Hi! My name is Lindsay Howard, and I am a clinical psychologist with an extensive background in the field. I enjoy my profession because I am able to help other people improve the quality of their lives. It is truly an honor and a pleasure when an individual invites me on their life journey. They tell me things that they have never told anyone before. They let me see the parts of them that others are rarely allowed to see. They trust me with the most vulnerable, intimate parts of themselves and they allow me to work with them to resolve whatever is going on.

My philosophy is to teach people the tools and skills they need so that they can move forward in life and no longer need my services. And hey… if you're going through a rough patch two years from now, call me. Gone are the days of Dr. Freud – where you are in therapy for the rest of your life. This is simply unrealistic to me. My goal is to teach you adaptive coping skills to use independently throughout your life, so that you no longer need my services.

I started working with clients in a clinic during my second semester of graduate school, being supervised by licensed psychologists. I have been involved in conducting psychotherapy and psychological testing since 2007. I graduated with my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in August of 2012, completed my residency in 2013, and became licensed in 2014.

I specialize in providing services for adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse/addiction. I also work with adults challenged by stressor-related factors during times of transition such as the termination of a romantic relationship, marital problems, bereavement, and business difficulties.

Throughout my career, I have worked in homeless shelters, community mental health clinics, group practices, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, acute rehabilitation centers, and nursing facilities, finding great satisfaction in working with a variety of individuals and facing varying difficulties. Prior to relocating to the West Coast of Florida, I was the chief clinical officer of two residential chemical dependency facilities in Palm Beach County.
