DR. ART BOWLER

My empathy, compassion, talent, and humor began when I was a very young child.  I was always curious, always inventive, creative, considerate, and empathic.   My childhood was filled with sports, music, and the piano, as well as writing books, entering music and art contests, and writing songs.  

​

I grew up in a multicultural community in Mineola on Long Island, New York.  I learned early that I wanted to be the best at what I would become, and once I identified the idea that I wanted to help people within the field of psychology, I knew that attaining my doctorate was the goal I wished to achieve.  Attaining my Bachelor of Science from the University of Scranton in 1994 and then my doctorate at Wright State University in Ohio iin 1998 were the ways I chose to reach them.  

​

Since that time, 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 worked to help people.

​

Over my life people have complimented me on my humor, compassion, and intellect.  I look forward to showing you how I make use these traits in therapy with you.
