Getting to know Phillip Howard

Hi there, I'm Phillip! My practice thrives on variety and diversity! My experience as a therapist is wide-ranging: I have worked in adult rehab, child development, college therapy, women's trauma recovery, and individual online and in-person work with teens, adults, and seniors. I use my experience of life and therapy to create a unique recovery space for every client. My focus I welcome clients whose lives need change for the better, and who are ready to activate a new member of their personal support system, regardless of the specific problems they face. My experience of working successfully with hundreds of clients makes me very confident and optimistic about the resiliency of the human mind and spirit. My approach I focus on 3 areas of practice: Strengths, Skills and Solutions; and I offer the benefits of an engaged and non-judgmental listener and problem-solver. My therapy experience and broad skill-set allow me to offer ways forward when the client feels there may be no way forward. Hope and lasting personal growth underlie all of my work. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. I will always give you opportunities during sessions to share, and reflect upon, your experiences and thoughts. My past and current clients would tell you that I'm friendly, upbeat, and honest. My journey to mental healthcare I found my way to therapy living and working across three continents, through careers in the theatre, and in teaching at all levels up to post-graduate professional development. My clinical and life experiences have helped teach me the value of community, and a strong and dynamic sense of self-worth which is essential to successful therapy. My goals for you I work with clients who are struggling with any aspect of their life, past and present. During our sessions we will get to know each other and collaborate to address problems in a way that helps you get your life back.
