My name is Johanna Sozio and it is a privilege to be able to work with you. Therapy is a complex process that centers on establishing trust and respect. I would like to introduce myself as a means for laying some groundwork and hopefully diminish any uncertainties or obstacles that may interfere with entering treatment. 

I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling at Oral Roberts University in 2011,

and initially began working in my discipline with individuals struggling with addiction. I started out as a staff and group therapy counselor, to then becoming the assistant clinical director and finally director of an outpatient agency in New York.

I relocated to North Carolina with my family in 2017 and in April of 2019, I became licensed in North Carolina as a clinical mental health counselor and have worked at amazing group practices that afforded me with many growth opportunities. 

As a former director, I take pride in understanding the ins and outs of running a clinical practice, however at the heart of it, the clinical work that is done in session between the provider and client, remain unmatched for me. I remain passionate about helping others achieve their goals and have found that the skills and tools I have acquired along the way continue to equip me with additional resources for treating dual diagnosis populations and establishing my own PLLC. I remain humble at the opportunity I have to be a part of my each and everyone of my clients’ journey toward healing and renewed hope.
