I am someone who believes in hope. I believe that people who feel stuck can come to a place where they feel unstuck. I have experience in working with substance use disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, couples work, grief, as well as with ages ranging from 4 to those in the last stages of life. We all have our own stuff, and it is a privilege to be able to work with someone who has a need/desire to increase their sense of self or well-being in whichever area they feel needs to be addressed and/or support someone through a difficult season of life. It's a honor to help others.

Always goes above and beyond for our family. My husband and I wouldn’t know what to do without him. Very understanding and helps you see things from a different Perspective

Derek has been amazing. I was extremely hesitant to use therapy, as I had bad experiences in my past. Derek has been patient, and very understanding of this. I was nervous about speaking with a male (I am female), but he made it so easy and natural. He has definitely made me more confident in this experience, and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish through this process.

Derek is extremely knowledgeable and professional. His demeanor is warm and he very obviously cares about all of his clients. He has helped me and my girlfriend in every regard to become better partners for each other. Could not recommend him enough!

Dr. Bowers is the first therapist I've ever had and I couldn't have asked for a better one. He is patient, articulate, and understanding.
