Meet Jeremi Howell — Licensed Missouri Therapist for Adults
My Story
Hi, I’m Jeremi Howell, founder of Howell Healing & Recovery. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and virtual therapist in Missouri working with adults who are navigating life changes that look “fine” on the outside but feel confusing, heavy, or stuck on the inside.
Most of the people I work with are not in crisis.
They’re functioning. Showing up. Doing what they’re supposed to do. And, most of the time, with a smile on their face.
But internally, they feel caught in patterns they can’t seem to break. Overthinking everything. Being hard on themselves. Questioning who they are or why things still feel off.
Sometimes this shows up after a big life shift. Becoming a stepmom. Going through a divorce. Entering a new relationship. Moving through grief. Even early recovery, when the “big thing” has stopped but something still doesn’t feel settled.
That in-between space is where I do my best work.
Really, aren’t we all in recovery from something?
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are trying to make sense of where they are and how they got here.
You might be:
Adjusting to a new role like stepmom or partner in a blended family
In a healthier place than before but still feeling stuck internally
Struggling with self-doubt, overthinking, or harsh inner criticism
Moving through grief, divorce, or a major life transition
Wanting to trust yourself but not quite knowing how
You may not have a clear label for what’s wrong. Just a sense that something isn’t clicking the way you hoped it would.
That matters.
My Background
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri
20+ years working with adults in transition and emotional growth (ya know, the messy stuff)
Training in CBT, ACT, DBT, addiction/recovery, grief, trauma, ADHD
Experience supporting recovery, identity work, and relationship dynamics
Ongoing education in evidence-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed care
I bring both clinical skill and a real, human approach to this work and this space. You won’t be talked at or analyzed from a distance. You’ll be met, understood, and supported in a way that feels real. You will laugh, you will cry, you will cuss… and, you will heal. We’re in this together.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and held. A space where you can finally slow down enough to understand yourself differently and practice being you.
Because the goal is not just to cope better. It’s to stop feeling like you’re constantly working against yourself.
In our work together, we will:
Notice the patterns that keep showing up
Understand where they come from
Shift how you relate to your thoughts and emotions
Build a stronger sense of self-trust and clarity
This is not about becoming a completely different person. It’s about feeling more like yourself again.
A focus on the “in-between” seasons of life Support that goes beyond surface-level coping A space where you don’t need a perfect explanation to begin
You don’t have to prove that things are “bad enough” to deserve support.If you feel stuck, that’s enough.
What Makes This Practice Different?
My Mission
My mission is to help people move out of self-criticism and into self-trust.
I believe that when you understand yourself more clearly, everything else starts to shift. Your relationships, your decisions, and the way you move through your life. Your peace.
Therapy should feel like a place where you can figure things out without pressure, and start moving forward with more confidence.
Heal and recover, completely.
You don’t have to keep second-guessing yourself or pushing through on your own.
There is a way to feel more steady, more clear, and more like you again.
Meet Claude and Clyde
You will get to know these two in our time together. Claude (top step) prides himself on keeping his mom safe from blowing leaves and Amazon drivers. Clyde snores… loudly sometimes. Both may make a guest appearance from time to time.
Claude’s Favorite Things: bacon, silk pillowcases, being ornery
Clyde’s Favorite Things: bananas, sweaters, sleeping during session
