Counseling

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY WITH MINDFULNESS

I offer integrative counseling that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices to support real, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify and shift limiting thought patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical tools to manage stress in your daily life.

Each session includes personalized strategies you can use outside of therapy—helping you regulate your nervous system, respond with intention, and move forward with clarity and confidence. This approach is designed to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered in the face of life’s challenges.

Areas of Specialization: Women, Teens, Couples, Infidelity, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Stress, Trauma and PTSD, Lifestyle Changes, Spirituality

Couples Counseling

I offer couples counseling in a supportive, non-judgmental space where both partners can feel heard, respected, and understood. Whether you’re navigating infidelity, high conflict, co-parenting challenges, premarital questions, or considering separation or divorce, our work focuses on helping you move forward with clarity and intention.

Together, we’ll identify patterns that keep you stuck and introduce practical tools to improve communication, rebuild trust, and manage conflict in healthier ways. You’ll learn how to listen more effectively, express needs with confidence, and respond rather than react—creating space for real change.

This process is not about taking sides, but about helping you understand each other more deeply and decide what your path forward looks like—whether that’s repairing and strengthening your relationship or navigating a respectful transition apart.

herbal consultation

Rebalancing the physical body with remedies from Mother Nature.

This service is offered as a one on one experience to review any specific symptoms or ailments that you might be experiencing and to understand your challenges and current lifestyle habits to create a customized plan and/or herbal formulas specifically curated for you as an individual.

During your first consult we will review any relevant symptoms, diagnosis, family history, dietary patterns, movement patterns and any prior treatments that may not have worked for you.

Following your session, you’ll receive your customized herbal remedy and lifestyle suggestions.

After your first consult and possibly beginning a new herbal remedy, it’s recommended to follow up on progress so there is an option to schedule secondary sessions for this purpose.

Note: Herbalism is not licensed by the state of Florida. My services are complementary in nature. These consultations are for educational purposes only, and do not replace the services of a licensed physician. Nikki Bowen is not a Medical Doctor, and does not diagnose or treat disease. Herbal consultations cannot be paired with counseling work.

yoga therapy

While many counselors use talk therapy only, I believe that our bodies tell our story.  There’s extensive research to show that our traumas can lead to physical blocks in our body and sometimes even present as illness.  There’s a great author, Dr. Peter Levine, who has researched somatic movement.  Essentially, the idea is that when an animal experiences trauma in nature, such as a bear who is running from being tranquilized, the bear wakes up and physically finishes running and therefore physically finishes playing out the experience.  As humans, we lean into the more logical side of our brains and try to think our way through trauma.  At the end of the day, everything comes down to an energetic exchange.  Very intense energetic experiences can cause blockages in our physical and energetic bodies.  Yoga can aid in connecting the mind and the body, to be present and safe in our own skin and to help move those experiences through our bodies.  Another great book on this material is “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel Vanderkolk.  This offering can be paired with counseling or reiki or it is a great option all on it’s own if this is your starting point.  Sometimes movement is more accessible than talk therapy (traditional counseling) and is completely normal if someone has experienced a traumatic life changing event.

energy work

REIKI

I offer Reiki energy healing and sound bath experiences designed to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and energetic balance. These sessions create a restorative space where your body and mind can reset, helping to release stress, quiet mental noise, and reconnect you with a sense of inner harmony.

Emerging research continues to explore how brainwave patterns, nervous system states, and physiological rhythms influence mental and emotional well-being. From this perspective, many mental health challenges can be understood as patterns of dysregulation—where the body and mind become “out of sync.” Through Reiki and sound healing, we work gently to support a return to balance.

Reiki is a subtle, energy practice that promotes relaxation and supports the body’s natural healing processes. Sound baths use therapeutic frequencies and vibrations—such as crystal singing bowls and chimes—to help guide the brain into slower, more restorative states, similar to meditation.

Together, these modalities offer a deeply calming, immersive experience that can help reduce stress, support emotional release, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Each session is intuitive, personalized, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.

astrology & Tarot READING

When most people think of astrology, they think of your daily horoscope.  When we are each born, there are an array of planetary and cosmic alignments which offer us wonderful insight into our life paths and patterns.  This is not a prediction of the future but rather a roadmap to the soul.   In his later years, Carl Jung, actually used natal birth charts to help his clients uncover subconscious challenges they were facing but maybe weren’t even aware of in how their daily actions, choices, or decisions were playing out.  The birth chart is displayed in a wheel-like shape which contains all 12 zodiac signs which govern houses that represent different areas of our lives such as the physical self and personality, finances, partnerships, communication, spirituality and so forth.  Within these houses you’ll find planetary and asteroid placements which speak to one another to tell your unique blueprint in this lifetime.  I use astrology as a tool to help clients explore their evolutionary soul path.  This can be coupled with counseling and I also couple it with a tarot card where appropriate.  The tarot is a wonderful tool which is a language of itself that is designed to help reflect the energy that we are currently experiencing toward a certain situation, relationship, decision, or thought pattern.  Please see unique offerings in the booking page if that is of interest to you.

NOTE: Asrtrology sessions CANNOT BE CANCELLED as there is preliminary work that goes into researching your birth chart and pre-requisite material that needs to be prepared prior to the session. However, you are able to reschedule the session up to 12 hours before your appointment time by texting Nikki (813) 682-7041.
