John Wohlert, MSW, LCSW, LCADC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the state of New Jersey. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Monmouth University in 2008 and bring over 18 years of experience in the mental health and substance use treatment fields.

Throughout my career, I have worked across a wide range of clinical settings, including substance abuse rehabilitation programs, mental health programs, and integrated substance use and mental health treatment environments. My background also includes work with individuals experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges, which has given me a deep understanding of complex clinical needs.
