More About Melanie Johnson
Clinical Interests:
Most of my LADC career has been in residential and outpatient with lodging with adult male identifying clientele. I have a minor in mental health and enjoy learning more as the field evolves.
Clinical Approach:
I firmly believe that there is not a single track that works for every individual, but every individual has a track that will work for them when they find it. I have always had the approach that it is not my job to say how an individual works their recovery; it is my job to help that individual find what works for their recovery. I do a lot of working with clients on their self-worth, self-love and self-confidence to help them navigate external influences that negatively impact their substance use. Through reframing, motivational interviewing and skill building, clients are able to have a voice in their treatment process as we learn together what it is they need.
Hobbies:
I enjoy spending time with my family, whether that is traveling or game nights. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting and watching crime shows or anything with Gordon Ramsey.
