About Me

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn Bowie, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in Texas, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin. I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief, burnout, and religious/spiritual concerns. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are new to the process of identifying and exploring difficult emotions. Often, people follow certain life scripts and achieve personal and professional success, only to feel stuck during a major transition like a divorce, loss, or unexpected change. These moments, while disorienting, can also open the door to meaningful emotional growth. If you’re someone who typically approaches life intellectually or through action, learning to slow down and connect with your emotional experience can feel overwhelming. I will meet you where you are—often beginning in that familiar cognitive space—and gently walk with you toward discovering and understanding the deeper emotional layers that may have gone unrecognized.

My Approach

I believe that meaningful growth begins with authentic connection. My approach is grounded in theoretical orientations including person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy for individuals, and mindful self-compassion. These frameworks allow me to tailor our work together to meet your unique needs and goals.

In our first few sessions, I'll take time to understand who you are, what you value, and the challenges you're facing. My style is conversational and relational—I genuinely invest in the people I work with. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your struggles and create actionable steps toward healing and growth.

What Makes My Practice Unique

I’m deeply committed to learning and continually expanding my understanding of people, the world, and the complex challenges we face in today’s society. Whether through reading, listening to podcasts, or staying updated on emerging research in psychology, I strive to bring the most current insights to my practice. This commitment to growth enables me to offer you informed, ethical, and intentional care.

I hold the ethics of this profession in the highest regard. I understand the profound trust you place in me when you share your most personal struggles, and I approach this responsibility with care, respect, and intentionality.

Why I Do This Work

I find immense fulfillment in supporting people as they navigate life’s most challenging questions and experiences. I have a deep respect for individuals who strive to heal, grow, and improve their lives. It’s an honor to walk alongside you on this journey and to witness the strength and resilience you bring to the process.

Next Steps

If you’re ready to begin or continue your journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
