Mikelle Powers, Licensed Independent Social Worker-Supervisor

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (I.2002389-SUPV) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, both from The Ohio State University. Credentials aside, my desire as a therapist is to be able to hold space with and for my clients as they process thoughts and emotions when it might feel too overwhelming to do alone. I’ve worked primarily with adults in both community mental health and private practice settings, who are experiencing behavioral and mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, crisis, grief and loss, relationship and identity challenges, major life transitions, mood conditions, and psychotic issues. I have experience utilizing different therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness and relaxation techniques. I am Level I trained in EMDR therapy and find it to be an effective therapy for a variety of issues.
