Deborah Howell, P.A.

Is your child feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Or maybe you just want to equip your child with skills that will enable them to successfully conquer whatever difficulty they are facing. There is often 8-10 years from the onset of symptoms to intervention. Just one example – about one-half of adults with anxiety issues report that their symptoms began in childhood. Intervene now – during the critical developmental years in the life of your child. Equip your child now with coping skills that will carry them successfully into adulthood. I work from a family perspective and believe that children are part of a much larger family system that must be involved in treatment. You will learn ways to help and come alongside your child. YOU HAVE A LOT OF CHOICES. WHY CHOOSE ME? EXPERIENCE COUNTS Fully Licensed since 2011. 15 years as a therapist for kids. 10 years in Private Practice. Teacher for 6 years prior.
