MA, LMFT-Associate

Supervised by: Dr. Ashley Blu Staats, PhD, LMFT-S, CST-S

If you’re looking for real change and not just temporary relief, you’re in the right place.

I’m Rex Howard Jr., a Relationship and Intimacy Therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples break dysfunctional patterns, rebuild connection, and experience lasting transformation. My work goes beyond surface-level conversations. I help clients identify, diagnose, and disrupt the root causes of conflict, disconnection, and emotional distress. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, internal struggles, or repeated cycles that seem impossible to break, my approach is intentional, strategic, and results-driven.

For Couples
I specialize in helping couples restore relational intimacy, trust, and emotional safety. Together, we uncover the patterns that create conflict like communication breakdowns, unmet needs, unresolved wounds and replace them with healthier dynamics that foster connection, clarity, and partnership.

For Individuals
With individuals, I focus on helping you shift the way you think, feel, and show up in your life. By identifying the root of your negative habitual patterns, we work to reprocess past experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and build a more grounded, self-aware version of you.

My Approach
I utilize a blend of evidence-based and experiential modalities, including:
● EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
● Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
● Family Systems Therapy

This integrative approach allows me to assess not just the individual, but the entire ecosystem
influencing your life and relationships.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in precision, intention, and transformation.

I’m the therapist you come to when you’re tired of repeating the same cycles, you want clarity on what’s actually going wrong, & when you’re ready to do the work that creates lasting change! Are you ready for your transformation?
