Individual psychotherapy, counseling and coaching
Difference between services: Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term clinical mental health support focused on understanding and healing long-held patterns and challenges. Counseling is also clinical mental health support but focused more on addressing specific challenges and tends to be briefer. Coaching is not clinical mental health support nor a replacement for it. Instead, coaching focuses on finding solutions and taking action towards greater well-being. Please feel free to reach out below to see which might be the best fit for your current needs.
Areas of service: I offer coaching to clients across the world, including throughout the US. I offer psychotherapy and counseling to clients located in countries that allow it, including the UK, most of the Global South and many countries in the EU. Please reach out to see if your country allows this. For US residents, I am only able to offer clinical psychotherapy and counseling to people residing in Kentucky, Virginia and Vermont at this time. I am in-network for commercial Optum (United), Aetna and Cigna plans in KY, VT and VA, and Anthem BCBS only in KY. I can provide a superbill for other insurance companies for out-of-network reimbursement and accept HSA/FSA cards. Both coaching and clinical services are offered via 50-min video sessions.
Clinical focus and experience: I am trained as a licensed clinical social worker and take an eclectic approach to providing psychotherapy and counseling in order to best meet your self-identified needs and goals. I am trained to offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and also draw on evidence-based mindfulness and somatic techniques from modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have over five years of clinical experience supporting people who are struggling with symptoms that fit the diagnostic criteria for depression (including PMDD), anxiety (generalized and social), trauma (including PTSD and developmental/complex), OCD, bipolar and substance use. Additionally, I support people experiencing life transitions, gender dysphoria and affirmation/transition, relationship challenges (including ENM/poly), family planning, existential questioning and grief.
Pricing structure: Sustainer: $120-150, €100-125, £88-110 | Base: $110, €93, £80 | Concession: $80, €70, £60
Aware of the vast inequities in income and wealth distribution, I operate on a sliding-scale model that is transparent and redistributive. The base rate is the average rate needed to sustain my well-being, business costs and unpaid voluntary work. I invite people from higher-income countries with access to higher income and/or wealth to consider paying the sustainer rate in order to support people who have lower incomes and/or wealth to access the concession rates. If you feel able to contribute somewhere between the above rates (ie you can afford $90 but not $110), that is also welcome and supports more people to access more affordable rate for themselves. In addition, I reserve a few low-fee rates below $80; please inquire in the form below for availability. Please note that services can be charged in USD, EUR or GBP and paid via credit card or bank transfer.
Free consultation: Please reach out on the form below or email me at parker@parkerbowling.com to ask any questions or to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit to work together. I'm always happy to discuss how we can make therapy, counseling or coaching accessible for you.
Mental health, resilience and well-being support for orgs
Feelings of deep distress about the climate crisis, mass violence and systemic injustices are rational responses to the irrational circumstances we find ourselves in. This is particularly true for people working daily to create much needed change. As it becomes increasingly difficult for individuals to access affordable and effective mental health services, I believe that collaborations between clinicians, organizations and employees can make care more accessible.
Aware that our mental health and the world that we're apart of are inextricably interconnected, I offer comprehensive well-being programs that proactively cultivate a culture of resilience, compassion and care while actively responding to the inevitable mental health impacts of working amidst the crises of our time.
Services and pricing: I offer a sliding-scale pricing model that is tailored to the nature and resources of your organization. The base rate is the average I need to sustain my well-being, business costs and unpaid voluntary work. I invite corporate or well-resourced non-profit organizations to consider whether a rate within the sustainer range is sustainable in order to support my work with less-resourced and grassroots organizations.
Individual counseling sessions: One-to-one clinical support on a secure online platform. These sessions can be focused on specific issues or more comprehensive mental health support. Some organizations opt for a cost-sharing model with their employees for individual counseling; for example employees will pay $30 per session and employers will pay the remaining $90. Employers usually offer a set number of sessions per employee per year.
I am currently licensed to provide counseling to US residents located in VA, KY and VT. I am able to provide counseling to people residing in other countries that allow it, including the UK, most of the Global South and many EU countries.
