Meris Powell, LCSW, FIPA

Struggling with personal or professional relationships? Questioning where you want your life to take you? Procrastinating? Feeling down or sad? Consider therapy: Self-knowledge is good medicine. Speaking with a therapist in a collaborative relationship can give you a fresh perspective and help you change the way you understand your relationships and life. I am a patient, tolerant, empathic, reliable and responsive person. I bring to my work a sense of humor and a strong desire to stay up-to-date with advances in my field and related health fields. I have the expertise and training to work with individuals and couples across a wide range of concerns. Areas of special experience include anxiety and mood, bipolar and eating disorders, career development, relationships, and pressures that are particular to professional settings.

You can learn more about my writing, research and training by visiting my website. I co-edited a book about marriage: From the Heart: Men and Women Write Their Private Thoughts About Their Married Lives, Henry Holt & Company, 1994. I co-authored a journal article about diagnosis: Lessons learned from the clinical reappraisal study of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview with Latinos, International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research, Volume 18, Issue 2, pages 84-95, June 2009.
