I’m Brandee, PMHNP-BC and founder of Kaleidoscope ClearPath Wellness. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, personal, and easy to understand. Healing happens when we slow down, listen to ourselves, and take small, caring steps forward. My approach blends mental health care with mindfulness, balance, and everyday habits that support your whole life. Here you'll find a gentle, judgment-free space for growth and clarity. My goal is simple; help you feel better and move forward with confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Atlanta, GA


Are you struggling with feelings that you can't quite put into words? Have you attempted to mask this with unhealthy behaviors and coping that has led to guilt, shame or self-doubt? Maybe just being forced to "push through" because life has given you no other alternatives. Potentially these emotions have gotten in the way of your success and or every day life (job, school, relationships), and, you have turned to every avenue for help, but still not found yourself feeling any better? If this is you then your feelings are valid. I help individuals who are struggling to get unstuck in tackling the many challenges of life.


My approach is individualized and non-judgmental. It is important for me to take the time to help you feel safe and comfortable enough to be your true and authentic self. I see everyone's journey as unique within its own right. I believe that the experiences from our past help shape and define our present sometimes being embedded in our subconscious.


Whether you are new to therapy and anxious about taking that first step, or returning after a long haul, I am here to help you take the steps needed to move your life in the ways of your own choosing. My hope is help you bring clarity to your experiences while supporting you in your journey towards transcendence.

Dr. Priscilla Powers

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Marietta, GA


Hi, I’m Priscilla Powers, a Licensed Professional Counselor, School Counselor, and Professor of Counseling with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education. I’ve spent my career supporting teenagers and young adults through some of life’s most challenging transitions—both in clinical settings and in schools—while also training the next generation of counselors.

With extensive experience in adolescent and family dynamics, I specialize in helping clients navigate:

  • Relationship stress and conflict
  • Anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional burnout
  • Life transitions and identity shiftsSchool-related stress, academic pressures, and developmental concerns

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems work, and trauma-informed care—tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to make meaningful changes in your life.

If you’re seeking a counselor who combines therapeutic expertise, deep compassion, and decades of experience, I’m here to help.
