Sussana Howard

My communication style

My communicative style is warm, approachable, and grounded in empathy. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and respected. I listen carefully, encourage open dialogue, and welcome questions so we can work together as partners in care.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into psychiatric nursing began when my brother was diagnosed with a mental illness. Wanting to better understand his experience and support others like him inspired me to pursue advanced training in mental health care.

My goals for you

I approach goal-setting as a collaborative process where we identify what matters most to you. Together, we break larger concerns into realistic, achievable steps and adjust them as your needs change. My focus is to ensure your goals feel meaningful, manageable, and aligned with your values

Our first session

During the first session, I complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that covers your mental health history, medical history, medical background, current symptoms, and goals for treatment. I will explain my clinical impressions and outline potential treatment options, including medication and therapeutic strategies.
