Joshua Bowman, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with clients of all ages on the issues that separate them from meaningful connection with themselves and others. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and groups, and I take an existential approach to dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. As a counselor, I believe in the intrinsic worth of each human being and I would like to offer my assistance and support in helping to empower you to achieve your highest self.
With gentle encouragement and the space to explore, I hope to be a valuable partner in the exercise of your skills and creativity as you face whatever challenges are presenting themselves in this moment and the moments to come.

3 Things to Know I was talking about my book with a friend the other week at a birthday party we were both attending. He asked me what makes Become ALIVE different from any of the other resources out there? I admit, I was a little caught off guard and struggled to answer the question…
