ABOUT ME
Pretty much my entire life I have been listening to and helping people. As a licensed clinical psychologist, consultant, and health coach I am a friendly and engaging person who knows how to use psychotherapeutic principles to help bring about change fast. I believe one of the ways we reach goals is by reaching within to harness the power you've been avoiding. I will work to help you figure out your problem patterns and turn them into smart solutions that might make you happier. I appreciate the value of self-awareness because it makes us more grateful and makes living easier.
I began counseling fellow students with peer counseling in both middle school and high school, and was a drug and alcohol educator and worked in a psychological laboratory while in college performing psychological experiments. As a kid at piano lessons I would always have to wait with the teachers' elderly mom while she was finishing up with other students, and we used to sit on her stoop outside and talk in Mineola, New York. I always loved talking with but hearing people's stories as a listener who then offers my view has always come naturally and is where I am most comfortable. Today as I psychologist, I still feel like I am sitting on the stoop with my piano teachers' mom. My life experiences have continued to grow myself as an empathic person, and becoming a doctor of psychology by age 25 was really the achievement of a long-term goal.
Helping people better themselves through the art and science of psychotherapy via empirically proven and clinically mastered psychological practices is enjoyable to me. This may sound strange to you, but I find it like being a detective. How did you turn out as you did? Now a licensed psychologist for over twenty years and working in field for about thirty, I have been rewarded both personally and professionally by working with people like you, learning their stories, and helping them be and get better as functioning people.
I have practiced in private practice, community clinics, university counseling centers, inpatient treatment centers, residential recovery settings, nursing homes, and substance use disorder and obesity inpatient rehabilitation centers and have trained countless clinicians through my writings and presentations. I love this field. The University of Southern California (USC), AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), The Claremont Colleges Consortium, Pasadena City College, the Van Ness Recovery House, Glendale Memorial Hospital Inpatient Substance Use Disorder Rehabilitationi Center, Alternatives Treatment Center, the Brookhaven Obesity Clinic, and Horizons Nursing Facility are just some of the places I have practiced my skills.
Along the way, I have cultivated my many other interests: my passions for piano, acting, singing, and songwriting. I am a musician and have published several compositions on all of the digital streaming services under "Dr. Art Bowler". I've placed in the semi-finals two years running with four songs nominated. I'm also amember of the Screen Actors Guild since 1999 and my face has been on tv and in some movies. That's awesome to me. I come from a loving Italian/German/Irish family in New York and love to spend time with them as well. All of my achievements help me to know that you can achieve your goals too with hard work, perseverance, and excellent guidance. I look forward to helping you engage with yourself.
