Jodi Tarantino, LICSW has worked in many facets of the substance abuse and mental health field over the past 16 years. Jodi’s experiences include child protection in New Hampshire, outpatient treatment in Lawrence and Worcester, family residential treatment in Leominster, residential treatment for Department of Youth Services-involved youth in Methuen, residential treatment for adult men and women in Westborough and as a licensing inspector for the Department of Public Health’s Substance Addiction Bureau in Central and Western Massachusetts. Jodi was also the host of the radio show and podcast Airing Addiction. She is passionate about ensuring all individuals are treated with compassion and given the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves.
Jodi attended the University of New Hampshire with the intention of going into sports broadcasting, but during her sophomore year she got a job with Upward Bound that changed her life and propelled her in a different direction. Working with first-generation college-bound youth, Jodi recognized the strong impact substance abuse and un/under-treated mental health issues in the youth and their family members had on the students’ educational outcomes and dedicated herself to helping individuals and families overcome the barriers to leading their best lives. She went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in psychology and master’s degree in social work from UNH.
Jodi is looking forward to bringing her experiences, positive energy and hope to Woburn Wellness. Through diverse programming and individualized treatment, Jodi anticipates significant personal growth and recovery for individuals and family members receiving treatment through Woburn Wellness.
