Getting to know Tomia Bowden

Hi there, I'm Tomia! My name is Tomia Bowden, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Los Angeles area, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I work with adults experiencing various mental health difficulties and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues, to name a few. Utilizing a humanistic approach, I focus on helping you develop a strong and healthy sense of self through exploring feelings and enhancing strengths. My approach I meet clients exactly where they are, providing empathy and support while focusing on what is positive. My focus I primarily work with adults. I find that my direct and straightforward approach works best with adults navigating various situations, changes, and challenges. My communication style My communication style is direct, straightforward, and non-judgmental. I want my clients to feel comfortable being themselves and expressing themselves openly. My journey to therapy After suffering for many years from addiction, low self-esteem, and depression, I found myself in need of help. Through treatment and therapy, I discovered my calling: helping others. Nothing has fulfilled me more than supporting others on their journey toward self-actualization. My goals for you I work with clients to determine what they want to accomplish in therapy. I encourage setting realistic goals and taking small daily steps toward them. My first session with you Our first session will focus on developing a therapeutic relationship and building trust. I will ask exploratory questions to understand why you have chosen therapy at this time. I will listen empathetically, ensure you never feel judged, and answer any questions you may have.
