Whiteville, NC 28472
Talking to a stranger about your problems is very difficult and one of the most vulnerable things you can do. There is a lot of stigma surrounding getting help for mental health despite the cultural shift in our society to seek out professional assistance. I understand both all too well and don't take it lightly when someone reaches out to schedule with me. It is a very delicate time and I do my best to make sure you are comfortable and your needs are addressed. It is my objective to make sure you feel you are in a safe space and receive nonjudgmental evidence based care.

I am a firm believer in individualized medicine. Therefore, I usually take time to get to know the person and their life first and then evaluate the medical information in the context of that individual's experiences. I believe that this approach makes for an effective diagnosis and treatment process.

Are you as frustrated with the medical system as I am? Do you wish your provider had more time to spend with you? Do you wish you were on less meds – or in some cases - none at all? Do you wish you felt healthy and well, both mentally and physically? Hi! My name is Laurie Powers and I have been a medical provider for over 30 years, more than 20 of these in psychiatry. I am a PA certified in Psychiatry and Primary Care. Frustrated with the system, I decided to go back to school to learn how to treat disease using a healthy lifestyle, something that is lacking in our American medical system that focuses on Big Pharma.

Therapy and Medication - My vision is to see a person move through the stages of healing and truly feel whole. I often hear people say they feel "broken". I totally disagree with that. No one is broken, you may have parts that need to heal but you are not broken. True healing can happen. It takes hard work and the right person in your corner. It takes time, time to truly understand your thoughts and feelings. I promise that it happens. We know this is not a linear process, it is steps forward and steps backward but moving in the right direction every step of the way is what matters most, those backward steps are progress too!
