Hi! I’m Wendy W Howell, LPC and I thoroughly love connecting with each client to support personal meaning and well-being. Caring about your happiness and well-being is the foundation of my work, a contemplation upon which I start my day.

I know what it is like to seek a counselor who has that right combination of skills, acceptance and support.

I devoted over 20 + years to public mental health before starting my private practice just as the pandemic hit. I love working with people from an array of backgrounds and am experienced doing so. I work with your individual process, according to your need. If you are looking for depth, I am adept at multidimensional assessment. In sessions, together, we will use Evidence Based, integrative, culturally sensitive approaches to realize growth, healing, and change!

I enjoy working with whatever level of personal philosophy or spirituality you want to incorporate in sessions. I have training to support this therapeutically, and experience with/ not limited to: Atheist/Humanist, Bahai, Buddhist, Earth Based/ Pagan/Wiccan/ Nature Based, Catholic/ LDS/ Protestant, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Metaphysical/New Age, Indigenous traditions, and Traditional Healing.

My therapeutic environment is inclusive, supportive and effective for persons of any culture, gender identity, sexual orientation and lifestyle, partnership style, family structure, background, lifestyle, ability, learning style, and country of origin. I accept United Healthcare/ UMR, Aetna, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield commercial plans and private pay virtual/ in person AZ clients. Now taking virtual private pay clients in NM!

I am currently developing curriculum for a virtual group, providing counseling concepts from a Nature Based perspective. This is a safe space for people who identify as Magick practitioners, Nature Based, Pagan, Wiccan, and adjacent spiritualities/ philosophies. Please contact me if you are interested in the book and/or group when it comes out.

I look forward to our time processing together.
