About Teva
Hello, I’m Teva Johnstone—Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Supervisor, and private practice owner in Ventura, California.
The focus of my practice is OCD and related conditions. I also see people suffering from depression and parenting concerns.
I receive regular supervision in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and anxious distress from an expert clinician and professor in NYC.
I enjoy mentoring early career providers and currently supervise pre-licensed child therapists.
