I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with the transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults age 19 to 69 years old. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and mindfulness teacher I have both graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

As a therapist, I specialize in serving adult, children, adolescents and families who are dealing with trauma, substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, delinquency, ADHD and other related behavioral health issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Weber State University, and later a Master degree in Forensic Social Work from the University of Utah.

Hello, my name is Willie Johnson, MSW, LCSW- Thank You for considering my services... I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NV and Utah, with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and groups address challenges including anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and other mood disorders. One of the most important parts of healing is learning to distinguish your true identity from your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and physical experiences. You are not your body. You are not your feelings. You are not your emotions. While you experience these things, they do not define who you truly are. This idea led me to write about sadness in a new way — as something clever enough to manipulate us the way a pimp manipulates: through control, false promises, and emotional dependency. I explore this concept, along with practical tools for reclaiming your identity from it, in my books available at www.SadnessIsAPimp.com. I often recommend these resources to clients as a companion to our work together. Within our therapeutic relationship, you will learn to recognize and identify the emotional patterns and secondary responses that may be attempting to manipulate, control, or negatively shape your character and personality. Therapy is designed to help you release guilt, pain, trauma, and emotional burdens caused by harm done to you, harm done to others, or even harm you may have caused yourself. Our goal is not simply to cope with emotional struggles, but to work toward true healing and emotional freedom. Through self-reflection and therapeutic guidance, you can become more self-aware, challenge unhealthy thought patterns, and develop healthier ways of functioning in everyday life. I believe prioritizing your mental health is an investment in yourself and an active step toward healing. If you'd like to explore these ideas further outside of session, visit www.SadnessIsAPimp.com for my books and additional resources. Best Regards, Willie E. Johnson, LCSW --- "Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing" 1. Love Everybody, 2. Forgive Everybody, 3. Respect Everybody, 4. Be Kind To Everybody & 5. Hold Everybody Accountable -- Starting With Yourself. I look forward to working with you. ________________________________________ SPECIALTIES • Anger • Stress, Anxiety • Family conflicts • Trauma and abuse • Parenting issues • Relationship Issues • Depression Also experienced in: Addictions, Relationship issues, Grief, Anger management, Self-esteem, Coping with life changes, Abandonment, Attachment Issues, Domestic Violence, Family Problems… LGBT , Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues Career difficulties, Coaching , Compassion fatigue , Abandonment….
