Myra Woodard-Shobe, MSSW, LCADC

Lead Clinical Supervisor

Myra received her Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSSW) from Spalding University and her CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor) in 2009. She was awarded a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville Kent School and her LCADC (Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor) in 2015. She is also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy used to treat trauma and other emotional challenges.

Myra has worked in the field of addiction for over 17 years, with experience in residential treatment, case management, and individual, group, and family counseling. She has gained supervisory experience in residential settings, working with women experiencing homelessness, substance use disorders, HIV, pregnancy, young motherhood, and co-occurring disorders, sometimes requiring the utilization of medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

Myra joined The Morton Center in October 2018 and was named Lead Clinical Supervisor as of June 1, 2025. In her role, she supports the clinical team while continuing to provide direct care to clients. Myra is known for her commitment to helping clients uncover “what’s under the iceberg”—the barriers that prevent long-term recovery, including trauma, abuse, mental health issues, and other co-occurring disorders.

Myra believes, “If we can change one individual, we can change families. If we change families, we can change communities. If we change communities, we can change the world.”
