My name is Kristina Howard and I am an experienced therapist. I received my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in 2010. Since graduating, I have worked in the field of community mental health (Care Manager, Day Treatment as a therapist and Director, Helpline Counselor, Geriatric Psychotherapist and Hospital Social Work Case Manager) Recently, I shifted focus to include Maternal Mental Health and Health & Wellness Coaching to support women during the Perinatal phase of life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and sharing brief history, your wants and needs. Over time, we will work together to build a "toolkit" of helpful strategies to manage symptoms, stress, emotions, behaviors, relationships and life transitions. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you don’t have to get there by yourself.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I use a person centered, strengths-based approach to build a true partnership with clients. I provide a safe, nurturing, compassionate and judgement free space fostering growth and healing. I am here to listen, support, encourage and teach.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

If you are having difficulty adjusting, feeling depressed, anxious or lonely, I am here to provide support and walk with you through your journey.
