A Thoughtful Alternative
The Bowen Center Clinic offers affordable psychotherapy to individuals and families and consultation to organizations.
People from all walks of life seek assistance with their personal dilemmas. Anxiety, depression, physical illness, marital discord, behavioral problems, family relationship dilemmas, and workplace difficulties are some of the problems people bring to the clinic.
Those consulting with clinic therapists take up the challenge of thinking in new ways about the difficult situations they face and of accepting responsibility for the direction of their own lives. While many people initially prefer weekly appointments, they quickly learn that the real effort lies outside the clinical hour in their important relationships, and they have clinic sessions less frequently.
The Bowen Center operates via video meetings through the following listed Bowen Theory Clinicians.
Appointments are available weekdays and evenings.

Clinicians
What to Expect
The clinician brings a high level of training and years of experience in studying human behavior.
The clinician does not tell the client what to do or how to solve problems but asks questions that ideally provoke the client’s best thinking and help to place the current dilemma in a broader context.
The clinical hour provides time for the client to devote his or her best thinking and energy to working on self in the broader context of important relationships.
Fees
The Bowen Center Clinic is nonprofit. A sliding scale fee is available for people with limited financial resources and for those affected by the ever-changing constraints of insurance and managed care. The fee scale, based on annual income, number of dependents, and insurance benefits, ranges from $10 to $175 per hour.
The Clinic is a fee-for-service center. Payment is expected at the end of each session.
Please review your insurance benefits and restrictions before you call. Statements are generated monthly.
