Alaire Lowry, PhD, ABPP, FAGPA

Hello and Welcome! Psychotherapy is a well-researched and highly effective process for relieving emotional pain and enabling lasting, positive change in people’s lives. I provide psychotherapy services for children, adolescents and adults in a respectful and collaborative atmosphere.

I welcome your call if the problems or concerns listed below are affecting your happiness or well-being.  If you would like to speak with me personally for a few minutes before scheduling an appointment, I would be happy to talk with you. Or please feel free to schedule a time for yourself at 512-346-2332 with my office manager Cathy. She can answer many of your non-therapy-related questions and work out the appointment details with you.

If you are new to counseling, it is helpful to know: most people are surprised at how comfortable it feels.

You can learn more about the services I offer below, as well as more about my credentials and experience.
