5/5
Neal Howard has been my therapist/counselor for several years, supporting me through a number of personal challenges and crises. These have included severe grief, a sudden unscheduled move from a 15 year home, the pandemic and a serious health crisis. He is an exceptionally compassionate and skilled therapist. He listens keenly with great respect and counsels with insight and wisdom.
