"I should’ve read the reviews here before scheduling. I concur with the reviews left thus far. She told me our next appointment would be a certain time and showed up 15 minutes late with a bad attitude. When I advised I texted her to ask about rescheduling, she became defensive. Very unprofessional."

"Not a good therapist, Did not show to first appointment and stated it was because she was in traffic like that made it ok. She stated that I could cancel my appointment instead of her canceling the appointment so that I would to be billed as a no show. I asked her explicitly to cancel my appointment and she responded and said she wish me the best and to contact the billing department and that she would not be responding back, SHE DID NOT CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT. I advised her if I had to get the appointment retroactively taken care of I would report her to the licensing board which honestly I may still do because she does not need to be a therapist. She has a slew of negative reviews. The appointment was IMMEDIATELY canceled after I sent that message. I had booked 2 therapy appointments with to look for a new therapist because I have encountered many like her but not as repulsive. This was really a blessing for me because I didn't have to wait for her to show her true colors and she was I was consulting with multiple therapist and had found a good fit candidate. But it's so unfortunate for people who are desperately seeking help and encounter horrible therapists like her. I honestly should have known based on her profile picture. She doesn't even look directly in the camera."

"My teen/ recently turned adult daughter inquired with Dr. Howard about completing a form for an emotional support animal (ESA). As she starts college in the Fall and her school told her to have her therapist to complete an form for this purpose. In Dr. Howard’s response, she added “ I would hope you were not attempting to use me for your own gain when you haven't attended therapy with me since January. I hope that our therapeutic relationship was better than this (my daughter name)”. Regardless if Dr. Howard was unable to complete the form and has not had a session with my daughter since January, my daughter was following the instructions for he college and simply was asking about the form. Just because a person is a licensed provider does not give your the right to be unkind, discourteous, and unprofessional. She missed the point of the email and made it personal. Her communication made my daughter very uncomfortable and was offensive. Do better!"
