Desiree Howell(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Desiree Howell is a psychologist offering online therapy to adults in New York, Iowa, and all PsyPact states. She specializes in supporting high-achieving college students, career-oriented adults, and sensitive, neurodivergent women who face immense pressure to "keep it together." Her clients often struggle with perfectionism and self-doubt, despite appearing confident outwardly. Many are women striving to balance successful careers and connected family lives, leading to burnout, emotional fatigue, lack of motivation, and disconnection.

Dr. Howell's trauma-informed approach ensures a safe and secure therapeutic environment, especially for clients with trauma histories. She practices Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients move past painful memories and uses somatic embodiment and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies to foster mind-body connection and inner healing. Additionally, she offers neurodiversity-affirming ADHD and Autism testing, recognizing and supporting diverse neurological experiences.

With a PhD from Ball State University, Dr. Howell integrates feminism and social justice into her practice, advocating for equality and inclusivity. Her goal is to collaborate with clients of all identities and backgrounds, helping them achieve their mental health goals and thrive authentically.
