Dr. Robert Bowman, LPC, LPCC

Robert Bowman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings years of experience teaching and practicing counseling to his work with clients. He holds a master’s degree in counseling and completed doctoral work at Purdue University, and his students often refer to him as Dr. Bob. As a university professor he taught counseling skills to hundreds of counselors in training, and he has worked as a counselor in both community and educational settings.

Dr. Bowman blends person-centered and cognitive approaches to create a collaborative, empathic environment where clients can explore problems, hopes, goals, and values. He emphasizes an honest, genuine therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and prefers to tailor methods to each person rather than follow a fixed formula. Because the person-centered stance prioritizes understanding a situation from the client’s point of view, he is able to work with people from a wide range of cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds.

He has experience working with teens, college students, adults, and couples on topics such as divorce, relationships and intimacy, stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. When working with someone, he begins by building a respectful, warm relationship to clarify concerns and desired outcomes, then develops practical plans to address problems or pursue opportunities. Clients can expect warmth, respect, and good humor as they work together toward forward movement.
