Carrie Howell, Licensed Professional Counselor

Background and Experience

Carrie is a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience as a counselor, educator, and high school theatre director in public schools.

Personal Statement

I believe you are the expert in your own story. Whether you’re navigating stress and anxiety, identity development, academic challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem, or major life transitions, I am honored to support you on your journey.  I specialize in creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your goals, build on your strengths, and work through challenges at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in practical tools that are tailored to your unique needs.  Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that honors your values and helps you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone.
