Lakesha Bowie, Marriage and Family Therapist
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Gainesville, FL
Online & In-Person
About me
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships, and more with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world.
I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative. My therapy style is warm and interactive. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, rational-emotive therapy, trauma-informed, and more. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health.
