Johanna Sozio, LCMHC

For more than 5 years of her career that spans over a decade, Johanna has specialized in Substance Abuse and Addictions, focusing on assisting clients in overcoming challenges related to addiction. She believes in establishing treatment goals and identifying healthy coping skills as essential steps towards positive change, emphasizing the importance of a full commitment to treatment.

As an EMDRIA-approved Certified EMDR therapist and a faith-based counselor, Johanna integrates spirituality into her sessions, respecting each client’s comfort level and only discussing spirituality if agreed upon. However, she ensures that clients who choose not to discuss faith in treatment have their requests respected.

Johanna values diversity and inclusivity, creating a safe environment for clients of all belief systems. She does not discriminate based on cultural, religious, political, or gender views.

Using a Readiness for Change model, Johanna assists clients in addressing everyday struggles and is passionate about helping them reach their full potential. She has witnessed clients undergo radical transformation by implementing strategies learned in counseling, such as reaching out for support and exchanging unhealthy coping skills for healthy ones.

Choosing to start therapy and embracing change can be challenging, but Johanna is committed to guiding clients through this process with empathy, compassion, and unwavering support.
