Julia Bowman
Julia Bowman, LPC, CST

Licensed Professional Counselor, AASECT and SHA Certified Sex Therapist

Hello and Welcome, I'm Julia Bowman! Many people experience shame or discomfort in their relationships, preferences, sexuality, or orientation. I enjoy helping individuals and couples who may be struggling in these areas. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth. I have completed the Sexual Health Alliance Certificate Program in Sex Therapy, and I tend to utilize integrative approaches with clients. Being able to draw from multiple techniques and modalities lets me cater treatment to each individual client's unique needs. I graduated from Capella with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and have also attended human trafficking training.

It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. I have lived in Austin for almost my entire life. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these topics.

In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with friends, immersing myself in video games, and exploring various creative outlets such as arts and crafts and painting. I also find joy and relaxation in caring for plants and tending to my garden.
