Dr. McGowan has helped me tremendously in dealing with my anxiety and emotions. I would highly recommend her to absolutely anybody. Her upbeat personality and encouragement is very refreshing. She always checks in on you and makes sure that you’re having a good week. Dr. McGowan was my first therapist and worked with me so patiently and was very understanding with my concerns. Such a pleasure to work with and has the most amazing smile!

More about me
Licensing: PhD, LCSW, MSW Years in Practice: 40 State: Kansas
Dear Client:
I have been a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas for more than 40 years. As an African-American, faith based woman, I am a seasoned professional counselor, life coach, teacher, consultant, and administrator.
Experiencing the journey of life can be challenging and difficult. Finding peace can be overwhelming, therefore, I applaud you for taking the courageous step to seek counseling support. You deserve to live your best life.
If you desire to achieve a healthy state of mindfulness and wellness, it is important to gain insights about how your mind, thoughts and consciousness play a powerful role in helping you see beyond your current issues and struggles. If you desire, I will support you to include your faith within the therapy process.
My counseling style is warm, engaging, positive, but yet focused, and goal oriented. I will encourage you to utilize your strengths and personal resources to help guide your treatment plan. I have worked with a wide range of multicultural clients including, children, adolescents and adults.
I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Kansas, and a Doctorate of Philosophy degree from Kansas State University in Adult and Continuing Education.
If you are ready to make the commitment and take the time to becoming your best self, I would be delighted to be your counselor.
Remember your future is always beginning now!

About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
