I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 20 years of nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practices, community health centers, and behavioral health settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other complex mental health concerns.
My career also includes international humanitarian work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), where I cared for individuals affected by conflict and crisis. This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.
My goal is to partner with you to develop practical, individualized strategies that improve emotional well-being, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.
My journey in this field began with a fascination for individual development across the lifespan, particularly in relational and identity formation. I earned my B.S. in Developmental Psychology and Women & Gender Studies, which laid the foundation for my interest in this field. Following my undergraduate studies, I completed two terms of service with AmeriCorps, providing support to individuals and families at Community Resource Centers in California throughout the Sacramento and Bay Area. Through these experiences, I gained valuable insight into how strong communities are built by supporting the well-being of individuals and families. This work ultimately inspired me to pursue an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Sonoma State University.
With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, work-life balance, and women’s issues. While I offer a supportive and empathetic space, I also believe in gently challenging clients to promote growth. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply need a space to process, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to live.
Having grown up in Taiwan, studied in the U.S., and spent a few years in China and Singapore, I truly understand what it feels like to adapt to new environments while trying to stay true to yourself. You work hard, yet it never feels like enough. You’re overwhelmed but can’t slow down. Your mind races, making it hard to feel grounded. You want stronger connections, more balance, and to feel present in your life. Most of all, you want to feel at ease with yourself and trust that who you are is enough. It’s not just about adjusting; it’s about finding a way to thrive while honoring where you come from. Since 2008, I’ve worked with English- and Mandarin-speaking adults facing major life shifts, whether it’s stress, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or career uncertainty. You do not have to face these challenges alone; together, we'll create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC) who provides warm, supportive space for individuals seeking growth and healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns, using evidence based approaches tailored to each client. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and confident as they work toward meaningful change.
We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!
My name is Shnarika Powell, though I go by Simone, and I am the lead provider at Champion Wellness & Psychiatry, a faith-based private practice in Washington state. I have a big heart, a passion for listening, and a deep dedication to helping you restore peace, positivity, and self-love. My core values are rooted in compassion, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing the mental well-being of the individuals and families I serve. I specialize in treating anxiety and major depression, with a dedicated focus on supporting men and women struggling with weight management and obesity.
Are You Ready to Anchor Yourself? When life delivers a major medical diagnosis, a devastating loss, or the relentless buzz of trauma and anxiety, it is easy to feel entirely unmoored. I provide specialized online psychotherapy to adults across California, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington who are ready to stop just surviving and start reclaiming their lives.My approach centers on controlling what is controllable. Together, we identify practical, clear steps you can take right now to find clarity, process deep-seated emotional pain, and restore your confidence.
I believe effective mental health care starts with feeling heard, respected, and understood. I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach and work closely with you to understand your goals, concerns, and life context—not just your symptoms.
I value clear communication and transparency, so I’ll explain diagnoses, treatment options, and medications in a way that’s easy to understand. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed about your care, not rushed or overwhelmed.
I provide evidence-based medication management while considering the whole person—mental, emotional, and physical health. I welcome questions and encourage active participation in treatment decisions so we can create a plan that truly fits your needs.
Whether you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, or ongoing medication management, I aim to create a supportive, safe space where progress feels achievable and care feels personal.
Life doesn’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you simply want to understand yourself better, strengthen your relationships, or stop feeling like you’re just getting through each day. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together at your pace in a supportive, compassionate environment focused on meaningful, lasting change.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
