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.

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.

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buford

Searching for therapists in Buford starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, or major life changes. Others search for buford counseling, marriage counseling in Buford, GA, or couples counseling in Buford, GA. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and support people with concerns like yours.

In a smaller city like Buford, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Georgia. You may want to compare in-person and virtual appointments based on your calendar, privacy needs, and preference for meeting face to face. Before booking, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can help you understand each therapist’s approach before you choose.

Therapy in Buford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse Buford counselors, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
