Dr. Chaunise 'Chaun" Powell (LCSW)

I’m warm, solution-focused, conversational and unapologetically authentic—with just enough edge to keep it real. I’ve been told I’m pretty funny too, so expect some laughs along the way. I work with folks navigating a range of life situations and transitions. My practice includes but not limited to individuals who may be experiencing trauma, exploring identity, or struggling with confidence and motivation, which can show up in various ways such as feelings of overwhelm, stress, sadness, anger, or other intense emotions. Whatever it may be for you, know this, I won’t lie to you—or co-sign the lies you tell yourself. What I am 100% going to do is gently call attention to what you’re not saying and what you’re avoiding, or maybe what is not in your awareness, yet. My intention is simple: to support you in navigating your pain, not avoiding it. Because the truth is, the only way out is through. Not above it, not around it, not under it—through it. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone. We are in this collaborative process together, and you have support every step of the way. Use the tools, show up honestly, and together we’ll work toward creating conditions for you to live your best life and thrive—mind, body, and soul. Drawing from community defined, and evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to develop resilience, self-love, and meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs and strengths.
