Bruce Howard

Dr. Bruce Howard is a seasoned psychologist with a PhD, specializing in helping adults and elders navigate complex emotional landscapes. His therapeutic approach centers on three pivotal dimensions. First, he emphasizes instilling awareness and insight into the development of one's individual identity. Dr. Howard recognizes that both perfect and imperfect family experiences contribute to unmet needs and emotional injuries, whether intentional or not. Through this understanding, clients discover that their identity is not fixed and that healthier perspectives on themselves and the world are attainable. The second dimension of his practice involves the integration of suppressed painful feelings, essential for maintaining critical attachments and healthy autonomy during childhood. By addressing these disavowed emotions, clients can overcome psychological and physiological symptoms, reclaiming their full humanity. Finally, experiential learning is key in Dr. Howard's method. As clients gain insight and heal from their past, they are empowered to experiment with new behaviors, realizing that their current environment is distinct from their family upbringing. This transformational journey facilitated by psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt techniques, and interpersonal relationships enables individuals to effect the change they desire in their lives.
