Meagan H. Powlas, LCSW
After working in community mental health in Durham for 10 years, I started my private practice in 2016. I am honored to be part of the Radical Healing community, where I am able to serve clients of many identities and experiences.

My areas of specialty include: serving LGBTQ individuals with a focus on those who are trans and gender questioning, parenting support, pregnancy and post-partum issues, family therapy, adoption/fostering issues, adapting to life changes and stressors, supporting people who love someone with mental illness or substance use problems, trauma treatment, anger, anxiety, and depression.

My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, while encouraging movement towards sustainable change. Each person’s needs are different, and I seek to strike the right balance between providing support and teaching skills for a better life. My treatment modalities include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  I am also informed by feminist theory, awareness of oppression, and mindfulness practice.
