Welcome to Evolve and Change Counseling, PLLC. My name is LaStacie “Stacie” Johnson, and I am passionate about helping people move forward, find balance, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor- Associate, Supervised by Kimberly Boyd, M. S., LPC-S, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), a Life Coach, a Certified Mediator, and a Child Advocate. My professional journey has taken me from serving as a Special Education Teacher and School Counselor to working as a Substance Abuse Counselor, and now as the owner and lead therapist of Evolve and Change Counseling. With years of experience supporting individuals, families, and organizations, I specialize in addressing substance use concerns, trauma, PTSD, codependency, family dynamics, and burnout/compassion fatigue—particularly among educators and veterans.

Before entering the counseling field, I proudly served eight years in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps. As a disabled veteran, I understand firsthand the challenges of resilience, transition, and healing. My military background instilled discipline, problem-solving, and a deep commitment to advocating for others—skills that continue to shape the way I show up for my clients.

In my work, I bring together the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the grounding of mindfulness practices, and the encouragement of life coaching to help clients set and achieve personal goals. As a mediator, I help families and individuals navigate conflict with clarity and compassion, while my role as a child advocate ensures that the voices and well-being of young people are honored in every step of the process. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian principles, emphasizing self-worth, resilience, and the importance of living in alignment with one’s values.

At Evolve and Change Counseling, my mission is simple: to walk alongside you as you evolve, embrace change, and create the life you were meant to live.
