"I have been working with Rita Bowman over the past year. I appreciate her Biblical wisdom, mental health knowledge, and the warmth over the past year, specifically for the support she gives while I am dealing with situations that heighten my anxiety and depression.
Knowing that Rita is just a text away has been a HUGE blessing during this extremely difficult time. My mental health has improved over the past year, as I have shorter periods of not being able to function normally. Rita's expertise in mental health has proven very beneficial to my complex circumstances. Often being reminded that God has this under control and that I am a child of God. I am thankful for the time spent under Rita's professional care."

"It has been my pleasure to work alongside Mrs. Rita Bowman in the family law mediation sector. As a mediator, she had to listen and help facilitate an agreement between many contentious parties. I witnessed as she listened with compassion and offered wise counsel to each party. I have spoken with many couples who have employed her as a marital counselor and have experienced restoration of their marriage. Rita is a Godsend!"
