About
I’m a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who believes healing happens through a collaborative, person-centered approach that respects your lived experience while grounding care in evidence-based practice.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 12 years of experience providing evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and challenges related to major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the full context of each client’s lived experience.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and shared decision-making. When medication is part of treatment, I prioritize education, careful monitoring, and ongoing adjustments to ensure care aligns with each client’s goals and values.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking symptom relief, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season, I will work alongside you at a pace that feels right. Together, we will focus on meaningful progress and sustainable mental well-being.

Hello, I'm Nadia Bowser, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with over 10 years of healthcare experience across a variety of clinical and patient care settings. Throughout my career, I've developed a strong passion for supporting individuals through complex and difficult seasons of life with compassion and understanding. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health challenges. I enjoy helping those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to find healing, balance, and a path toward feeling like themselves again.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. I combine medication management with supportive therapy to help you build coping skills, gain insight, and make meaningful progress at a pace that works for you. I take a down-to-earth, real-person approach, using lightheartedness and humor to make sessions feel comfortable and less intimidating.
You don't have to go through this alone, and wherever you are in your journey is a perfectly OK place to start. I'm here to meet you with understanding, support, and care as you take the next step toward feeling better. When you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment so we can begin working toward your healing together.

Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Flagstaff.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Flagstaff, AZ have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Flagstaff, AZ is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
