Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Upstream Mental Health
Psychologist, Ph.D., PsyD, LMHC, LCAT-LP
We’re firm believers that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.
Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why we take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. We take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. We also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. Our goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy.
We also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, we take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
We specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.

Leslie Bowman, Holistic Psychotherapist
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, Over 17 years of successful experience
Open to a more holistic approach to therapy? Feel lost? Feel stuck? Having a hard time coping with a recent trauma? Going through a life transition? Unlike regular talk therapy sessions, which may focus on surface issues and provide short term comfort, my holistic approach dives deeper for longer-term healing. My unique approach addresses the body, mind, and soul as they are all connected in the healing process. I have over 17 years of experience in helping clients with relationship issues, personal growth, trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, abuse, eating disorders, personality disorders and career development. In addition to my MA, I have studied neuroscience, nutrition and epigenetics. I am passionate in making a difference in the lives of my clients. I use a supportive, empathic and holistic approach to help guide our work in a collaborative environment. Counseling services are tailored to each client.
