About Bowden
I received my Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree in Counseling Psychology in 1983 from the University of Central Oklahoma and my Bachelor’s degree in 1981 from Oklahoma State University. In addition, I have studied at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I have been in the counseling field for over 26 years. My work experience includes serving as an Associate Pastor/Church Counselor from 1983-1984 and working as a therapist in a Community Mental Health Center in 1985. From 1986 to 1996 I worked in Inpatient (psychiatric hospital) settings in both therapeutic and administrative roles. I have been in private practice in Tulsa since 1996.

What is Christian Counseling?
Secular counselors are trained not to bring their values into the therapy room. They attempt to be neutral with everyone in every situation. This allows situational ethics to prevail and whatever a person chooses is OK as long as they “feel” better. Christian counseling proclaims it’s underlying values: Christ-centered and scriptural. Christian counseling isn’t just concerned with “feeling better” but with “being better”. Christian counseling can help you process the situations, the feelings, the thoughts and the goals associated with problems and help bring clarity and closure to the issues you are dealing with.
