Cotey Bowman, LPC
Men’s Issues, Sexual Struggles, Identity, Purpose, & Relationships
If you’re a man who feels stuck between who you are and who you’re supposed to be, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep living this way.
I specialize in working with men in and out of Waco, Tx, who are dealing with pornography or sexual compulsivity, shame, emotional disconnection, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. On the outside, you may look like you have it together—but internally, you feel stuck, anxious, numb, or divided.
My approach goes deeper than surface-level coping skills. We’ll work through attachment wounds, identity struggles, and the behavioral patterns that keep you stuck, so you can actually change—not just manage symptoms.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start becoming the person you know you’re meant to be, therapy can help.

Joe Bennett, LPC Associate, EMDR- Trained
Supervised by: Jude Austin, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S
Complex Trauma, Grief and Loss, ADHD, Relational Problems, and Non-Traditional Group Therapy in Waco, Texas
If traditional therapy has never quite worked for you, you’re not the problem.
I work with adults and adolescents who are dealing with complex trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, spirituality/religious abuse and issues, and chronic shame.
I explore problematic relational and emotional patterns with clients by examining childhood wounds, experiences of trauma and suffering, and emerging patterns within the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help people develop healthier relational and emotional patterns, become more truthful with themselves and others, and to discover and deeply love the fullness of who they are.
I am trained in EMDR, which can help diminish the severity of trauma-related symptoms by moving through painful experiences rather than reliving or getting stuck in them.
I offer opportunities for clients to participate in non-traditional group counseling using therapeutically-applied tabletop roleplaying games (TA-RPGs) like Dungeons and Dragons. These groups are a creative alternative for examining the important themes from our own life stories, developing creativity and adaptability through imaginative play, and exploring new ways of being.
Issues I Work With:
- Complex Trauma and Survivors of Abuse
- Grief, Loss, and Suffering
- Relational Problems
- Men and women dealing with chronic shame, feelings of inferiority, and unresolved relational wounds
- ADHD
- Anxiety and Depression
- Spiritual/Religious problems including: spiritual abuse and church hurt, deconstruction and doubt, and faith-leaders experiencing burnout.
Therapeutic orientations:
- Relational Psychoanalysis
- Contemporary Gestalt Therapy
- Non-Tradition Group Therapy using TA-RPGs
- EMDR
Who I Work With:
- Adolescents
- Teens
- Adults
- Couples
