Dr. Allie Crowe
Forming new relationships can be a challenge, especially when your mental health is involved. I have traveled a personal journey through mental health issues and can relate to what you may be feeling. Becoming a counselor has been a growing desire since completing my master's degree. As a chaplain resident with WellSpan York Hospital, spiritual care and counseling took on a new meaning. Your entire being comprises your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. As we focus on your mental health, the other areas will play a factor. Your spirituality is that which gives you meaning and purpose.
​
I am a pastor at the Westernport Church of the Brethren. I am a Christ-follower; however, I understand not everyone sees things or believes things the way I do. I welcome you as you are, wanting to help you along your journey through that which gives you meaning and purpose.
​
I have a music (vocal) background with a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 2011. Upon graduation, I thought I would venture out and audition for shows in New York or Chicago. I had a different calling that began in 2013. I was asked to fill the pulpit at my church, paving the way toward becoming a pastor. I began my master's degree at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota in January of 2016. Through ups and downs and major roadblocks in my mental health, being a pastor was not all I was meant to do. To complete my master's degree, I performed clinical education requirements and an internship through a chaplain residency program with WellSpan York Hospital. This residency revealed a desire to journey with individuals looking to better themselves with healing and restoration of mental health issues. I completed my residency and graduated from Luther Seminary in August of 2020, the year of the pandemic.
​
The Westernport Church of the Brethren hired me in July of 2020 as their pastor. Within a year of this new role, I felt a pull to go back to school. After researching different schools and programs, I found myself applying for the Doctor of Ministry program with Liberty University. The focus was going to be on counseling with an emphasis in individual/family and crisis/trauma. The journey through the program was rewarding and helped provide the additional education to help me become a mental health advocate for you.
