These issues can often seem bigger than we can handle.

This can be lonely and overwhelming. My role is to help you navigate through those difficult times. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 11 years of clinical experience.

Being able to empathize, listen, and support someone who is going through a challenging time is an honor that I take very seriously. I look forward to working with you on your journey to a healthier, happier and less stressful life. I use an integrated approach to treatment. I combine many types of therapeutic techniques and will use a client centered approach which includes strength-based, goal focused techniques. I want you to feel heard and understood while I assist you in developing the tools needed to manage your issues.

Hazel Richards
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience in the social work field. I have worked with families, children, parents, and individuals. I have an extensive background in child welfare services and in special education, working with children with special needs and their families. I have worked in hospitals and with adults in mental health rehabilitation. I am currently employed with the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Many of the veterans served in my program suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety or addictions. I have come to believe over many years of practice that it is critical to help clients express and clarify their goals and to identify the barriers to reaching those goals. Of equal importance is helping clients identify and build upon their strengths. Often this means learning about available resources to assist them. In summary, my approach as a clinical social worker is to help clients understand and meet their personal life goals, using all the resources available to them.

Shawna Powell
I believe that the things we have been through do not have to be in vain. I became a therapist because I wanted to use my own experiences to help others strive, not only to survive but to thrive after horrendous events. During an internship opportunity in my Master's degree program, I found that I as a survivor, as well as a professional, became incredibly empowered and motivated to embark upon social change. I have seen immense healing in so many areas of my career thus far and it just keeps growing. That was only the beginning of that realization of the potential we all have for healing within. Since this start, my vision has expanded and the experience I’ve gained in treating people with an eclectic approach. I always meet my clients where they are and include them in their treatment as experts on themselves. I’m looking forward to working with you on improving your quality of life!
