About

Stephanie Bowman (she/her) is a National Certified Counselor. She earned an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She is currently working to complete a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Adler University.

Stephanie believes that present concerns are rooted in patterns that began in the past. She enjoys working with adults and couples, those who have experienced childhood trauma, and marginalized populations. She uses a trauma-informed approach based in Adlerian and psychodynamic counseling theories.

For about a decade, Stephanie was a civil litigator in Chicago, advocating for homeowners in foreclosure. She now sees herself as a mental health advocate and a fellow traveler with her counseling clients.

Stephanie's research interests include empathy and attunement in clinical work, peer mentoring, childhood trauma, and new technologies in counseling.
