The mission of Power to Heal LLC is to embody & co-create a sanctuary for healing & self-exploration.

Meet Joanna Crowell MS, LPC, LADC, NCC, AADC
I am passionate about helping people make positive changes. Healing is a process of looking toward the future with the wisdom from our past. My role is to encourage and inspire a process that helps you to reassemble your life in a way that fosters greater meaning and purpose. I am here to support you in your healing from trauma, substance use, and difficult life events. As a trauma specialist, I am a certified EMDR therapist who also holds a certification as a HeartMath practitioner. I believe in integrating holistic health into your healing process. In my free time, you are likely to find me hiking in the woods, traveling to national parks, spending time with family and friends, or practicing meditation. I devote my personal time to laughter, healthy living, and my own personal well-being. Meet Melissa Ortiz-Sinclair, MS, LPCA
I am a strength-based and person-centered therapist. I use different modalities within my practice such as CBT, DBT, and am also trained in EMDR. During treatment, I will teach you how to challenge and reframe negative thoughts to build a stronger and more joyful version of yourself. We will work together to find the best tools and modalities to help you meet goals and enhance your life. I’m empathetic, calm, and passionate about helping clients realize their greatest potential. Outside of learning about the human mind, I am a martial arts enthusiast, and have practiced karate for over a decade. I also enjoy strength training, bird watching, and spending time with my husband and our two rescue cats, Travis, and Odin.

✨ New Year, New You! ✨
A new year brings a fresh opportunity to care for your mind and make meaningful changes that support your emotional well-being. If you’ve been feeling stuck in certain thought patterns or reacting to stress in ways that leave you drained, this may be the perfect time to explore how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help.
CBT focuses on understanding the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It helps you recognize unhelpful or self-critical thinking and gently replace those thoughts with ones that are more balanced and empowering. Over time, these small mental shifts lead to big changes. You start to respond to challenges with clarity, manage anxiety more effectively, and feel more in control of your emotions.
Therapy is not about becoming a “new person.” It is about becoming more you, the version of yourself that feels confident, calm, and capable of handling life’s ups and downs. You deserve a year filled with growth, peace, and self-compassion. This can be the year you make that investment in yourself and your well-being 💛

Christmas isn’t the same for everybody.

For some, this season brings joy and connection. For others, it brings grief, loneliness, or reminders of loss. If the holidays feel heavy, you are not alone and you are not broken.

Let’s honor the differences in how this season is experienced. Let’s lead with heart and compassion for ourselves and for those carrying pain we may not see.
There is room for joy and there is room for grief. Both can exist.

Family can be messy. The holidays can be hard.
But connection with self and rigorous self-love can bring the magic back into this season.

This is your reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and honor what you need.
Protect your peace. Take breaks when emotions run high. Step outside for fresh air. Create boundaries that keep you grounded. Choose presence over perfection.

The holidays don’t have to be something you survive.
With compassion, intention, and gentle care, they can become a time of reflection, reconnection, and genuine warmth, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

You are allowed to make this season kinder to your nervous system and truer to your heart.

There is something powerful about witnessing someone rise into their own strength.
In therapy, we don’t lead the climb — we give encouragement and highlight the inner strength that already lives within our clients. We walk beside them, steady and present, helping them see the gifts, courage, and resilience that were theirs all along.

Being of service means offering a hand when the terrain feels steep, and reflecting the truth that The Power To Heal lives within every person.
Our work is to help you recognize that strength, trust it, and take the next step toward your fullest potential.

You are capable.
You are rising.
And you don’t have to climb alone.

Healing happens in real time, through your body, your breath, and your lived experience.

At Power to Heal, EMDR and mindfulness come together to help you gently process the past while staying grounded in the present. You don’t have to navigate trauma on your own. With the right support, each session becomes a step toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional ease.

Therapy here is a collaborative process, not something that is done to you. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, check in often, and adjust the work based on what your mind and body are telling us that day. The relationship itself becomes part of the healing, built on trust, respect, and the sense that you have someone in your corner who really gets it.

Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Step by step, we create a space where your story is honored, your emotions are welcome, and your nervous system can slowly learn that it is safe to soften and let go.

Your nervous system already knows how to heal. We’re here to help it remember.

When You Are Ready to Break Old Patterns

If you feel stuck but also feel a spark, however small, that wants life to look different… that spark is enough. You do not have to have it all figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to wonder, “What if things could be another way?”

In therapy, we gently explore the patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, your choices, your self-talk, and your body. Together we get curious about where those patterns began, how they once protected you, and why they no longer fit the life you want now. Awareness becomes the first doorway to change.

From there, CBT helps you notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep pulling you back into the same loop. You begin to name the old stories, challenge them, and practice new ways of responding that are more aligned with your values and your current reality. Small shifts over time start to create new habits and new possibilities.

EMDR supports this work by helping your nervous system release the emotional weight of the past. Instead of just understanding your patterns in your mind, you start to feel different in your body: less activated, less frozen, more able to pause and choose rather than react on autopilot. The grip of old experiences loosens, making room for a new way of being.

As you do this work, you may notice that you set clearer boundaries, speak up more honestly, or choose relationships and environments that support your growth. You begin to trust yourself in a deeper way and move through the world with more ease, self-respect, and self-compassion.

Your next chapter begins with one honest conversation.

Healing Is a Return to Yourself

Trauma can pull you far from the person you were meant to be. With EMDR, mindfulness, and integrative psychotherapy, you begin reconnecting with the parts of yourself that learned to go quiet under stress, fear, and old stories.

Healing is not about fixing what is wrong. It is about remembering what is already whole. It is about softening into safety, reclaiming your voice, and allowing the parts of you that once felt lost to come home.

At Power to Heal, we walk beside you with steadiness, presence, and compassion so you never have to navigate this process alone. Every step you take back toward yourself matters.

You are not broken. You are becoming. You are unfolding into who you were always meant to be.

11/22/2025

You are not broken. You are healing from what happened to you.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and it isn’t meant to look perfect. It’s a return to yourself, piece by piece, moment by moment. What you’re feeling is not a flaw in who you are… it’s evidence that you’re moving through something that once overwhelmed your system.

Give yourself patience. Give yourself gentleness.
Progress often whispers long before it roars.

Your story isn’t over — you are becoming.

11/20/2025

Your why matters, therapy isn't about what is wrong, it is about what is ready to be healed.
In this space we honor the part of you that is reaching for relief, understanding, and growth. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself, it is about listening to the deeper wisdom that has been waiting for your attention. At Power to Heal we walk beside you as you uncover clarity, release old patterns, and step into who you are becoming. Your readiness is your strength and your courage is already the beginning of your transformation.
