I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 35 years of clinical experience and specializing in helping people who feel stuck—whether it's anxiety, ADHD, brain fog, or the lasting effects of trauma and stress. I understand the frustration of feeling like your mind, or life, or relationships won’t cooperate with your goals, and I know how to help.

Licensed in California, Arizona, and Oregon, I work with entrepreneurs and professionals, busy moms, and adults across all walks of life. My unique approach blends the warmth of talk therapy with the precision of neuroscience and advanced technologies. I offer advanced, drug-free tools like Direct Neurofeedback, CES CalmBox neuro-modulation, powerful light therapy tools, and Creyos Cognitive Assessments to give you a clear, personalized roadmap to recovery.

For those who value their Christian faith as part of their healing journey, I also offer Christian-integrated counseling that respects and honors your beliefs. I am a former Pastor who left ministry to develop expertise in fixing relationships, optimizing athletic performance, and brain health and longevity.

Douglas Cowan, Psy.D.

Administered at the start of the journey, and then every 60 to 90 days to track progress. Measures 12 different brain performance systems, levels of anxiety or stress, the effects of past concussions, ability to focus and concentrate, and more.

Personal brain tech used daily to decrease symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, trauma, some ADHD symptoms, and insomnia.  FDA approved for clinical uses. A great mental health tool.

All counseling sessions are provided online to our clients (telehealth or telemedicine sessions). Since the  Covid lockdowns of 2020 counseling online became common, and now it is highly sought after by overloaded professionals, engaged entrepreneurs, athletes in training, and busy moms. It is convenient, no wasted time in traffic, and easy.

Dr. Cowan is an expert in Neurofeedback as a treatment tool for anxiety, PTSD, post-concussion symptoms, ADHD, and more.  Also as a peak performance trainer for professional athletes from baseball to golf. Cowan is leading a research project in Seattle, WA and training professionals in Arizona.

Dr. Cowan can help to guide you beyond the benefits of counseling. There are lifestyle changes, and new habits that will need to be created, in order to move from where you are now to where you want to be in the future.

Dr. Cowan can show you the best exercises for your brain's healing and performance - and surprisingly the very best ones are free - if you know how to find them.  Dr. Cowan will be delighted to show you.
