Hi!! I’m Jamie Howard.

Founder / Licensed Professional Counselor

I believe that healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as they are. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore life's challenges, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, and the lasting effects of difficult or traumatic experiences.

I earned an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Counseling, with advanced training in mental health assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic interventions.

I worked as a therapist for a Behavioral Health Center for 7 years before transitioning to work as an Elementary School Counselor and Behavior Interventionist where I have worked for the last 17 years.

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 trained therapist who believes that every person has an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and self-compassion. Using the IFS model, we work together to understand the different "parts" of you that may be carrying pain, fear, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, or protective strategies developed throughout your life. Rather than judging these parts, we approach them with curiosity and respect, creating opportunities for deeper healing and lasting change.

Why I Do What I Do

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we will build on your strengths, develop greater self-awareness, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

One of the greatest privileges of my work is walking alongside people as they navigate loss, overcome obstacles, discover new strengths, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have been hidden by pain, trauma, or life's demands. I believe that meaningful change happens through a combination of self-awareness, compassion, and genuine connection. My goal is to help clients feel supported, empowered, and understood as they create lives that align with their values and hopes for the future.

What keeps me passionate about this work is witnessing the resilience of the human spirit. Even in the midst of grief, anxiety, trauma, or uncertainty, I have seen people find healing, growth, and renewed purpose. Being a part of that journey is both humbling and deeply rewarding, and it is why I am honored to do this work every day.
