Michelle Bobowick - Clearwater Associates, LLC

I work with individuals across the lifespan providing individual, and family therapy. My doctoral training in psychology emphasized psychodynamic and narrative therapy with adults, children, and adolescents. Following graduate school, I participated in an intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (a form of cognitive behavioral therapy), and provided DBT treatment exclusively for approximately five years. I continued to incorporate DBT into my work with clients as needed or when requested. In addition, I am a Trained Teacher in Mindful Self-Compassion. I am passionate about the work that I do, and feel much gratitude and appreciation to my clients for allowing me to travel alongside them. Together we build a relationship founded on warmth, honesty and authenticity. Personal growth requires openness to change and willingness to learn new approaches to dealing with life’s challenges. And I know and respect that applying new and unfamiliar strategies requires commitment, guidance, and patience. It is my hope that over the course of therapy clients will learn to celebrate and love themselves for their own uniqueness, and also feel a greater sense of freedom and possibility in their lives.
