John Morehead, MS, LCMHC

Hello! I’m John Morehead. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families to address a variety of mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, other problem behaviors, and difficult life transitions. I bring over a decade of experience in substance abuse treatment and general mental health practice, with a particular passion for working with individuals facing addictions and trauma.

 

As a DBT-certified therapist and EMDR-trained clinician, I believe in the power of evidence-based therapies to create lasting change. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients address surface-level issues with thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. EMDR, on the other hand, provides a powerful way to process past trauma and transform the core beliefs that shape how we see the world and ourselves.

 

I have extensive experience working with individuals facing co-occurring disorders, including severe mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizoaffective disorder, and other psychotic illnesses. My approach centers on creating a safe, trusting environment where clients can be open and honest without judgment, fostering a relationship of healing and growth. I also have a background in ministry and can offer faith-based integration upon request.

 

Drawing on my own history of overcoming mental health challenges, I bring both professional expertise and personal empathy to my practice. Outside of work, I enjoy serving in my church community, spending time with my wife and two children, and working on car restoration projects in my home shop.I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
