Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Powell, and I am a licensed psychologist. I obtained my doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from the University at Albany. My research and clinical interests are centered on self-development and mastery, stress management, holistic healing, and the resolution of generational trauma.

My approach to therapy

I use an eclectic approach in my clinical work. Drawing from my psychodynamic training, I explore how past experiences shape your current behaviors. My goal is to help you develop new thoughts and actions to create the life you desire.

What you can expect from me

The outcomes of our work depend on the client's goals and their readiness to engage in the process. At times, the main goal may simply be to stabilize and establish a solid foundation, especially if someone is going through a difficult period. Other times, gaining clarity on goals or finding a sense of direction might be the desired outcome. Additionally, some individuals may require assistance or accountability to achieve their goals. No matter where you are on this journey, I am here to help.
