I was extremely skeptical to try therapy in the beginning but working with Tim has been an extremely helpful experience for me. Tim portrays a great sense of warmth and understanding that immediately put me at ease.

Tim has the ability to listen within judgement and provide guidance with compassion. Through our sessions, I have gained a lot of insight into myself and my relationships, and Tim has given me the practical tools to help manage my emotions. I feel more self-aware than ever before.

I am very grateful for Tim. He has made a profound impact in my life. Tim can give you the tools to better your life and even show you how to use them, but you have to do the work.

Throughout my time with Dr. Lowe, I was taught a multitude of skills, life lessons, aphorisms, and what Dr. Lowe calls "a way of being". Seeing Tim for therapy or counseling is more than talking through your troubles. Perhaps that is part of why someone might seek such a service; however, you can approach a friend to talk about your troubles. No, with Dr. Lowe I was encouraged to search for and explore an understanding of the deeper roots behind any thinking errors or confrontations I occurred. For example, instead of talking about how I was annoyed by playing 20 questions with my family right as I walked in the door from work, Tim and I walked through why this might be happening, why I was annoyed by it in the first place, and possible solutions to the problem. This deeper understanding of difficulties from past and present times allowed me to form an alternative approach to adversity. Often nowadays, I am slower to anger or annoyance because I, first, contemplate the where, when, why, and how before I allow myself to become overwhelmed by emotion.

I have been in therapy, treatment, or counseling since I was 12 years old and I am now 20 years of age. During those months or years, I was seeing Dr. Lowe, I was not in the strongest state of mind. Truthfully, I was often late to our sessions, missed them entirely, or was reluctant to attend; nevertheless, Tim was there punctually and steadfast in his optimism every single time. In other words, when I was unreliable, mentally and physically, Dr. Lowe was a mountain of solidarity to look up to.

Lastly, Tim and I often related our lessons or skills (DBT, CBT, etc.) to something called "a way of being". It is important to note that the verb "be" is in the present participle tense. For reference, a present participle is known as a continuous tense because it is used to demonstrate a process in progress. In other words, while we were working on developing new strategies to approach life's challenges, we were correlating it back to a working definition of my "way of being". Everyone's "way-of-being will be unique, but the general premise is it is a set of morals or characteristics that you aspire to live your life by. The caveat is when you develop a "way-of-being" it does not apply some of the time, this is an all-encompassing moral code that applies to every situation. In the beginning, this was challenging for me because I often had lapses in judgment resulting in a forfeiture of my "way of being"; however, with dedication and repetition it, cognitively, became a series of automatic micro-habits that are ingrained in my thought processes. Meaning, that you will eventually not have to actively think about upholding such standards.

Working with Dr. Tim Lowe has been a joy and a success for me. Looking for a therapist in Utah County being a member of the LGBTQ community was initially a concern for me, one that Tim quickly put to rest once we got to know each other. Tim is honest and open and he creates a non-judgmental space safe for being yourself in. He has been great at making me feel like a welcomed friend! Tim is a very qualified and experienced therapist in my opinion.

I'm so grateful to and for Tim. He helped me through a very challenging time in a new marriage that just never got up and running.

Tim opened my mind to many different concepts, including standing strong with confidence when you are up against a large and very avoidant family system. He helped me see that I need to learn to be self-assertive and believe in my instincts/[intuition], natural talents, and abilities as a woman. He validated me in ways that helped me feel seen and understood and taught me to believe in knowing my mind.

I've experienced-years-of pain at the hands-of other men. Tim showed me that not all men are that way and that there are worse things than being single.

The favorite thing Tim taught me is that I need to divorce thoughts that no longer serve me. That goes along with one of my favorite quotes by Richard Paul Evans from the book Noel's Diary: "Holding on to anger is like swallowing poison and hoping someone else will die."

Today, I can move forward and leave static environments behind. I am done fixating my attention on situations and individuals whose influence is keeping me from progressing and becoming my best self. 1 am done "swallowing poison" and know I can walk away a happy, wiser, and more confident individual than I was before.

Thank you for everything, Tim!!

To better understand the impact that Tim has had on my life, I must first give some back story to my life as a young teenager. My name is [....] and I live in [...] Maryland. As a child in middle school I was never really well behaved. I would often act out in class in the form of disrupting, and distracting other students from learning. In turn I had to leave 2 private schools due to my behavior. In addition to having problems in school, I had caused problems at home. I would often manipulate my mother into getting what I want. I would use her need to make me happy, against her. As a result of my manipulation, I drove a wedge in my parent's marriage. My father would often hold me accountable but my mother would let me off easy. I never showed any regard to the damage I was causing my family. After school and on the weekends I would often hang out with the wrong crowd in high school. We would smoke marijuana and nicotine almost every day. What started out as smoking turned into selling weed. I would often ride around with friends years older than me and help them sell the marijuana. I was heading down the wrong path very quickly at the age of sixteen. I ended up carrying a loaded handgun that was given to me by my grandfather. One day my father had stopped me on a walk to the store and checked my backpack. That's where he found the gun. Once we got back home there was talk of sending me away because they didn't know what to do. I was worried and didn't want to go so that night I packed a bag and ran away to live with my girlfriend in her parents' house. I stayed there for a month while still going to school, but had little to no contact with my parents. After a month of being away I was picked up by a team of 'transporters' and was taken to Utah where my life would change for the best.
