Christi Johnson-Peoples here, Look Aligned’s newest intern! 🌿
As a Clinical Social Work intern, my work is grounded in advocacy and in standing beside those who have felt unseen, unheard, or overlooked. Under the supervision of Dr. Paigean Jones, I blend therapy with advocacy to address not only symptoms, but the deeper roots beneath them.
I feel especially called to Maternal Mental Health. Pregnancy and the postpartum season can be tender, disorienting, beautiful, and heavy all at once. As a mother myself, I approach this work with reverence. In our work together, I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed approaches.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Management and Human Relations with a minor in Healthcare Administration, as well as my Master of Science in Healthcare Administration, from Trevecca Nazarene University. I am currently completing my Master of Social Work at Tennessee State University and pursuing clinical licensure.
You may also see my name on the Look Aligned blog, where I make regular contributions to provide psychoeducation in an accessible and empowering way. I believe knowledge should feel usable and human, not distant or clinical!
Accessibility matters to me. I see clients on an equity-based sliding scale, intentionally offering flexible rates to reduce financial barriers and expand access to care. 🫂🌱
