, seen, and supported, regardless of where they are on their healing journey.
I enjoy working with adolescents, college students, couples, postpartum mothers, and families with young children. I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life's transitions, strengthen their relationships, and build healthier connections. My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I believe that some of the most meaningful growth occurs when people have a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore life's challenges openly and honestly.
I approach each session with a calm, empathetic presence and believe my role is not to tell clients what to do, but to walk alongside them with curiosity, encouragement, and support as they discover the strengths and resilience they already possess. I believe healing happens one day at a time and is often found in the small moments of growth that lead to lasting transformation.
It is truly a privilege to accompany clients as they pursue healing, hope, and meaningful change. My goal is for every client to leave our sessions feeling understood, refreshed, empowered, and equipped with the insight and confidence to take the next step toward the life they envision.
