Getting to know Dr. Krystal Bowen

Hi there, I'm Krystal! I am a Licensed Psychologist in LA, CA, with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University. I believe therapy is not a sign that something is deeply wrong with you personally, but sometimes we reach a stuck point-emotionally or mentally-and we do not know why. Therapy helps uncover those stuck points to get you back on track. I have a deep interest in helping individuals gain perspective and other tools to navigate life's challenges. I focus on doing the mental and heart work to ensure you are equipped to live at your highest potential. My approach I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy that allows me to draw from various forms of treatment to fit the needs of each individual. I am skilled at using CBT, ACT, Client-Centered, Trauma-Focused Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused, Emotional Processing, just to name a few. Most times, I use psychodynamic work to uncover unconscious thoughts, motives, and behaviors to gain a deeper understanding of our psyche and actions. My focus I have experience and training working with young, middle, and older adults who present with emotional distress, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, substance use disorders, and those who have experienced a traumatic event. My communication style I provide the space to process emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, gain perspective, and learn new details and nuances about themselves and their circumstances. I do not offer therapy by pretending I know all the answers or as the expert in your life; the goal is to help you discover the answers while I walk beside you in the process. Therapy with me is a process of discovery and enlightenment. Once we discover, we can move into the therapeutic space of change. My journey to therapy I have always been intrigued by the psyche and how our experiences shape us. These experiences produce adaptive and nonadaptive behaviors, which cause people to be stuck, either cognitively or emotionally.
