My name is Alivia Crowe, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that like life, therapy is about embracing growth, pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, and celebrating the small breakthroughs that help us learn and evolve.

Self Scheduling
My approach to therapy is integrative and highly individualized as I understand that your experience is unique. I enter each session with curiosity, humility, and the intent to offer guidance while empowering you to make the changes you wish to see in your life. My goal is to provide a safe space where people can feel completely comfortable being honest, authentic, and vulnerable. I believe that each person should be treated with compassion despite our differences and I convey these values through unconditional respect. I strive to find balance between the profound, introspective work we do during therapy with compassion and humor.
Patients before have said I’ve been a great listener, very attentive, validating, compassionate, and relatable. They tell me they’ve gained openness, mental flexibility, and better understanding of their values, intentions, and emotions. They are also better able to communicate their boundaries and emotions with others and have strengthened relationships with themselves and loved ones. I’m very genuine, authentic, and informal in sessions. I use humor to help patients feel more at ease and am very good at making people feel seen and heard.
Credentials
Education
Master of Social Work, Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis, 2017
Personal Interests
I grew up in a small town in Indiana and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology from Indiana University East. Shortly after graduating, I moved to Indianapolis and started working at an outpatient clinic servicing clients who were diagnosed with a co-occurring intellectual disability and a mental health disorder. In order to increase the impact I could make on my clients’ lives, I started a graduate program in Social Work at Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis. I moved to Austin during my last year of the program and started an internship at Texas Health Institute so I could grow my understanding of how policy and research impact the work social workers do on the ground level. While living in Austin, I primarily worked in acute psychiatric settings including an inpatient mental health hospital and an emergency department.
I lived in Austin for 8 years but recently decided to move to Cincinnati, OH to be closer to my family who still lives in Indiana. When I’m not working, I love to go to concerts, read, cook, craft, tend to my plants, go on hikes with my pups, and swim when the weather allows! I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and am intrigued by learning new things, traveling, and being exposed to different cultures and belief systems. I have a sincere love for my work and am continuously amazed by human resilience.
