Biography

Deedee Johnson, LCSW - moved to Utah from North Carolina around 5 years ago. Prior to moving to Utah, she worked for a hospice and palliative care program as their social worker – managing various aspects of a grant and connecting patients and their families to community resources. She received both my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from Appalachian State University – GO MOUNTAINEERS!

At Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) she is  a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Psychiatric Program Specialist for the Comprehensive Assessment and Treatment (CAT) program. The CAT program is a clinical program that serves youth ages 4-17 and is designed to help gain an understanding of a youth’s mental health and behavioral issues. It is designed as a four to six-week program with a multidisciplinary team that works closely together to evaluate the youth, accurately identify their diagnoses, and actively begin treatment.

One of the reasons she love working in the HMHI CAT program is the unique multidisciplinary team approach – each team member brings a different perspective, and the collaborative approach allows us to provide the best possible care for our patients.
