Through 20+ years of experience, I have discovered my passion for working with clients to heal the wounds of abuse or other traumas, work through family-of-origin and attachment issues, liberate from the confines of anxiety/panic/phobias/OCD, repair relational issues, develop effective boundary-drawing, transform self-concept/esteem, and grow to find peace, joy, and purpose. Drawing on a strengths-based approach, I help clients identify and more fully develop the strengths and skills they already have. From that foundation, I utilize various evidence-based therapy modalities, techniques, and interventions to help clients heal, find wellness, and flourish. I offer a compassionate understanding of who you are, how you show up in the world, and how you experience things. I am nurturing while also able to challenge long-held beliefs and patterns, which may be keeping you stuck or holding you back from the life you want to live.

Accepting New Clients
Hello, I'm Philip Bower, and I am thrilled to share my journey as a mental health professional specializing in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. With over four years of experience, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals cope with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a compassionate and inclusive manner. My passion for this work stems from a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. I pursued my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, which equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective therapeutic support. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in various settings, including community mental health centers, LGBTQIA+ organizations, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to witness the strength and resilience of individuals within this community while also acknowledging the systemic barriers they face. In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe and accepting space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered. I recognize that each person's journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to their specific needs and goals. My therapeutic toolbox includes evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused modalities. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic alliance, I work alongside my clients to explore their emotions, identify patterns and triggers, develop coping strategies, and promote their overall well-being. I believe in the power of self-compassion, resilience, and personal growth, and I strive to instill these values in the individuals I support. Being a Mental Health Professional (MHP) has allowed me to integrate my passion for social justice and mental health advocacy. I am committed to creating a more inclusive and affirming society for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. If you are seeking a supportive and understanding therapist who specializes in LGBTQIA+ mental health, and can provide assistance with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, or PTSD, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, heard, and celebrated as your authentic self.
