Enika Cocoli Bowen, Ph.D.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice. I work with adults who seek help for relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, attention deficits, substance useabuse, traumas big and small, and many other questions that come up in daily life. An open and honest dialogue is possible in an atmosphere of listening and thinking. Our sessions are private and confidential. Talking things out is the first and easiest ways to identify the root causes of many problems. Thinking things through is like putting together a puzzle. You might already know what the final picture will be and getting there is a very fruitful journey.

After an introductory call, we meet in person in my private office, located in a very quiet and discreet neighborhood, where your privacy and confidentiality are well protected. If you live and work nearby, we meet in person. If you live far away, or anywhere in the United States, we meet remotely. Through PsyPact, I am authorized to work with anyone from most areas of the United States. Check out this link to see if your state or area is included: https:psypact.orgmpagepsypactmap.

The most beautiful feature of the human mind is its strength to tackle every issue that comes to its attention, whether a small event, a big trauma, or a mental health diagnosis. Different issues require different attention; however, strengthening your mental and thinking capacities will lift all symptoms and bring about improvements you can count on.

Throughout many years of experience, I have found that the best way to help you and help yourself is to bring together all areas of your life in the fullest and most complete picture. This takes some time and therapy done this way is not a quick fix. In the first few sessions, we will focus on getting to know many aspects of yourself. Afterwards, we will deepen our understanding of all areas.

All of us struggle in our lives; some struggle a lot, some struggle a little, but we all know what struggles are. In therapy, I try to understand these struggles within the frame of your whole self. I don't consider disorders as labels and I have found that people, including myself, don't like to be labeled. This is why in session, we focus less on the disorder and more on how we can make meaning of what is going on. We decide together in dialogue on best ways to improve the situation. I fall back on the same principle: The therapeutic space is your space and you have a lot of say in what goes on in there. Let's keep working at it. We'll find the way out.
