"I have been seeing Ms. Powell on and off for 2 years. She knows how to get me where I need to be by allowing me to get there by myself, without leading me down the path. She is willing to let me go when I am ready, however, her door is always open should I need to return."
|
I have found working with her to be comforting, enlightening and a very pleasurable experience. |
I definitely recommend Garlande Powell as a credible mentor for anyone who needs assistance to get through and over the difficult situations that life can throw at us. |
"Garlande Powell was key in helping me maintain some semblance of calm and mindfulness during the time of my separation and divorce after 30 years of marriage, through Covid life changes, and the death of my mother from dementia with resulting extreme grief on my father’s part.
What initially was a mutual and ‘friendly’ separation of my marriage turned into a horrific situation that left me broken in mind, heart, soul and emotionally because of the sheer meanness and hatred with which I was being suddenly treated for reasons still unknown to me. In the midst of this, Covid hit and shortly after we were starting to re-emerge into the world, my mother passed. Garlande acted as my sounding board for my venting, listening with an empathetic ear and offering kind words and helpful advice which ultimately kept me moving forward. I am now, for the most part, stable and adjusting and can even say I am happy!" |

I was a client of Garlande Powell for over two years. She helped me through a really rough time in my life. She gave me the tools that I needed to process things and move forward. I am at an amazing place in life right now and I thank her for her part in helping me get here.

I want to encourage anyone reading my words to run as fast as you can towards your own freedom from pain and into your own healing with Garlande. |
"When I started seeing Garlande I was, as I call it, very messed up. As I walked through the door for the very first time Garlande created such a safe gently guiding atmosphere which was so necessary for me as I was going through a horrific divorce from a narcissist husband. Her wisdom and her loving acceptance of me right where I was really helped me move forward in my healing and in my making healthier choices for my life. I want to encourage anyone reading my words to run as fast as you can towards your own freedom from pain and into your own healing with Garlande. She will walk with you through it all graciously, strong, and by your side. She holds on when you can’t, she listens when there is no one hearing, and she leads when it’s hard for you to move. Thank you Garlande for all you do!!!!"

"I have been a client of Garlande's for over three years. She's guided me in reframing how I think about my divorce, several job changes, and starting a business from scratch. She's always helped me to remember to be kind to myself, keep self-care a top priority, and to keep going to my church and staying plugged in all through the change goes my life's taken. There's so much to be thankful for, but Garlande is definitely one of them!"

"I started seeing Garlande 7 years ago at the nudging of my concerned husband due to uncharacteristic depression, it was evident to my family I was not functioning well in my life. I cried through the first 2 sessions and as we slowly started to unpack my reasons of sadness. Garlande was able to quickly assess and gently ask the questions that made me recognize what had got me to this point; and it was much more than I realized.
I cannot imagine where I would be without Garlande and her professional wisdom, thoughtful questions and her ever patient listening ear. She has passed me a tissue box when there were tears , laughed with me when there was irony and been an amazing mental health professional. Her knowledge has helped me learn a whole host of various tools which has made me better equipped to handle lifes hard events, dysfunctional relationships and toxic people. Because of counseling I have come out stronger, healthier, calmer and able to face life with healthier outcomes. Being helped by Garlande is a blessing. She is a combination of a wonderful friend who loves the Lord, but yet has the training and wisdom of Solomon when it comes to depression, addiction, anxiety, and a whole host of other trials, and tribulations that come with this earthly life. She is a willing partner and trail blazer in your personal journey to better mental health, which leads to better physical , emotional and yes spiritual health. It is clear Garlande is operating in her calling and gifting, she is a gem and a true God send, don't wait." |

A good therapist can gently or boldly pull out the truth. You fit the bill. |
Garlande, thanks for being such a good, good therapist! A doctor here described an effective therapist as one who does/knows these 3 things: one who knows your story, knows pattern recognition, and knows your blindspots. A good therapist can gently or boldly pull out the truth. You fit the bill.

After a few sessions with Garland, I began to feel much better. |
Several months ago, I realized that I had lost my footing in regards to my mental and spiritual health. Being very independent, I thought I could work it out on my own. What a mistake! After a few sessions with Garland, I began to feel much better. There was a feeling of renewal. She has the ability to listen with her heart which gives comfort and reassurance. She creates a truly safe place for one to simply be themselves which is also healing. I hold deep gratitude for Garland and appreciate the difference she has made in my journey.
