Services
SAY GOOD-BYE TO FEELING INVISIBLE because you can't get in touch with your mental health provider and HELLO TO PERSONALIZED CARE!
Hi, I'm Sandy Howard and what I've learned in my 23 years of experience providing mental health treatment, is that having the same provider who gives you readily available support even between appointments can be vital for your mental health and well being. This is called therapeutic continuity and it produces the best results. It can be as important as the medicine I prescribe! I want my patients to feel supported in their recovery and I encourage wellness.
If you are comfortable with technology then you will love the way I deliver personalized care. I use a medical app which is HIPAA compliant & encrypted. This links us directly and allows for personal & secure communication between appointments, which are done via HIPAA compliant Zoom.
At your first appointment we will explore your life's journey and past treatment responses. Then together we develop a plan for treatment which includes medication.
I'm currently booking new patients in October. You can request the paperwork to get the process started by clicking on the "contact" page at the top of this page. If on your phone it's in the upper right hand corner in the drop down menu.
I feel connected to nature, animals and music. I live in the mountains of North Carolina with my wife and our 2 dogs and 2 cats. Check out our band, Deep River on the links below.
