Hillary Howard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in CA. Hillary specializes in supporting clients through life transitions such as: burnout, parenting, grief, in addition to managing anxiety and depression. Often, clients approach therapy because they want to find ways to live more authentically or in ways that lead to a greater sense of fulfillment. Hillary supports working professionals and students, specializing in helping healthcare professionals who are burnt out or at risk for burnout. She also frequently supports new parents who are adjusting to a growing family. Many of her clients feel emotionally exhausted and have a hard time finding the value of their weekly routines. They feel stuck and want to create new habits that transform their lives.
Hillary’s therapeutic style is interactive and engaged. She often sends clients articles, podcasts, videos, or books that might be helpful for them as they grow their mental health. She helps clients take deep looks into their daily lives and their current obstacles. Clients analyze their lives through several different lenses, such as behavioral, emotional, or social. Hillary brings mindfulness exercises into her sessions, teaching clients how to be present in their thoughts and actions. Through growing awareness, clients notice their patterns and learn what’s not working for them. Hillary helps clients connect with their values and align their lives towards these values, which can bring a greater sense of engagement in life. Hillary believes in the importance of processing past traumas and provides that support can produce healing.
She builds strong rapport with her clients and truly cares about each person that enters her practice.
