About

Get to know me!

Life sometimes presents us with unexpected or even unwanted challenges, and having support and guidance can make navigating them much easier. Being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community is a beautiful and empowering experience, but it often comes with its own set of difficulties. These can include struggles with self-acceptance, seeking acceptance from others, dealing with bullying and harassment, expressing our true selves, finding a sense of belonging, and building healthy, stable relationships. On top of these community-specific challenges, we also face the broader mental and emotional hurdles that everyone encounters in life. I strive to be open and wholeheartedly accepting of all kinds of people, embracing a "Come as you are, and as WHO you are" mindset. No taboos. No judgment. No need for explanations. You don’t need to fit into any specific label to work with me — you’ll be welcomed and accepted exactly as you are. This is your safe space to grow and heal, and I’d be honored to support you on your journey. Let’s connect and explore how I can help and whether we’re a good match for your needs. www.dustinhowardlpc.com
