Empower Your Healing Journey

Culturally-Rooted Wellness

Welcome to NOLA Bloom Room—a sanctuary for healing, growth, and self-discovery. We are honored to hold space for individuals navigating the complexities of life while striving to bloom into their fullest, most authentic selves. Whether you’re here seeking relief from anxiety, healing from trauma, working through life transitions, or simply searching for clarity and balance, you’ve found a space rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and clinical excellence.

NOLA Bloom Room was established in 2020 by Dr. Johnnika Gordon-Evans, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with a deep commitment to holistic, trauma-informed, and liberation-centered care. Born out of both personal and professional insight, the Bloom Room was created to provide a safe and affirming space particularly for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to explore healing in ways that honor identity, history, and resilience.

The vision behind NOLA Bloom Room is simple yet powerful: to help individuals heal from within, reconnect with their purpose, and thrive unapologetically. 

Our Approach

At The NOLA Bloom Room, we believe healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey it is personal, sacred, and deeply connected to your lived experiences. Our approach is rooted in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors the complexities of your identity, relationships, and emotional landscape.

We work collaboratively with you to create a safe, affirming space where you can unpack, process, and rebuild. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck beneath the weight of high-functioning stress, our goal is to support your growth not just into wellness, but into wholeness.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, holistic wellness strategies, and liberation psychology, we help you reconnect with your truth, reclaim your voice, and realign with your highest self. We believe healing is radical, resilience is real, and you deserve to bloom.

Our Services

At The NOLA Bloom Room, we understand that no two healing journeys are alike. That’s why we offer tailored support designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, or adjusting to a major life transition, our work together centers your unique story, cultural context, and personal goals.

We collaborate with you to develop a therapeutic path that feels grounded, intentional, and empowering drawing from a range of evidence-based and holistic practices. You deserve care that sees you, supports your growth, and honors your lived experience. This is a space where healing is not rushed, and your transformation is fully yours.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Healing and Empowerment

 Our trauma-informed therapy approach honors the resilience you’ve cultivated while creating space for deep, restorative healing. We recognize that trauma can affect how you feel, think, and move through the world and we approach every session with care, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating chronic stress, or working through emotional triggers, we provide a safe, supportive environment where your voice is centered and your pace is respected. Through evidence-based techniques and holistic practices, we help you reclaim your story, rebuild your sense of safety, and bloom in your own time.

Wellness Groups or Healing Circles

Group Processes

The NOLA Bloom Room offers wellness groups and healing circles designed to nurture connection, self-awareness, and collective healing. These spaces provide a supportive community for individuals navigating shared experiences such as anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, or emotional burnout. Grounded in cultural humility and holistic care, each group blends therapeutic conversation, mindfulness, and creative expression to help participants feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you're looking to deepen your healing or simply not feel so alone, our circles offer a brave, restorative space to grow and bloom together.

Clinical Supervision Services

As an LPC-S, I proudly offer supervision to provisionally licensed counselors in Louisiana who are working toward full licensure. I see supervision as a collaborative, supportive, and challenging space where developing clinicians can gain confidence, competence, and clarity in their professional identity.

My supervisory approach is integrative and developmental, combining person-centered and reflective models with practical, skill-based guidance tailored to each supervisee’s needs and work environment. Drawing from my experience in crisis response, inpatient and outpatient settings, managed care, and private practice, I help supervisees:

  • Build strong clinical judgment and case conceptualization skills

  • Navigate ethical decision-making and boundaries

  • Strengthen trauma-informed and culturally attuned practices

  • Understand systemic challenges in mental health care

  • Maintain self-awareness and sustainable work-life practices

Supervision with me includes structured feedback, space for self-reflection, and mentorship from someone who has worked across nearly every level of the mental health continuum. I strive to cultivate a space that honors your growth, autonomy, and confidence while ensuring clinical excellence and client safety.

If you're looking for a supervisor who brings both depth and practicality, while centering your unique strengths as a clinician, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to licensure.

Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor | Educator | Advocate for Healing & Equity

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) in Louisiana with over a decade of diverse clinical and administrative experience in the mental health field. My professional journey began with a B.S. in Psychology from Southern University at New Orleans, followed by an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana. I completed my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Holy Cross, where I continue to expand my commitment to training, leadership, and service in the field of mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a range of settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, crisis response teams, community-based services, and managed care providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care to diverse populations.
