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 prescribed or the type of therapy you engage in.
My experience is vast and includes: hospital inpatient psychiatry, ER psychiatry, psychiatric urgent care, inpatient detox programs, private rehab programs, community mental health out-patient clinics throughout most counties in WNC, and private practice.
I deliver personalized, compassionate, medication management for mental health treatment, no matter where you live in North Carolina! Asheville, the Paris of the South, the coastal areas of Wilmington & the Outer Banks, the Queen City of Charlotte, the Research Triangle of Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill, or anywhere in-between.
