ABOUT DR. POWELL

I received my undergraduate degree from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island majoring in both Psychology as well as Human Development & Educational Studies. Upon graduation, I began my doctorate in clinical psychology from American University in Washington, DC and completed clinical training at  Children’s National Medical Center.  My research examined the emergence of unique cognitive profiles in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. While in graduate school I was awarded a Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities & Related Disorders (LEND) fellowship at Children's National Medical Center. I also completed a two-year fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center (CSC) where I received intensive generalist training as well as a specialization in autism. I have been on faculty at the CSC since 2013, and have maintained a small private practice since 2015.
