Sonjia Howard

My communication style

My communication style is respectful, clear, and direct. I create a professional, supportive environment where you are treated with dignity, compassion, and honesty. While I am warm and attentive, I am also objective and grounded, helping you look at situations realistically and without judgment. Expect thoughtful questions, clear feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into clinical social work began while serving on active duty in the U.S. Army, where I was assigned to a Basic Combat Training Brigade. I provided trainees valuable advice on navigating the personal, emotional, and professional complexities of life.

My goals for you

I help patients set goals in clear, collaborative, and structured ways. Together we will identify what is most important to you, what you want to change, strengthen, or better understand—and translate those concerns into realistic, measurable goals. The process of your self-discovery will be purposeful, meaningful, and powerful. You will be ready!

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and begin building a safe, collaborative space for your growth. We will discuss your reasons for seeking support, your personal history, and any current challenges or stressors you are experiencing. Together, we will explore your goals for your journey and set realistic objectives.
