Hello! I’m Toi Bowers. Are you feeling overwhelmed or a bit lost? Life can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it on your own. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. I believe that healing happens through connection and support, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

WHO I WORK WITH

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or the ups and downs of big life changes, I'm here to listen, understand, and support you. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back, whether it’s past experiences, uncertainties about the future, or just the stress of everyday life. My passion for holistic wellness drives me to help you find balance and healing while honoring your unique story.

WORKING WITH ME

We’ll take things at your pace, using a mix of approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. It’s all about finding what works best for you as we navigate the hard stuff together.

I see therapy as a partnership where you can dive into your experiences, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies that truly resonate with you. I’m here to offer a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. It takes courage to open up, and I’m committed to supporting you at a pace that feels right for you.

FUN FACTS

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, hiking in nature, or visiting museums and art galleries. And yes, I definitely enjoy relaxing with a delicious bowl of pho or ramen or belting out some tunes during karaoke!

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

You deserve to start feeling better! If you have more questions or want to talk with us first, feel free to reach out.
