Michele Bowen

Michele Bowen is a licensed clinical social worker who emphasizes attachment-based and skills-focused work. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. Michele creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful experiences and begin building more satisfying daily routines.

She has worked in behavioral health since 1994 and holds licenses in Michigan and Indiana. That clinical background includes helping people cope with chronic illness, caregiver strain, dissociation, and complicated loss. Michele often uses mindful practices and somatic techniques alongside talk therapy to help people feel more grounded in their bodies.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories and Motivational Interviewing to support change when addiction or ambivalence is present. Michele tailors methods to each person rather than following a single formula.

In sessions she focuses on practical strategies and small changes that fit everyday life. She works with clients to strengthen communication, reduce panic and mood symptoms, and rebuild trust after abandonment or attachment wounds. Michele highlights strengths and teaches concrete coping skills for overwhelm and shame.

People who choose Michele can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and options for mindfulness and gentle movement if desired. To begin, she asks people to share current concerns and goals so sessions match what matters most to them.
