Understand what feels wrong and begin moving toward healing
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or unsure of where to begin. Perhaps you’re noticing that life feels harder than it used to, your relationships feel strained, or you’re watching your child struggle and aren’t sure how to help. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Right now, you might be:
- Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
- Navigating challenges at school, work, or home
- Looking for support for your child, teen, or family
- Experiencing relationship or communication difficulties
- Wanting practical tools to manage emotions and everyday stress
- Looking for a therapist who is supportive, approachable, and flexible
If this sounds familiar, therapy can provide a space to slow down, better understand what’s happening, and develop the tools you need to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Meet Adam Howell, LCMHC
Adam works with children (ages 6–12), teens, adults, couples, and families, providing a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, they tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.
Known for having a calm, relaxed, and soothing presence, Adam believes that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. They recognize that no two people experience life’s challenges in the same way and work collaboratively with each client to create an approach that feels comfortable, effective, and personalized.
Whether you prefer open conversation, structured skill-building, or a combination of both, therapy is designed around what works best for you.
Outside of the therapy office, Adam enjoys traveling, listening to music, playing video games, and constantly learning new things. Their curiosity and appreciation for new experiences help them connect with clients from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences.
What therapy with Adam feels like
Therapy is collaborative, welcoming, and tailored to your individual needs. Clients often describe Adam as easygoing, approachable, and calming, creating an environment where it’s easier to talk openly and explore life’s challenges.
A supportive environment: You’ll be met with empathy, respect, and acceptance while working at a pace that feels right for you.
Flexible to your needs: Some clients benefit from open, person-centered conversations, while others appreciate more structured sessions that include psychoeducation, worksheets, and practical exercises. Therapy can include both, depending on what feels most helpful.
Practical tools for everyday life: Sessions focus on helping you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing skills you can apply outside of therapy.
Support for every stage of life: Whether you’re helping a child develop healthy coping skills, supporting a teenager through life’s transitions, strengthening a relationship, or working on your own personal growth, therapy is adapted to meet your goals.
The goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and equipped with the tools to navigate life’s challenges long after therapy ends.
Adam’s approach: collaborative, practical, and individualized
Adam believes therapy should fit the person—not the other way around. Their approach is flexible and individualized, balancing meaningful conversation with practical strategies that help clients create lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that influence how you experience life’s challenges. Together, you’ll learn practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, improve coping skills, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress.
Behavioral Therapy
When working with children, behavioral therapy focuses on developing positive behaviors, improving emotional regulation, strengthening communication skills, and helping families create consistent strategies that support growth both at home and at school.
Person-Centered Therapy
Some clients simply need a safe place to process their experiences. Person-centered therapy provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while feeling supported and understood.
Psychoeducation and Skill Building
For clients who appreciate a more structured approach, therapy may include education about mental health, practical worksheets, coping strategies, and exercises that help reinforce new skills between sessions.
