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.

Charles Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Alpharetta, GA


I am passionate about working with students, adults, couples and families to help them strengthen emotional wellness, build confidence, strengthen coping skills and build healthier relationships. I help clients to navigate anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, life transitions, substance use and abuse, relationship concerns, cultural identity, men's issues, and spiritual integration.

I use personalized, evidence-based counseling to help clients understand how distorted perceptions and thoughts can contribute to painful feelings and unwanted behaviors. I also build practical skills you can use daily to manage stress, improve relationships, and create meaningful change.

I create a welcoming, judgment-free space where my clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I approach each person with empathy, respect, and personalized care. Connect with me to begin working toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. Let's Ascend!

Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!

As a relational, healing-centered psychotherapist, I work to help my clients discover their own guiding voice, to listen with intent, and to cultivate love and acceptance of their truest nature. In my work with adults, issues like sexuality, spirituality, existentialism, unconscious belief systems, family and partnership, and many more of life's great challenges guide the work of self-exploration.
