Getting to know Shenelle Bowman
My name is Shenelle and I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed addiction counselor in the state of South Carolina. I have 17 years of experience in the counseling field that encompasses the following settings: outpatient, inpatient hospitalization, private practice, state/local agencies. I have had the privilege to work with a range of populations from various backgrounds/cultures. My theoretical approach/techniques focus on supporting and assisting clients cultivate living authentically, being their "true self", utilizing their strengths, discovering what makes their life meaningful to help with meeting the challenges of life.
My work as a counselor is rooted in a foundation of Person-Centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral therapy where the client fully experiences the present moment, learning to accept oneself, and deciding ways to change. The client's ability to connect with me will be the number one factor determining how well we work together and how effective their healing will be. I strive to be respectful, authentic, genuine, empathetic, accepting and unconditional. These qualities are the heart of therapy and facilitate a healthy connection that allows true healing to take place. I will provide a safe space in which you are free to explore all your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgement.
I have experienced positive outcomes and symptom reduction with clients affected by anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, loss and substance use. By utilizing evidence-based techniques/therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivation Enhancement Therapy, clients can embrace methods that promote cognitive and behavioral changes.
I am honored and committed to serving as a collaborator on your path of self-discovery and healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
