Amy Lowe, LPCC

Hello, and welcome! I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I know that choosing a therapist can feel like an important and sometimes vulnerable decision, and I hope this gives you a little sense of who I am and how I approach this work.

“ I believe connection is an important part of the healing process. There is something deeply healing about being genuinely seen, heard, and understood and discovering that we don't have to make sense of the difficult aspects our lives alone. It is a privilege to sit alongside another person as they come to know themselves more deeply and discover what it might mean to feel more connected, more whole, and more fully alive.”

-Amy Lowe

“One of my favorite childhood books is The Velveteen Rabbit. I love the idea that the heart of the story isn’t about becoming more perfect or polished, but about becoming more “real,” as the author suggests. I think healing can be something like that. It can be a process of becoming more connected to ourselves, more able to understand and express our experiences, and more fully engaged in our lives and relationships.

I have always been drawn to people and their stories, and I believe deeply in the inherent worth of every person and our capacity for growth and meaningful change. Life can give us so many reasons to disconnect from our lives – painful experiences, difficult relationships, overwhelming emotions, or expectations we have learned to carry. Sometimes the life we imagined for ourselves simply doesn't unfold the way we expected. In those places, it can be difficult to imagine what might come next.

For me, healing has a lot to do with becoming freer to inhabit our lives more fully. It means becoming better able to experience both joy and sorrow, vulnerability and strength, playfulness and seriousness, while discovering greater freedom to imagine what our lives might still become.

  • My approach to counseling is relational, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and integrative. I believe therapy unfolds over time, beginning with the development of safety and trust. As author Parker J. Palmer says, “The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.” I want the therapy room to be a place where you feel safe, valued, and free to show up as you are and to know that we will move at a pace that honors your experiences and what feels manageable for you.

    As our work unfolds, we may explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, become curious about patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and pay attention not only to your thoughts, but also to your emotions. I also believe our bodies hold important information about our experiences, so when helpful, we may pay attention to what you notice physically as well as what you think and feel. My hope is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater capacity to hold the joy, pain, uncertainty, and complexity that are part of being human.

  • My path to becoming a counselor grew out of both my personal and professional experiences. Having trusted people walk alongside me as I made sense of experiences from my own childhood and difficult seasons has been a vital part of my journey toward healing. I know personally how meaningful it can be to have a place where you feel safe enough to explore your story honestly and where you don't have to navigate it alone.

    Before becoming a therapist, much of my professional life was spent in education, writing, editing, mentoring, and community work. I taught writing and literature to college students and spent ten years as a co-founder and senior editor of a literary magazine. Across these different roles, I found myself continually drawn to people's stories, to listening closely, asking questions, and helping people find language for what they were trying to understand or express.

    Over time, I also realized that I longed to work with people in a more personal and holistic way. I wanted the opportunity to know someone beyond a classroom or a piece of writing. I wanted to build relationships over time and have the privilege of witnessing growth and change as it unfolded. Counseling brought together so many of the things I had valued throughout my life: curiosity about people and their stories, meaningful relationship, and the opportunity to engage the whole person.

    My clinical experience has included providing counseling to children, adolescents, and adults in a community mental health setting. Working with people across different ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances has only deepened my respect for the complexity of each person's story and my belief in our capacity for growth and change.
