Alyson Lowe has spent more than fifteen years doing the kind of work that asks you to show up as a full human being — not just a clinician. Her practice is built around a single Socratic idea that she uses as a compass: the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. That framing shows up everywhere in her sessions. Alyson is less interested in excavating what broke than in helping clients build what they want next, using their own strengths as the raw material.
She is particularly effective with clients who have been underserved or misread by the mental health system: LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity, coming out, or gender affirmation; people recovering from religious trauma or deconstructing a faith system that no longer fits; clients working through addiction and compulsive behaviors, including substance use and sexual compulsivity; and families in the middle of hard conversations about boundaries, parenting, or generational patterns. Her tone is warm, a little irreverent, and refuses to pathologize what is actually a reasonable response to an unreasonable situation.
Before joining Foundations Counseling, Alyson held roles across the nonprofit sector, child protective services, and inpatient mental health — including time as a Mental Health Therapist on the Child and Family Team at North Range Behavioral Health in Greeley, Colorado. That range matters. She has sat with clients in the worst week of their lives and clients in the long, quiet middle of recovery, and she brings both kinds of steadiness into the room. She holds a Master of Social Work from Colorado State University and is a Certified Health Coach through the American Council on Exercise, which means she can also weave in behavior change, fitness, and nutrition work when clients want that integration.
When she's not working, Alyson is active in the community as an ally and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized populations. She also spends time with her two grandchildren, hikes, backpacks, roller skates, spots storms, plays golf, practices yoga, attends concerts and festivals, and relaxes at home with her three cats. She mentions this not as a biographical flourish but because she thinks clients deserve to know they're working with a person, not a role.
