Hope Lowdermilk

Being able to speak honestly about what you’re feeling can be powerful—and everyone deserves a space where that feels possible.I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and life’s challenges—supporting them to manage overwhelm, build self-trust, understand their emotions, and find greater balance in their daily lives.

 

Before becoming a counselor-in-training, I spent 12 years in the fast-paced world of advertising, so I have an intimate understanding of professional burnout, high-achiever anxiety, and the delicate balance between ambition and well-being. Now, as a graduate student counselor based in the Pacific Northwest, I bring both lived experience and clinical training into the room. My style is relational, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), always tailoring our work to fit your unique needs—not the other way around. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of where to begin, we’ll move at your pace and build something meaningful together.

 

Outside the therapy room, I’m a proud plant mom, live music lover, and avid reader. Nature and yoga help keep me rooted, and I often explore tools like mindfulness, creativity, and storytelling with clients as pathways to growth and renewal.

 

I believe therapy should be rooted in honesty, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience. You deserve care, clarity, and connection—and I’d be honored to help you find it. If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly at hope@ciascounseling.com.
