The Full Story - Lisa Howard

Our 20s and 30s can be thrilling and full of possibility, but life transitions can also feel overwhelming, disorienting, or emotionally complex. Please know you’re not alone. I work with clients who are experiencing:

​​

• anxiety

• stress

• low mood and bipolar moods

• loneliness

• eating concerns and body image concerns 

• feeling emotionally overwhelmed

• sense of social disconnection

• other responses

​​​​​​

With me, therapy begins with genuine human connection. I believe the foundation for meaningful change comes from the trust we build together. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity—creating a space where you can share openly and feel truly heard.

​

Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your life, make sense of your experiences, and work toward the emotional health and balance you’re seeking. I believe in change through therapy.

​

There’s no single perfect path—only the one that’s uniquely yours. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll co-create an approach that fits your goals, supports your growth, and evolves as you do.

I draw from a range of modalities - including ACT, DBT, RO-DBT, Unified Protocol (UP), somatic practices, breathwork, and mindfulness - to best support your needs. I continue to deepen my expertise in these areas through ongoing training, building upon the strong foundation I developed at the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy.
