Alyson Lowe

What clients walk away with, more often than not, is a clearer sense of what they actually want to build — and a better understanding of the strengths they already have to build it with. Alyson Lowe is a Licensed Social Worker based in Fort Collins, Colorado, whose practice runs on a forward-facing philosophy: less forensic examination of what went wrong, more deliberate construction of what comes next. That orientation makes her particularly effective with people who have felt flattened or misread by systems that were supposed to help them — LGBTQIA+ individuals working through identity or gender affirmation, people untangling religious trauma, clients navigating addiction and compulsive behavior, and families having hard, overdue conversations about boundaries.

Her background spans child protective services, nonprofit work, and inpatient mental health, so she has been present for both acute crisis and the slower work of long-term recovery. She holds a Master of Social Work from Colorado State University and is a Certified Health Coach through the American Council on Exercise, bringing in behavior change, fitness, and nutrition when that serves a client. For couples and families, she is just as comfortable talking about a fight that started over a text thread as one that started over the dinner table.

Her tone is warm and a little irreverent. She works with children, teens, adults, and older adults — individual, couples, family, and coaching formats — with online sessions available.
