The Journey

Alison Perry Sower, MS, LPC
I began working with veterans in 2005, two years after my brother deployed for the invasion of Iraq. During six years' direct clinical service in the VA, I developed a passion for combat trauma across the lifespan.

The Vision
In 2012 I left the Department of Veterans Affairs to pursue the vision of "a place where veterans could work on the land, sleep under the stars, and be in a community of other vets."

Under my leadership, the nonprofit Central Oregon Veterans Ranch was established in 2014, delivering an innovative, strengths-based, holistic model of healing for combat veterans.
inspiration, innovation, and creation change the world
Inspiration
My journey began two years after my brother's 2003 deployment for the invasion of Iraq. Inspired by his military service and all of those serving in a post 9/11 world, I felt called to serve.
This prompted a six-year journey working as a trauma therapist in the VA, where I developed a passion for healing combat trauma across the lifespan.
Innovation
Taking a risk, pursuing my dream, and founding a nonprofit and innovative model of holistic care for veterans took me to heights beyond my imagination, such as testifying in the Senate, meeting General Mattis, and co-producing an award-winning documentary.
Creation
Passion, perseverance, and persistence can fuel your journey and help make your dream of changing the world come true.
