Getting to know Heather Bowden
I am an outpatient therapist with a Master’s in Social Work from Radford University and experience working with individuals, families, and groups. Whether you are facing a short-term situational obstacle or years of navigating anxiety, low self-worth, survival mode, confusing relationships, or past trauma, we will explore your experience together with validation and compassionate feedback.
Sometimes the answers may be simple—learning new coping skills, reframing a situation, or just having a safe place to tell your story. Other times, the answers are more complex and lead to a deeper dive into the root cause of distress. Though I may not have met you yet, I believe in your capabilities, accept your choices, and respect you as a thoughtful and intelligent person.
What should a new client know about working with you?
It is my hope that after each session, you will feel respected. Often the aim will be to feel better, have more clarity, a little bit of a lighter heart. Sometimes, however, sessions can be hard and it takes moving through it to start to feel better. That is okay, therapy is like that. Regardless having an emotional session or a lighter session - I want you to walk away feeling witnessed as a person who is worthy. Together we will work to discover a balance in your life between validation and resilience - striving for self-compassion, hope, and ownership.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
