Summary

Dr. Howell earned an academic scholarship right out of high school, but it was 30 years, a successful landscaping career, and four daughters down the road before she would complete her undergraduate degree. As she debated about defining her career choice, she felt God's leading to become a counselor. Her education and life experiences have equipped her to understand many of the issues facing those in need.

After completing a Master of Arts in counseling, she started her own practice in the Dawsonville area. Dr. Howell earned her Doctor of Philosophy in psychotherapy in 1999 and has continually built upon that base by taking postgraduate certification courses covering a variety of areas: Nutrition Response Testing®, women's issues, grief, inner memory healing, stress management, anxiety disorder, and divorce recovery.

Over the last 20 years in the profession, Dr. Howell's experiences have been extensive. She has had the opportunity to counsel individuals with a wide range of needs and has provided services for a number of local institutions and groups. Dr. Howell believes that for the maximum benefit, it is important to treat the individual’s "whole person"––spirit, soul, and body.
