Therapist in Portland, Maine Rosanna Bowman, Therapist

Rosanna understands that when life doesn’t unfold as hoped or planned, it can leave us feeling confused, discouraged, or stuck. One of the most meaningful parts of her work as a therapist is collaborating with clients to view their experiences through a new lens — often discovering strengths and possibilities they hadn’t seen before. While she does not believe that “everything happens for a reason,” she does believe that growth and goodness can emerge from even the most difficult circumstances. Her hope is to partner with clients in creating that good and building a life that feels fulfilling, purposeful, and genuinely exciting.

Rosanna works with adults across the lifespan, from 18 to 98. She believes that meaningful therapy begins with a safe, trusting relationship where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. Her style is compassionate and supportive, while also thoughtfully encouraging growth when the time is right. She values collaboration and sees therapy as a partnership, working alongside individuals who are ready to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.

Her clinical experience includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, and substance use. Rosanna is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, and she thoughtfully integrates elements of mindfulness and attachment theory into her work. For clients who draw strength from their faith, she welcomes incorporating that into sessions in a way that feels authentic and supportive.

Rosanna practices at LifeStance Health and has been providing clinical care since 2017. Outside of her work, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, and finding simple moments of connection and balance in everyday life.
