New Year, New Mindset. When people jot down their new year’s resolutions, eating healthier, hitting the gym, and getting more organized usually make it to the top of the list while mental health doesn’t even get an honorable mention.
This new year Pia Johnson is taking on the task of transforming mental health from a trendy buzzword into a very real priority. Pia Johnson is the owner and founder of Transformation Counseling Services in New York as well as a Licensed Master Social Worker with a concentration in clinical social work. Her goal is to empower clients to improve their overall well-being and seek healthier balance in their lives.
Pia graduated with a BA in Psychology from SUNY Empire State College and an MSW from Hunter College School of Social Work. She brings many years of public service and nonprofit experience from a variety of clinical settings. For over twenty years, she has worked with individuals diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders, LGBTQ populations, depression, anxiety, couples, and individuals with chronic medical illnesses. She works from a blended theory approach with emphasis on a strength-based and client-focused perspective to provide support and foster healthy therapeutic relationships.
No matter what your goals are for 2023 getting your mental health in order should be in the top two, and it shouldn’t be number two. The hard truth is, it does not matter how great someone looks or how much money they have, if their mental health is in shambles it is all in vain.
