About Wayne Rowan

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) in both Florida and New York. I am a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in Florida and a Certified Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in New York. I bring over eighteen (18) years of dedicated experience in 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 focus on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understandings 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 a compassionate, goal-oriented path through collaborative work and guided discovery. The aims of therapy are to explore personal growth, to heal from past experiences, and to develop meaningful strategies that help generate more fulfilling lives. Whether you’re struggling with emotional pain, seeking purpose in life, and/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.

“Wayne works very well with me. I appreciate his straight forward approach. His insights have helped me over and over when I need to slow down and take in entity of the moment. He has offered me many tools to deal with anger, grief, pain, and feelings of betrayal. Along with my supporters at AA, I feel more connected now with myself and the world than ever. I appreciate Wayne greatly. He is a good, solid, attentive, knowledgeable, and deeply experienced therapist. Thank you, Wayne.”
