My Approach to Helping
Many people come to therapy feeling lost, uncertain, or disconnected from who they are. They are caught between who they have been and who they want to become. Adam Bowen believes that the important work centers on that quest for meaning and purpose, the space of uncertainty, and the pull toward authenticity. He believes that therapy is a space to slow down, explore what truly matters, and rediscover your sense of direction.
During your time together, you will experience therapy as a collaborative exploration meant to help you become curious, be honest, and build a life that feels like yours. Together, you’ll make sense of what’s been holding you back and help you build a life that feels grounded, authentic, and genuinely your own.
