Counselor bio

Deja Howard, MSW, SWC

About Deja

I strongly admire all that social work represents, from relationship building and self-determination to skill strengthening and empowerment, as well as cultivating agency and self-advocacy among individuals and communities, and highlighting the importance of putting systems theory into practice. I apply this concept and consider the biological, psychological, and social-environmental influences on clients and the community. I also recognize and apply the framework of intersectionality as it relates to my clients. Emphasizing a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist lens while engaging in therapy. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado Mesa University in 2019. I then graduated from Colorado State University with a master's degree in social work in 2021. I am currently working towards obtaining my Doctorate in social work from Capella University. During my down time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. listening to podcasts, reading books, cooking delicious foods, shopping, and staying active

Gemini Ai
AI Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

Rahel Girma MA. LPCC, NCC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rahel has been a joy to work with so far. She's very pleasant and seems excited to help me with my mental health journey. She's very welcoming and easy to warm up. She listens intently, asks meaningful questions, gives helpful advice and affirmations, and is very responsive. She's prompt to our appointments and is very diligent in recalling and addressing things from our last session to help keep the flow and the conversation going. She's also very skilled in facilitating natural transitions in the conversation and topics. I'm very happy and grateful for her professional help!

I can just say the confidence I have today I didn't have before I met Jennifer. She taught me amazing tools for me to be the best mother I have ever been. Trauma is a thing that takes time to heal but I have this.
