Getting to know Charmayne Bowens

Hi there, I'm Charmayne! I take a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy, focusing on empowering individuals to navigate life's complexities, especially around anxiety, trauma, and grief. I create a safe, nurturing space where clients feel supported on their healing journey. I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, implement coping skills, and set healthy boundaries in personal and professional relationships. My primary focus is working with women, particularly those managing anxiety, perinatal mental health, and depression, guiding them toward mental and emotional balance. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from California State University, San Bernardino, which has equipped me to support individuals and families through various challenges. My approach I strive to create a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. I work collaboratively, guiding clients to discover solutions aligned with their values and experiences. Each person is unique, so I tailor methods to meet their needs, helping develop self-awareness, resilience, and healthier coping mechanisms for lasting growth and well-being. I primarily use CBT to assist clients in recognizing and reframing negative thought patterns affecting emotions and behaviors. This helps achieve greater emotional regulation and healthier choices. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), emphasizing clear goals and practical solutions to current issues, allowing clients to build on strengths and move forward effectively. My focus I typically work with women aged 18 and older navigating anxiety, trauma, and grief. Many clients manage life transitions, such as perinatal mental health concerns.
