William P. Howard, PhD

Dr. Howard received a Bachelor degree from the University of Texas at Austin with a double major in English and Government.  He did his doctoral work at the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles.  After completing his course work, he stayed in the southern California area for two internships (University of California at Riverside Counseling Center and the Veterans Administration Hospital in Sepulveda).  He then worked for several years in a group practice as a psychological assistant (Foothills Psychological Associates in Upland, California).

Dr. Howard returned to the central Texas area to complete his licensure.  He has worked in this area ever since.  He worked for three years as a staff psychologist with Riverwood Professional Center, an outpatient clinic of the San Marcos Treatment Center.  In December 1991, he and several colleagues established their private practice as Cedar Creek Associates.

Dr. Howard divides his professional time between consulting with school systems and private practice.  For the past fifteen years, he has been a consulting psychologist with the Caldwell County Special Education Cooperative.  At Cedar Creek, he has a broad, general private practice.  He sees school-age children, adolescents, and adults.  He deals with a broad range of issues – including behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescence, depression and other mood disorders, struggles in dealing with life difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and marital/couples problems.

In his private life, Dr. Howard enjoys family activities.  He is a sports fan (but not as much as in his younger days).  He is also an avid reader and movie-goer.
