Katie Bowers, LMSW

Therapist

Katie Bowers is a licensed master social worker who believes that our mindset, relationships, experiences, and larger societal systems shape our lives. When you work with Katie, you can expect to work collaboratively to understand your story and feel empowered to shape your future.

Katie utilizes several therapeutic modalities (such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy [ACT], Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [CBT], mindfulness, positive psychology, solution-focused, and person-centered) with psychoeducation to help clients develop their skills and systems to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Her therapeutic practice is informed by relational, psychodynamic, feminist, and queer theory. Katie has also worked as a community organizer for 10+ years. She can provide specialized support to those in leadership and social change positions looking to prevent and/or heal from burnout, stress, and secondary trauma.

Before becoming a social worker, Katie worked in outdoor education. She believes strongly in the healing benefits of being in nature and is happy to work with interested clients to incorporate that into their therapeutic journey.

Katie graduated from Hunter College with a Master of Social Work degree. During her training, she worked with young people who were organizing to improve their communities.

Katie currently accepts clients with Excellus BC/BS and on a private pay basis. Updates will be posted on our website as she becomes credentialed with additional insurance companies. A sliding scale is available for those who may have difficulty paying out of pocket. Payment is due at the time of service.

Please note: Katie is currently available for telehealth appointments on Mondays through Fridays during the evenings. Please contact Katie to confirm her exact availability.
