Dora Bowman (she/her/hers)

I am a white, Queer, cisgender woman, social worker and native New Yorker. Before going into individual therapy, I worked at Planned Parenthood for 5 years and provided support to patients seeking abortion care, sexual healthcare, crisis resources, and gender affirming surgeries and hormone care.

I approach therapy with an open heart and mind, using an integrated practice rooted in Trauma-Informed, Anti-Racist, Health at Every Size, and Reproductive Justice frameworks. I am sex/kink positive, sex work friendly, Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned, and specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all human beings as well as the potential for growth, joy, resilience and expansion.

I do not believe that there is a “one size fits all” model to anything, especially therapeutic treatment. I use my skills and training to gather and share tools that meet clients’ unique needs and take into consideration their individual identities and lived experience. I draw from several different therapy modalities, including Somatic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Feminist Psychotherapy. I offer a sliding scale for fees and also accept insurance under Aetna and Optum plans!
