Mia Perry Bowick

Hi, I’m Mia.

​

I consider myself a lifelong explorer of this thing called being human.

​

After a brief stint pursuing a career in the theater, I spent over a decade as a psychotherapist and drama therapist, working with teens, adults, couples, and families facing mental health and substance use disorders as they explored and healed their human experience.

​

I hold a Master of Arts in Applied Theatre Arts and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Registered Drama Therapist, and I’ve trained internationally in various healing and spiritual processes.

​

All of which is to say: I have a whole lot of experience in exploration methods, I’m very comfortable with big feelings, and I love a good metaphor.

​

After the untimely loss of my brother, I felt called to lay my therapist cardigan to rest. I began writing more, speaking more, and gathering folks in circles to explore the intersections of grief, creativity, and collective healing.

 

That path eventually led to founding a nonprofit organization called Cassia Collective.

​

I now spend my days creating exploratory spaces through writing, facilitating and speaking. 

My hope is to encourage others to live from their authentic truths by modeling this personally, acting as a mirror for others to see themselves reflected in, and sharing some of the knowledge I’ve gathered through my own explorations.​

​

In my downtime, you can find me investigating my new home state of Colorado with my husband, kids and dogs, curled up with a good book or hitting the hell out of a tennis ball.
