| Who’s Who | Emily Powers, LLMSW | |
| Approach: | I strive to nurture client relationships through the use of collaboration, empowerment, openness, and respect. I help clients navigate their thoughts, beliefs, and emotions while encouraging them to find and develop their own voice, use that voice, and challenge the status quo/any systemic barriers they might encounter. I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of each client’s journey of self-exploration and growth. I tend to utilize holistic and integrative therapeutic approaches rooted in multicultural counseling, feminist theory, systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy. | |
| Clinical Interests: | Emily’s clinical interests include identity development and exploration, transracial and transnational adoptee concerns, life adjustments and transitions, women’s issues and empowerment, multicultural concerns, academic stress and anxiety, perfectionism, parent-child relational concerns, relationship concerns, family of origin concerns, systemic oppression, and social justice issues | |
