Barbara Powers, MDiv, LCSW

Life presents a variety of situations, from traumatic experiences to life transitions, and everything in between. Collaborating with an unbiased professional with whom you can learn to cope with difficulties in an authentic and caring atmosphere is the first step toward healing.

My practice philosophy is based on a holistic approach that tailors your treatment to your presenting problems and goals by utilizing techniques from a variety of evidence based therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and motivational interviewing. While providing treatment for problems with depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use I focus on building the strengths you bring to treatment to help you reach your goals. I include meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, exercise and sleep as part of the therapy plan as I believe they are important components for achieving and maintaining emotional, physical and spiritual wellness, regardless of age.
