Jonathon White

Over 20 years of experience in social work and mental health and substance use disorder. I have worked in both acute and primary care provider settings. I believe all clients are the expert on their lives. I provide a psychological safe therapeutic environment where clients are free to express thoughts, feelings and values. I believe in working from a strength-based approach empowering clients to utilize existing and developing new strategies to cope with the demands of life. My bachelor's and master's degrees are in social work with a special certification in Public Child Welfare. I have served on the Mental Health Advisory Board with Begin to Talk and the Louisville Urban League.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. Me and the client work together to identify desired goals for therapy using the SPIRE Model of Resilience:

Spiritual wellbeing

Physical wellbeing

Intellectual wellbeing

Relational well being

Emotional wellbeing

I believe in empowering clients through skills building. I use evidence-based therapy tools designed to assist clients in reaching goals with expectations of client participation in explore tools that are most helpful for them.
