This is Ian
Ian Howard is a forward thinking, multi-faceted wellness practitioner. Known by many as a creative mind, he blends his philosophy of therapeutic health with his intrinsic artistic expression.
Guided by the spiritual psychology practice of The 3 Principles, Ian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a B.S. in Sociology and Ethnic Studies from the University of California, Berkeley and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of San Francisco.
He began his work leading clinical teams in non-profit organizations that serve low-income families and teens in the Los Angeles area. He has since gone on to work as a Clinical Director for intensive outpatient and inpatient treatment centers. He specializes in developing individualized treatment plans which foster unique and powerful outcomes for the clients he serves.
In addition to his therapeutic practice, Ian is a writer, hip-hop artist under the moniker Habits Die and a long standing sneaker head.
“Being worried about your future isn’t your future’s impending arrival, but your thinking’s present power.” -Ian
Ian’s Approach
It’s about a feeling. That is what you are seeking. A feeling. You find it in life, but not often enough. Not consistently. Yet, you know what this feeling is, and you know you want to be present with this feeling more often.
Some people call it peace of mind. Others, insight. This feeling can be accessed and it can be something that you experience with regularity.
That is what you and I can find together.
Through my philosophy of health, I offer a path to understanding, forgiveness and a life lived more often in this good feeling.
Ian’s Mission
To challenge the traditional therapeutic model.
My goal is for you to not need me to be your therapist or life coach for life. You have everything you need.
I want you to gain insights about how you can shape your world, moment to moment. Using what you learn from our work together as a sustainable guiding path to one day... no longer need me.
