James Bowen

Hi I’m James (they/them). I am currently accepting sliding-scale clients at $10-$100 depending on what you can afford. I am doing in-person work, or virtual (in PA).

I am available for short-term therapy (through April), with a focus on somatic experiencing: a type of therapy can support you to build capacity to show up in the world and in your body the way you want to.

Somatic experiencing (SE) explores ways our bodies hold stress, overwhelm, and trauma patterns. By bringing awareness to these patterns and learning new tools, you can shift the patterns held in your body that are no longer serving you.

Somatic experiencing is geared towards resolving trauma held in the body. It can be used to address specific events/trauma, ongoing stressors, or to build resilience in a more general way.

If you aren’t interested in somatic therapy and would prefer someone to talk and process with, I’m also down for that.

I draw upon my background in harm reduction, clinical herbalism, and personal experiences with physical and mental health struggles.
My practice focuses on supporting queer and trans communities. I’m currently working towards a masters degree in social work from Smith College.
