Ginger Howard(She/Her/Hers)

Whether it’s because of hardship, heartbreak, or a lack of support, many people struggle to feel at ease. My mission is to help clients feel comfortable and in control of their bodies, relationships, and environment so they can live out their dreams.

I work with people healing from trauma, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions, relationship and communication issues, anxiety, and depression. Yes, we all struggle. Just because “it could be worse” doesn’t make your experience less valid or worthy of support. My experience as a Mental Health Counselor began by working with survivors of trauma accumulated from childhood, domestic violence, community violence, sex work and sex trafficking, incarceration, and the justice system. Through these experiences, I’ve learned to operate from a place of non-judgment, unconditional compassion, and even humor.

I’m not one to silently nod along and agree with everything you say. I’m an active participant in your therapeutic process. When you work with me, our dialogue will flow like a conversation. We can discuss whatever is on your mind, but I will be curious about the emotions you want to feel more and less of, the sound of your self-talk and inner thoughts, and how your body experiences the world. If you’re open to it, I’ll occasionally assign homework for you to practice what we discuss during our sessions.
