Craig Bowman, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Craig!

I bring compassion and empathy from both professional and personal experience. My aim is to create a safe space by valuing you unconditionally and guiding you toward improved self-awareness and self-compassion.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals dealing with addiction, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, dual diagnosis, life transitions, self-esteem, and spirituality. My focus is on helping you navigate these challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth.

My approach

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Transpersonal approaches. I tailor my therapeutic approach to best fit your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

I communicate with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows for open and honest dialogue. I aim to be an attentive listener and an engaged partner in your therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to mental healthcare has been shaped by a lifelong desire to foster genuine human connection and emotional well-being. Personal trials have deepened my capacity for compassion and understanding, instilling a strong commitment to supporting others on their paths to healing and self-discovery.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and self-awareness needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life. I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, enabling positive changes and a greater sense of meaning and purpose.

Our first session

Our first session will be an intake where you'll discuss aspects of yourself and your situation through open and closed-ended questions. Together, we'll establish goals and schedule our next session if you'd like to continue.
