About
Donnise Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a mental health professional with clinical training and licensure, who is passionate about supporting youth and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, growth, and stronger emotional well-being. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process where clients are supported in discovering their own strength, resilience, and direction rather than having someone solve problems for them.
Her style is warm, authentic, and relational, with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, genuine space that does not feel overly formal. Donnise aims for sessions to feel like a meaningful conversation grounded in care, connection, and real-life understanding. She integrates clinical knowledge with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and values the role of lived experience in the healing process.
When it fits a client’s preferences, Donnise is open to incorporating spirituality and Christian values into therapy, while also respecting each person’s unique beliefs and background. She also welcomes humor and moments of joy as part of the work, recognizing that life can feel heavy and that lightness can help clients reconnect and move forward. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for those dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed, and she partners with clients to explore challenges, build on strengths, and work toward the life they want to create.
