Bowen Center Clinic
Our clinic is currently not accepting applications. You may contact coaches listed on this page and/or on the Coaching Page for information on Bowen Center faculty members who maintain private practices.
The Bowen Center Clinic works to provide affordable consultation to individuals and families. All inquiries are welcome. Some of the personal dilemmas people bring to the Bowen Center Clinic include anxiety, depression, physical illness, marital discord, behavioral problems, family relationship dilemmas, and workplace difficulties.
Our therapeutic approach is based on the work of Murray Bowen, MD. Dr. Bowen used the term “coaching” to describe psychotherapy based in Bowen theory. Bowen Clinic coaches do not tell clients what to do or how to solve problems but ask questions that ideally provoke the client’s best thinking and help to place the current dilemma in a broader context.
The Bowen Center Clinic also participates in occasional research projects conducted by the Bowen Center. This research is led by clinic coaches and other Bowen Center faculty. Participation in a clinic study is not required to receive services, but many choose to participate as they are encouraged by their own experience and the potential to help others. Participation in research may include additional diagrams and assessments.
What to Expect and Consider
Sessions are 50 minutes, take place via video, and are available weekdays and evenings.
The Bowen Center Clinic is a nonprofit entity and operates on a sliding scale fee payment structure. As such, insurance is not accepted. Fees range from $10 to $175 per hour depending on annual income and number of dependents. Payment is expected at the end of each session via PayPal.
While many people initially prefer weekly or bimonthly appointments, they quickly learn that the real effort lies outside the clinical hour in their important relationships, and may decide to have clinic sessions less frequently.
Bowen theory clinic coaches include:
Seasoned clinicians with a high level of training and years of experience in studying human behavior,
Seasoned clinicians with high level of training in psychotherapy who are newer to Bowen theory coaching and work with a supervisor, and
Interns who are newer to clinical applications of Bowen theory coaching and who work with a supervisor.
Openings in the clinic depend on the availability of coaches, licensure location requirements, and/or languages spoken.
