ABOUT

Recreation Therapy Services, LLC was formed by Ashley Lowery, a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) who has been providing Recreation Therapy services in inpatient psychiatric care for over 10 years. She noticed the lack of professional support in leisure/recreational service help in the community and decided to use the experience she gained over the years to help.

​

Ashley is a graduate of Indiana University with a Bachelors of Science in Recreation in the field of Therapeutic Recreation, with a focus on behavioral healthcare. She has worked extensively with children, adolescent, and adults in settings such as residential treatment centers, substance abuse rehab programs, psychiatric intensive care units, and general psychiatric care. She has helped to formulate a Partial Hospitalization Program and has used her specialty to help individuals suffering from clinical depression, mood instability, anxiety disorders, anger issues, substance abuse, and various psychotic symptoms.

​

In practicing recreation therapy, she has been able to see effective change by keeping individuals active in leisure and recreational interests, and creating opportunities to gain mental strength through recreation. In forming Recreation Therapy Services, she hopes to provide maintenance and help manage active leisure habits for adult individuals struggling with intense stress, low motivation, and limited leisure resources. She is dedicated to helping people develop positive, independent leisure and recreational abilities to sustain mental wellness.
