Cynthia Powell, Ph.D., LPC-S

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Parenting Specialist
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)

I specialize in providing parent consultation as well as therapy services for school-aged children and adults in life transitions. With over 30 years’ experience as a counselor in public and private schools I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that families and individuals face during critical periods of development and change. For the past 11 years, I have worked in a highly competitive independent school as counselor and coordinator of wellness and I have witnessed the effects of the pressure students experience to excel academically, navigate social dynamics and manage rigorous schedules.

In addition to providing support to individual students and their parents I have been able to develop programs to support students’ holistic development and social emotional wellbeing. I am committed to helping children and their parents navigate the path to wellbeing through therapy and offer a supportive and collaborative space where we can explore the complexities of life, develop coping strategies and emerge stronger and more resilient.
