My name is Claudia Howard, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. I graduated from Ottawa University with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling degree, with a Trauma, Abuse and Deprivation concentration.
My passion lies in helping others achieve a greater sense of well-being and finding better ways of interacting with others through better self-care, inter- and intrapersonal skills development, and while focused on a trauma-informed and client-centered approach. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I also include various other therapeutic modalities including behavioral, cognitive, modified dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness training in our journey to achieving your goals.
I am privileged to have worked with people aged 2 to 82 with a vast amount of diversity which allows me to consider the needs of many different age ranges and cultural backgrounds.
