Hello My name is Gerquel Bowman. I am a LPC who enjoys helping others. I have been a License Professional Counselor for 2 years. The population I served are children, adolescents and adults.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character. I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other.

Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine. What influences me to do the work do is striving be the best person I can be and helping others to do the same. I grew up as a Army brat as my Dad was in the Army and he retired after 20 years in the service. I got to see the world and the country and that has shaped my world views.

Therapy is like using a GPS when driving. You are in the driver's seat so to speak and I am like the GPS.

Let me help get you where you want to be.
