I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years experience treating Depression, Anxiety, and difficulties adjusting to life changes and transitions. I base most of my work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people gain insight into their thoughts and feelings. I also incorporate Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems Therapy into my work as appropriate. I offer specialized treatment to clients who have experienced abuse, assault and other traumas including military trauma. I have experience with adoption/fostering issues, family conflict, LGBTQI individuals, and parenting support. I am open and accepting of people with all identities and life situations.
My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on real, positive change. I will work to build a strong and trusting relationship with you, while simultaneously offering concrete skills that you can begin to use right away. Through our work together you can heal, become stronger and more at peace, and refocus your direction forward.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Meagan Powlas. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Meagan has been incredibly understanding and patient with me as I've been working through my issues. She's boosted my confidence subtly overtime, and I feel extremely connected to her as my therapist. I was scared of not connecting to my therapist, but she has made it easy for me because she is so helpful in addressing my needs. She's challenged me to dig deeper on the sources of my struggles, while supporting my overall balance and general mental well-being.
