John Putney
Connection- A lot of times the first step is the hardest, so deciding to come to therapy is in of itself a huge accomplishment.
Personal statement- I like to create a relaxed environment where people feel safe and comfortable to open up about the issues they are facing. My goal is to be a safe and encouraging person for clients to work with. I want to help people help themselves and cheer them on along the way.
Education- Masters degree in Social Work from Western Kentucky University. Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Murray State University. CSW license. Experience working in Substance use treatment.
Free time- Spending time with my wife and dogs, being involved in my church, watching sports (baseball, football, basketball), fishing, hunting, hiking, and video games. I enjoy watching westerns, war movies, and 80’s action movies.
