I've had the privilege of working with Kirsten Lowell at Thriveworks, and I can truly say she is a one-of-a-kind therapist. As someone working in a demanding healthcare role, self-care isn't optional—it's essential. And for me, that means therapy. Kirsten has been an incredible guide on my mental health journey. Her unique ability to balance professionalism with genuine, heartfelt care is unmatched. She listens with empathy, speaks with insight, and creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. Her openness and authenticity have allowed me to be vulnerable, while her wisdom has helped me navigate life's complexities with more clarity and confidence. I've recommended many friends and colleagues to Thriveworks because of Kirsten, and I proudly call her my "talk doctor"—because with Kirsten, it's not just therapy, it's transformation. If you're looking for someone who truly sees you, supports you, and helps you grow, Kirsten Lowell is it!

About Kirsten
Kirsten Lowell is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). Kirsten’s early work centered around helping adolescents and young adults with visual impairments and additional disabilities to learn and apply social and emotional skills. She encouraged clients to foster independent living skills such as self-advocacy, personal safety, and executive functioning. Cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strengths-based treatments inform Kirsten's integrated generalist approach to therapy.
Kirsten completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Simmons University. Prior to joining Thriveworks, she coordinated a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program aimed at medication management and treating co-occurring disorders such as substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues.
Kirsten seeks to meet you where you are, strengthen your coping skills, and build a collaborative working relationship to improve overall wellness. Kirsten believes in creating a warm and compassionate space where clients can explore and process their thoughts and feelings.
"Going to therapy is like going to the gym; you may feel sore and you won’t see immediate effects, but the long-term results are gratifying and well-worth the investment."

What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
Going to therapy is like going to the gym; you may feel sore and you won’t see immediate effects, but the long-term results are gratifying and well-worth the investment.
What inspires you?
I find inspiration in nature, travel, food, books and people!
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
Clients can expect me to listen and affirm their ability to show up. A first session can feel awkward, confusing and uncomfortable so I will work to pace our time and guide the conversation. I try to introduce the structure of therapy sessions, answer questions and hear what you want from our time together.
