BEHAVIORAL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELOR

Johnson Arloo M.S ADC., LPC-S

For Johnson Arloo, counseling is rooted in a simple belief: mental well-being is essential to living a meaningful life.

Before entering the mental health field, Johnson spent 11 years in Ghana working in advertising as a radio and television producer, director, and copywriter. His experience shaped his understanding of people, communication, and the experiences that influence how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Wanting to use that perspective to make a more meaningful impact, Johnson transitioned into mental health. Today, he helps clients better understand themselves, work through challenges, and create positive, lasting change.
