About
Hello, my name is Michelle Bowes. I am an independently licensed couple and family therapist supervisor and professional clinical counselor supervisor practicing for 13 years. I have a Ph.D. in counseling education and supervision with an emphasis in couple’s and family therapy. I work with individuals, couples, and families and have practiced in several different environments (community mental health, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, private practice, and academia). I also bring much life experience to my work. I have lived in several locations all around the country, including Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and I currently live in Ohio. I have been married for thirty-two years and am active in my community with greyhound rescue. Outside of work, I like to walk for exercise and practice Pilates.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, client centered, and eclectic, as I feel you are the author of your own life and have free will to make decisions; however, I will be there to guide, encourage, support and challenge you. I use several theories to guide me based upon the presenting problem and the needs of each individual client, but the most important element for growth and evolution in this context is the therapeutic relationship itself. I will work hard to learn your needs, to validate you as a human being, to empathize with you, and to provide a safe, trusting environment for your individual growth.
Seeking help through therapy shows your courage and I applaud you in taking this first step toward creating a healthier and happier life. I am here to join you on your journey.
