About me

As a licensed therapist in Florida and New York, I bring over eighteen (18) years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. The last four (4) of those years were with Betterhelp. My professional approach is based on a Strengths Perspective. It centers on helping clients achieve emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and especially, addiction recovery. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional in Florida and a Certified Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselor in New York.

I focus on empowering individuals to develop a deeper self-understanding of themselves, to improve their communication skills, and to overcome the personal barriers in their way. My practice is particularly attuned to supporting older adults and individuals experiencing workplace challenges, isolation in general, and stressful life transitions.

My therapeutic style emphasizes compassionate, goal-oriented work and guided discovery. I work collaboratively with clients to explore personal growth, to heal from past experiences, and to develop meaningful strategies that work to generate more fulfilling lives. Whether you're struggling with emotional pain, seeking purpose, or working through interpersonal challenges, we'll put our heads together and work to resolve those issues. I provide supportive, non-judgmental care in relationships that are neither normal-abnormal, ordinate-subordinate, nor superior-inferior.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Wayne Rowan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Still new to Wayne (and I'm new to him!). So far so good. Right off the bat seemed to understand my priorities - but I think we're still in that phase where he's trying to understand me and my background. In the meanwhile, he's given me some good materials to review and reflect upon.
