Patricia Bowers, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a strength-based therapist for more than 10 years, I assist clients with achieving emotional balance by providing compassion and unconditional acceptance to form a genuine therapeutic connection. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood or personality disorders. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I have been trained in a range of modalities to provide individualized treatment. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on individual client needs. As a strength-based Therapist, I focus on supporting clients to use their inner resources to overcome challenges, understand and recognize areas of growth, and build resilience and a greater sense of well-being. I feel that it is important to have flexibility in treatment methods, especially when working with trauma, anxiety, and other complex issues. I utilize modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Person-Centered Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy as a few of my theoretical approaches. My focus I treat individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) who have been through a traumatic event or who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood or personality disorders. My communication style My communication style is warm, kind, supportive, and direct. I listen actively and respond with empathy and compassion. I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable talking with me about anything and know they are being seen and heard without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare As a former Community-based Social Worker, I was driven by a desire to help others. I developed a passion for mental health that shaped my understanding of the emotional struggles that affect people and negatively impact their lives.
