Introduction

Dr. Howell is a psychologist who has dedicated himself to advocacy and support of the LGBT community for just over 20 years now. As an undergraduate student he found himself on the front lines of HIV prevention work where he provided community workshops and volunteered at an AIDS Service Organization spanning 3,000+ square miles in rural Texas. For the past several years, he has worked to create a safe space in Tampa for LGBT individuals in need of mental health services. Over the past year, he has made a tremendous mark in his work with the transgender community by providing free group therapy to transgender and gender diverse youth as well as their parents. As an openly gay psychologist, educator, and LGBT expert, Dr. Howell strives to shed light on bullying, suicide, and homobigotry when possible. He expanded his solo practice to become the Center for Psychological Growth and is eager to make an even larger presence in the LGBT community. His vision of starting a nonprofit came to fruition in 2017 when he co-founded the Institute for LGBT Health and Wellbeing.
