About me

Welcome! I'm Renita Howard, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find greater well-being. With a deep passion for mental health, I've spent the past 8 years working with clients from diverse backgrounds to foster growth, healing, and resilience. I hold a Masters of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, where I developed a solid foundation in various therapeutic modalities.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

When we begin working together, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and valued. The intake process starts with an initial session focused on understanding your needs, goals, and challenges. We’ll explore your unique story, identify areas of concern, and collaboratively develop a plan tailored to your specific goals. During this session, I’ll also answer any questions you have about therapy to help you feel comfortable with the process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I prioritize creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. My ability to connect with clients on a deep emotional level fosters trust and encourages vulnerability, allowing them to explore their feelings and experiences openly.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with individuals who seek to enhance their mental health, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of diverse populations, including athletes, professionals, and those navigating life transitions. Below is a detailed description of the clients I am most suited to serve:

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a cornerstone of my therapeutic approach because it is goal-oriented, collaborative, and highly effective in helping clients address maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

My training in SFT has equipped me with the skills to focus on clients' strengths, resources, and future aspirations rather than dwelling on past problems. I have used SFT effectively with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide range of challenges, including relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

My training in PCT has emphasized the importance of fostering a therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how creating a safe, nonjudgmental space allows clients to explore their experiences and move toward personal growth.
