Howard Butt IV has been serving the behavioral health community of Austin, Texas for more than 10 years. Since graduating from Southern Methodist University, he has worked alongside therapists, mentors and other experienced clinicians, supporting hundreds of clients through issues ranging from depression and anxiety, to bipolar disorder, to alcoholism and substance abuse.
Howard has found great joy and purpose in working one-on-one with clients, providing the types of long-term, life-changing support that leads to enduring hope, growth and recovery. His passion for this work is rooted in his own personal experience of overcoming life’s struggles. Over the years, Howard has worked with multiple providers and a range of treatment facilities including trauma recovery work, dialectical behavior therapy, personal coaching and family programming, giving him the knowledge to ascertain which were helpful and which were harmful. He understands first-hand the unique strengths (as well as pressures) that arise from being from an influential family and accountable to many.
In 2014, Howard founded a robust behavioral health center in Austin using the Innovation360 model of providing case management, therapy, family support and coaching.
At Lumos, Howard’s focus has narrowed to building a best-in-class mentorship and coaching program. He will also connect his clients to a full spectrum of services. Howard has seen and experienced how this approach leads to long-term wellness, recovery, and a brighter future.
