We don’t come into this world with a guidebook and at times our upbringing fails to equip us emotionally for the journey ahead. This combined with life stressors and lack of support can make it difficult to navigate challenges that come our way and can negatively impact our mental health. Our minds can feel like a runaway train, our bodies run on auto pilot and relationships are left strained. Depression and anxiety can set in, leaving us helpless and overwhelmed. Emotional injuries may show up as difficulty trusting others, expressing or regulating emotions, or solving problems.

None of us are able to escape transition. Our relationships change, our families change, our environments change, and our bodies change. Whether the change we experience is welcome, abrupt, devastating, or a mix of many feelings, we must leave the familiar when it comes. Growth happens when we walk forward and integrate our new awareness and adapt to the new era that we are entering. Sometimes this growth needs more support than we anticipate. Flourishing is possible, but we can feel stuck in our journey to get to it.

Asking for help can be difficult. We often think "I should be able to handle my problems myself". However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, job stress, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or everyday stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices.

Feeling paralyzed by overwhelming emotions, lack of direction, or lingering effects of past traumas?

I believe in the power of collaborating with clients to help them achieve their goals for a fulfilling life. I have helped thousands of individuals and couples figure out their path, including pre-marriage, marriage counseling, separation, divorce and blended families. These are big questions and struggles mixed with complex and difficult questions. I also work with individuals living with depression, anxiety and hopelessness. I won't judge you and you can ask questions in a safe, secure environment with a caring professional. I uniquely understand the legal issues around divorce and how to emotionally navigate that path.

At GENEX, Rae Bowerman (pronouns they/them) utilizes trauma-informed therapeutic modalities and approaches in their psychotherapy work, prioritizing an overarching gender-expansive awareness, respect, and validation. Rae believes the key to a solid, productive, trusting therapeutic relationship comes from acknowledging each client as unique, the expert of their own experiences; this is the foundation of each and every therapeutic interaction at GENEX. Soothing drinks, tasty treats, comfy pillows, a calm friendly goldendoodle named Ruby, and a refreshingly unconventional therapist all are here when you're ready to schedule.

I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and families in ways that promote positive changes and ultimately improve relationships. I believe that healthy relationships are desired by everyone and can be achieved. Helping clients become more self-aware and gain new insight into their unique situation can be powerful. Although I primarily use solution-focused therapy and attachment theory, I am flexible and empathic to the specific needs of each client’s journey to healing. I believe that my clients are the heroes of their stories and that they possess the strength needed to overcome any obstacle they face.

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with.
