Helping adults, parents, and professionals in Illinois heal anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges — through a personalized, compassionate, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) – informed approach.

Courtney Bowman therapist

Strong. Warm. Clear. Therapy that helps you come home to yourself.

Life can be overwhelming. You might be navigating deep stress, emotional exhaustion, or a transition that has shaken your sense of stability. You may find yourself constantly caring for others, but unsure how to prioritize yourself. If you’re feeling anxious, shut down, stuck, or simply off — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

I’m Courtney Bowman, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nearly 20 years of experience helping people reconnect to their calm, compassionate center —helping people reconnect to their calm, compassionate and wise center.  My clients describe me as sturdy, calm, and kind. My practice is intentionally small so I can offer the warmth, personal attention, and support that’s often missing in large group practices.

The Motherhood Paradox

“Be a present parent. Be a high performer. Be calm. Be productive. Be everything, all the time.”

Many parents — especially mothers — are quietly carrying the impossible expectations placed on them by society. If you’re feeling guilt, resentment, anxiety, or failure in the face of these demands, I see you. You’re not broken. You’re responding to an unsustainable system.
