Dr. Christopher Lowery, DHSc, CLCP
Clinical Health Practitioner, Board-Certified Life Care Planner
Dr. Christopher A. Lowery, DHSc, CLCP is board-certified, specializing in international telehealth life care planning with a focus on clinical health, rehabilitation counseling, biopsychosocial issues, and global health promotion and prevention issues through the use of holistic evidence-based approaches using a Biopsychosocial Health Consultation Model and the Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™. Dr. Lowery is skilled in the use of targeted plans, assessments, and developing treatments for behavioral health disorders (e.g., anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation, employment, trauma, conduct disorder, anger, substance use, etc.), medical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, burns, high blood pressure, inflammation, lung diseases, and diabetes, etc.), and health behavior changes (e.g., weight management, informed health decisions, occupational health prevention, physical activity, disparities, preventive nutrition, tobacco cessation, risky sexual activity, accident prevention, etc.). Other services also provided are catastrophic and disability case management, and non-expert (lay) witness or non-testifying expert litigation support regarding associated disabilities and/or health impairments.
The Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™ established by Dr. Lowery, is an evidence-informed framework that understands cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits as existing along a continuum across all individuals. It shifts the focus from fixed diagnostic categories to how traits are expressed and how they impact daily functioning, allowing for more personalized practical, and inclusive approaches to support and well-being.
Dr. Lowery holds a board-certification in life care planning as a Certified Life Care Planner (CLCP) from the International Commission on Health Care Certification (ICHCC), which is accredited and recognized by the American National Standards Institute National Accreditation Board (ANAB). This prestigious certification attests to his qualifications and competence in the health care delivery systems. ANAB’s accreditation ensures that the certification process meets rigorous international standards, confirming his aptitude and expertise for his role as a practitioner.

Heidi Sawyer, LPC & Career Exploration Coach
Licensed Professional Counselor
I believe that some of our greatest growth comes out of our hardest seasons in life. Brene Brown states, "Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen." Counseling can be a great step to helping you become more authentic and show others your true self. If you're experiencing a challenging season, I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey.
12 Years Experience
Online in Houston, TX Texas
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
