My name is Dr. Matthew Lowe and I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your mental health goals. Since graduating from medical school and completing my adult and child/adolescent psychiatry resident and fellowship, I have worked with people in the hospital setting, kids in schools, and people of all ages in the outpatient setting. I have been a psychiatrist since 2010 and I love helping people feel better, do more, and achieve better balance in their lives!
A typical first session includes asking lots of questions to get to know more about where you are coming from, what you've been through, and what you are currently experiencing. The goal is to pinpoint symptoms and diagnoses to ensure the proper treatment. Follow up sessions involve talking about life, how you've been, how the medication is working and if it's making anything worse, and setting a plan for the next visit. Medication management combined with therapy each visit is my goal.
I try to meet every person where they are and learn about their goals and dreams to help them achieve success in the future. Through medications and therapy, we will work together to find the right combination to make that happen. I use evidence-based treatments in the lowest doses and the fewest medications possible, in combination with therapy and lifestyle changes, to help every person meet their goals. We will talk a lot, cry sometimes, and laugh often together.
Matthew Lowe offers therapy covered by Buckeye Health Plan, Buckeye Health Plan (Managed Medicaid), CareSource, Medicaid - Buckeye Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Ohio.
I am certified in CBT by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps people manage problems by changing the way they think, feel, and behave. It is particularly helpful for depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD, binge eating disorder, and weight loss.
I am certified in biofeedback therapy by the HeartMath Institute. Biofeedback therapy is a mind-body therapy that helps with anxiety, mood, focus, and sleep, and helps people approach situations with more emotional balance, compassion, clarity, and personal confidence.
I am certified in DBT by the Evergreen Institute. DBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps people learn to manage their emotions and improve their relationships. It helps people learn how to understand and accept difficult feelings, develop skills to manage emotions, make positive changes in their lives, change unhelpful ways of thinking and behavior, and accept who they are. DBT is helpful for people who have difficult regulating their emotions, particularly those who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, PTSD, depression, or anxiety.
