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.

The most important part of getting started in therapy isn’t where you go, it’s who you work with.

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance, the genuine, trusting connection between you and your therapist, is one of the strongest predictors of healing and growth.

That’s why it’s okay (and important) to shop around. Ask questions. Trust your gut. The right fit can make all the difference in your journey toward health, balance, and self-understanding.

Healing starts with feeling safe to be yourself. 💛

We've been bringing more HeartMath into our sessions. It’s a way of slowing down and tuning in, finding that quiet connection between your heart and your breath. With the monitor you get immediate feedback on how you're doing.

When we do this, something clicks. Your body softens, your mind follows, and suddenly everything feels a bit more in sync.

It’s less about fixing and more about feeling, letting your heart lead the way back to calm.Watching clients drop into that space is always powerful. It’s like witnessing their whole system remember what it feels like to come home.

Spring is finally here along the Connecticut shoreline.

The air feels lighter, the sun is starting to get a little warmer, and soon it’ll be time to kick off our shoes and wade into the water.

Even when everything around us is waking up again, it’s not always easy to feel that same sense of renewal inside. Old thoughts and patterns can linger, holding us back from feeling free.

Having someone to walk beside you can help a counselor who can listen, reflect, and help you let go of what’s been weighing you down.

At Power to Heal in Westbrook, we’re here to support your growth, at a pace that feels right, one grounded step at a time.

This shift into spring just feels… softer.

Like the world is slowly waking up
and reminding us we don’t have to rush our own growth either.

a little more quiet,
a little more space,
a little more care.
the power to heal

Sometimes that looks like getting outside.
Sometimes it’s doing nothing at all.
Sometimes it’s therapy… having a place to actually sort through what’s been sitting underneath everything.

Nothing forced—
just tending to what’s ready 🌱

Hey there!

Welcome to Power to Heal LLC.We get it. Asking for help doesn’t always come naturally. Most of us are pretty good at pushing through, trying to hold it all together, or pretending it’s fine when it’s really not.That’s why we’re here.

We’re a group of down‑to‑earth therapists who meet you exactly where you’re at, with deep listening, genuine care, and a sense of humor when it’s needed most.We’ll walk alongside you, coffee in hand ☕, bringing our imperfect, human selves to the conversation—because in our humanity, we see yours.

Healing doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to start somewhere, and we’re honored to walk that path with you.

03/16/2026

I’m really happy to introduce you to someone wonderful on our team at Power to Heal.

Melissa Ortiz Sinclair is one of those people who just makes you feel at ease. She’s warm, genuine, and incredibly easy to talk to. The kind of person who listens without judgment and meets you exactly where you are.

Melissa has a real heart for working with people who have experienced trauma or PTSD. She understands how those experiences can linger and shape the way we feel about ourselves and the world around us. Her goal is simply to create a space where people feel safe enough to start untangling those experiences and moving toward healing.

She primarily uses EMDR therapy, which can be incredibly helpful for people who feel stuck in painful memories, anxiety, or patterns they can’t quite shake. Melissa brings a calm, steady presence to this work and walks alongside her clients every step of the way.
Right now Melissa works 100% virtually, which allows her to be home with her family while still doing the work she loves. It also means clients can connect with her from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

Melissa brings so much kindness, humility, and heart to her work, and we feel very lucky to have her as part of the Power to Heal family.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, Melissa is someone who will truly meet you with compassion and care.

A Hand When the Path Gets Steep

Sometimes the climb feels harder than we expected.
The path gets steep. The air gets thin. And it can feel like you’re carrying the weight alone.

At Power to Heal LLC, you don’t have to climb by yourself.

Our compassionate therapists meet you exactly where you are, with warmth, curiosity, and respect for your journey. Together, we help you sort through the attitudes, beliefs, and patterns that may be holding you back while identifying the strengths that will move you forward.

Therapy is not about someone telling you what to do.
It is about having a steady guide beside you, someone who helps you see the path more clearly and supports you as you move toward the life you truly want to live.
Sometimes all it takes is a hand when the path gets steep.

02/27/2026

What if the life you want isn’t out there — but inside you, waiting for safety?

At The Power to Heal LLC, we guide you in releasing the beliefs, behaviors, and trauma patterns that once helped you survive but are no longer helping you thrive.

When your nervous system feels safe, everything changes.

You think differently.
You choose differently.
You relate differently.

Therapy creates internal change that ripples outward into every part of your life.

Be happier.
Be healthier.
Become your own safe place.

Accepting new clients across Connecticut.

Imagine having a space where you can share your deepest thoughts without fear of judgment. A place where your story is heard, honored, and gently reshaped so it no longer weighs you down but helps you grow.

At Power to Heal, therapy is a partnership. We help you unpack what’s heavy, make sense of what feels tangled, and rebuild your inner world in a way that brings clarity, resilience, and hope. You don’t have to carry it alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Healing is possible, and your life can feel brighter and more aligned than you imagined. 🌿

02/06/2026

EMDR therapy is a gentle, research-backed approach that helps your brain unstick from painful experiences so they no longer shape how you see yourself.

Many of us carry old hurts that affect our self-esteem and self-worth. EMDR helps your mind and body reprocess those memories so they can stay in the past where they belong.

You don’t have to do this alone. With the right support, healing is possible. At Power To Heal, we’re here to walk with you toward clarity, confidence, and hope.
You deserve healing.

When you begin therapy, you are not just starting sessions. You are choosing to move toward the life you want. At Power to Heal LLC, our mission is to walk alongside you as you work toward your goals, dreams, and a future that feels more aligned and fulfilling. Our therapists are trained professional counselors whose focus is helping you create meaningful, lasting change.

At the heart of this work is the relationship we build together. When you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted, something important shifts. You gain the safety to explore vulnerable emotions, gently challenge old patterns, and begin trusting yourself again. Therapy becomes a space where healing unfolds at your pace. It is a space where you can reconnect with your strengths, practice new ways of relating, and experience what compassionate connection feels like. Over time, that relationship becomes a model you carry with you, supporting healthier and more authentic connections well beyond the therapy room.
