Meg Powers, M.S.

My interest in psychology is a synthesis of my interest in scientific research and my desire to help and connect with others. I believe strongly in the power of therapy to illuminate maladaptive patterns, enhance feelings of agency, and identify paths forward towards a meaningful and fulfilling life. I am also passionate about how oppressive systems influence mental health. I aim to validate my clients' lived experiences and situate them within important contexts and identities. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to address each client's unique presentation and concerns. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship between myself and my clients, and I strive to make my clients feel safe and understood as we work towards their goals. 

I am currently in my 4th year of the Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Louisville. Thus far, my clinical experiences have included a wide range of presentations and identities. I've primarily worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal concerns. My research focuses on racism, specifically how racist ideology and behavior are perpetuated and disrupted within White communities.

In my free time, I enjoy hot yoga, traveling, and reading literary fiction novels!
