Through the years Pastor Cowan has led teams to Mexico and Guatemala where these teams have built twenty homes for families in Mexico, and a school for children in a remote region of Guatemala. Cowan then served on that school’s Board for a few years to help the school get established. Today over 200 students each year receive a free education because of that school.
Doug Cowan has volunteered as both a youth hockey coach and as a youth baseball coach in Tehachapi. In the past, Cowan has coached baseball at the high school level in both Lancaster, CA and Kailua Kona, HI, and at the university level at California Lutheran University. He also once was a contract scout for the Texas Rangers.
Pastor Cowan has led over a dozen weekend marriage retreats, encouraging over 300 couples from Orange County, Kern County, and Ventura County.
As Pastor of Family Ministries at a local church in Tehachapi, Cowan both started and trained the volunteers for these resources in Tehachapi: Grief Share, Divorce Care, and Divorce Care for Children.

Chances are pretty good that you have met either Dr. Cowan, or his wife Susie, or one of their children at some time through the years. Doug and Susie Cowan have been married since 1981, and have three great children. Amber is married, and lives with her husband and three children in Portland, OR. Dallas is married and lives in Phoenix, AZ with his bride. And Grant is still at home growing, working, and playing hard.
The Cowan’s moved just outside of Tehachapi to Bear Valley Springs in 1989, and since they have been very involved in churches, and in Little League and other youth sports, and in a dozen other community activities as they have raised their children into adults, so it is possible that your paths have crossed at some point over the years.

Counseling

Together we try to figure out what the problem is, and how best to solve the problem. And then, once the problem is solved, to help individuals and families to grow stronger in their love, and faith, and commitment to others.
Counseling is more an “art” than a science. It involved providing direction, or advice, that leads to a course of action that moves the situation to a better place.
Counseling is the application of wisdom, experience, education, and expertise to your situation, for your benefit.
