Getting to know Aniya Howard

Life often leaves us feeling out of control, lost, frustrated, or abandoned. Sometimes our circumstances leave us wondering what to do next, or if we’ve made the right decision. Listen, life can be scary sometimes. We all encounter challenges, adults and children alike, and I get that. I want you to know that I’m human. I care about you and the problems you face. I want you to feel validated and heard because your feelings matter. Let’s create a space that feels safe for you to express yourself freely. If you need to cry, cry. If you need a laugh, I know some pretty good jokes. If you need to scream, be as loud as you need to be!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our work together will never be standardized, but customized. You deserve an approach that’s uniquely crafted with you specifically in mind. The space we develop will be that of trust and understanding; a place of hard truths, coupled with compassion. We will learn to look past your circumstances, get to the heart of what ails you, and grow together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I won’t lie, therapy isn’t always easy, but you already have everything needed to succeed. To my brothers and sisters in Christ, your faith and God’s word will guide our work together. Life isn’t always what we’ve planned it to be, but we can embrace it for what it is, take steps toward what it could be, and start to truly live. Are you ready to thrive?
