My name is Ivy Dey-Johnson, and I am a License Clinical Social Worker who utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist Clients with concerns, issues, or problems.
My approach
I believe how we perceive a situation elicits an emotion/feeling that is expressed in our behavior.
My focus
As a Marine Corps Veteran, I am comfortable treating Veterans, active duty Military, and Reserves and their Significant Others. I specialize in substance use and gambling addiction, along with the comorbidity of mental health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
My communication style
I am very sincere and empathic with Clients and seek to see the situation from their perspective in order to provide objective feedback and support and elicit options for their personal resolution.
My journey to mental healthcare
Becoming a Social Worker is a second career after my early retirement from the Marine Corps. A Psychologist helps me make the transition from the military to the civilian world. I want to provide the same support and guidance I was given during the most trying time in my life.
My goals for you
Client formulates their own goals with objective guidance and support from me.
My first session with you
Our first session is a biopsychosocial assessment to obtain valuable historical and background information that may be impacting the Client in the present. This assessment also helps me to better understand and empathize with the Client.
