About Dr. Lowry
Dr. Stephen H. Lowry works with individual (adults, 17 years and older) and couples, addressing a broad range of concerns.

Dr. Lowry has practiced in North Carolina as a licensed Clinical Psychologist for 45 years. He has worked in public settings as well as in his private practice. He received his graduate training in Clinical Psychology at the Arizona State University, graduating with his doctorate in 1976. There, he was trained in a variety of community outpatient and inpatient settings
in addition to intensive academic course work in psychology, psychotherapy, and behavior therapy. In 1975, he moved to North Carolina for a Psychology Internship at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Durham, N.C., where he worked as a psychotherapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings, along with doing vocational evaluations with Vocational Rehabilitation in several nearby communities. During this time, Dr. Lowry decided that he wanted to focus his career as a psychologist on outpatient psychotherapy with adults. As a result, the following year he applied for and was elected to a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. There, he received specialized training in outpatient psychotherapy with adult individuals and couples, splitting his time at the Department of Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic and the local Mental Health Center. During this time, he taught undergraduate psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Following this formal training, Dr. Lowry took a part time position as a Staff Psychologist and Psychology Intern Supervisor with the OPC Community Mental Health Center in Chapel Hill, and opened his private practice in Clinical Psychology in Chapel Hill. He worked with individuals, couples, and groups at the Mental Health Center for 15 years before he resigned to work exclusively in his private practice.

Dr. Lowry has been a member of the American Psychological Association and the North Carolina Psychological Association since receiving his license in 1976. He is married with three grown children.
