Hi, I’m nikki bowen
LMHC , 200RYT, Certified Family Court Mediator
Therapy with me is a balance of depth, authenticity, and humanity. I believe meaningful healing does not have to happen in a cold or overly clinical space. While I hold space for the hard things such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, burnout, and life transitions, I also bring warmth, humor, and lightness into the process because healing often happens when people feel safe enough to breathe, laugh, and fully be themselves.
Before transitioning into the counseling field, I worked in the corporate world, which gives me a unique understanding of the pressure, expectations, perfectionism, and mental load many high-achieving professionals carry every day. I work especially well with individuals who appear successful on the outside yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, burned out, or stuck in cycles they cannot seem to break.
My approach blends evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic work to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and behaviors. I take a collaborative, solution-focused approach and work with clients to create individualized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs, goals, and patterns. I believe clients should begin learning practical tools from the very first session so they leave therapy not only feeling supported, but empowered with skills they can begin using immediately in everyday life.
Outside of counseling, I’m usually spending time with my own grounding committee: Jupiter, my goofy Great Dane, Toto, my tiny but opinionated Shih Tzu, and Stitch, my cat who operates somewhere between emotional support and tiny house supervisor. They are daily reminders that connection, regulation, and comfort often live in the simplest moments.
