Testimonials

“Ken is a consummate professional, combining the best in common sense, practical business coaching, and a solid grounding in evidence-based psychotherapy. There are few of his ilk. I have become a better and more secure manager of my own life with his help. I recommend him to friends, particularly gay professionals who seek improved personal and interpersonal skills and business acumen. Ken wears both hats with considerable skill and warmth.”
–K.E., gay male corporate CEO

“I’ve worked with Ken Howard, LCSW, in the HIV community in Los Angeles. He’s one of the most astute therapists I know here in L.A. in regard to the lives of gay men and people with HIV.”
–Tony Valenzuela, Writer, community organizer

Testimonials

“I came to Ken because I had suddenly and unexpectedly lost my partner, John, to a massive heart attack. John had been my soulmate and the great love of my life. My grief was overwhelming and really was stopping me from living a life. Ken worked with me to find ways to both deal with my grief and to honor my late partner as well. He is very pragmatic and made some amazing statements to me that made everything crystal clear. Ken helped me in small steps to regain control of my life.”
– CD, 51, GWM

Testimonials

“A Therapist for Everybody, Plus: Ken is a well-trained, caring, and smart therapist with a practice serving mostly professional gay men. He has provided solid, goal-centered psychotherapy (he’d call it cognitive or something, I suppose) – and is not afraid to include some business coaching in the mix. I’d recommend Ken to anyone wrestling with personal, psychological issues and the stress of running a business. This guy is good at what he does; he’s not cheap by any means, but what good shrink is? Like a lot of people, I had to shop around. I’m sticking with Ken.”
– Guerogrino
