Getting to know Yazmine Howard

Hi there, I'm Yazmine! My name is Yazmine Howard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Chicagoland area with a decade of experience working primarily with African-American adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. My experience includes crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy. I utilize an integrative approach in my sessions and prioritize the therapeutic relationship and rapport developed with each client to enhance therapy outcomes. My approach Every individual and situation is unique, and I strongly believe in tailoring my approach to the needs of each client. As a therapist, I take an integrative approach to care, focusing on understanding the multiple systems influencing one's life while advocating for those struggling to find their place and voice within society. I use client-centered, strength-based coaching and talk therapy as my overall treatment model. My focus Over the years, I have found that my style and clinical approach are a good fit for adolescents and young adults dealing with the frustrations of societal pressures. These challenges often manifest as depression, stress, anxiety, and family discord. My goal when working with clients is to help them develop a toolbox of resources and responses to both internal and external stressors, for the present and future. My communication style My communication style is calm and personable. I take the time to fully understand my clients in order to engage honestly and, most importantly, create a space where they feel comfortable, heard, and not judged.
