Alyson Howard

I work with athletes, with teens and young adults as an area of focus, and I want to help them manage heavy expectations around performance. My name is Alyson (Aly) Howard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Diego, California.

Concerns I work with include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sports injuries and injury recovery, performance pressure, training demands and life after sports. I understand the connection between body and mind and its effect on mental health.

Sessions are individualized for each athlete and held through online therapy. Strengths-based and cognitive therapy are the approaches I use, aimed at building emotional stability and acceptance, along with self-confidence and perseverance.
