Shannon Howard, PsyD

My communication style

Clients would describe my therapy style as authentic, empowering, and open-minded. I provide client-centered, integrative counseling designed to honor your lived experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy serving diverse communities. Collaborating with women is a passion of mine. Helping them navigate relationships, marriage, children, divorce and coping as a caregiver are areas of unique interest to me. I also enjoy my work with men, especially men in the military, those transitioning from military life to retirement.

My goals for you

I use a holistic therapy approach, which considers the connection between mind, body, and spirit, while an integrative approach aims to offer treatment, versus just a diagnosis. The goals with this approach are to help empower you, help you develop problem-solving skills, and to help further enhance your existing management skills.

Our first session

Clients can expect me to listen attentively while they share what led them to therapy and how I can be of service. The first session can feel a little awkward at first because it may be your first time talking about yourself, your current place in life and hearing yourself admit that you want things to change. Despite this, we work as a team.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
