Ashley Howell, LMHC

Hello, and thank you for your interest in Open To Change! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families in an educational setting. After a rewarding decade as a school counselor, I am excited to expand my impact by transitioning into the therapist's office, where I can provide more personalized, in-depth support to clients and families navigating life's challenges. I am deeply committed to providing culturally responsive care and believe that multicultural competency is essential to building strong, meaningful counseling relationships. I have experience working with clients from diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I strive to create an inclusive, respectful, and affirming environment where every client feels seen, heard, and supported. Using a compassionate, solution-focused approach, I specialize in individual counseling, conflict mediation, restorative practices, and strengthening parent-child relationships. I am passionate about empowering individuals and families to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I work collaboratively with my clients to foster emotional growth, resolve conflict, and create meaningful paths toward healing and personal success. I look forward to bringing my experience, empathy, and dedication into a clinical setting where I can continue helping clients thrive at every stage of life. I am currently accepting new clients and understand that beginning therapy with a new counselor can feel both exciting and uncertain. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an important part of the counseling process, which is why I offer a complimentary consultation before starting services. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to working together! Ashley Howell, LMHC Open to Change, LLC
