He commonly addresses concerns such as divorce, relationship and intimacy matters, stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. He is also experienced supporting issues related to LGBT matters, family conflicts, parenting, career difficulties, and depression.

If a client chooses Dr. Bowman as a helper and teammate, he begins by building a collaborative relationship to explore the dynamics of the present situation, clarify what the client wants, and develop plans to solve problems or pursue opportunities. Clients can expect to be treated with respect, warmth, and a sense of good humor as they find their way forward together.
