Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • Marble Hill, GA


Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.

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.

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

  • Clients often come to me for support with:
    • Anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions
    • Self-esteem, perfectionism, and fear of not being “good enough”
    • College and academic challenges
    • Career uncertainty and post-graduation transitions
    • Identity development and life direction
    • Dating, breakups, and relationship patterns
    • Attachment and communication
    • Family relationships and developing healthy independence
    • Boundaries and difficult conversations
    • ADHD-related organization and time management
    • Grief and significant life transitions
    • Major decisions about relationships, careers, and the future

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.

If your child is struggling with big feelings, hard behaviors, or school-related stress, you have found a safe place. I have worked alongside kids, teens, and their families since

2005, creating a playful, welcoming space where they can finally feel understood. I draw from play therapy, AutPlay, and creative approaches tailored to your child's

personality and developmental stage. I also partner with caregivers, teachers, and other supports so your child is not doing this work alone. My goal is to help them

understand themselves better, build confidence, and feel more in control of their emotions and choices.
