Mallory V. Powell, M.A.S.P.
​Psychologist

Mallory Powell is a Registered Psychologist and current member of the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia. She specializes in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing a variety of learning, mental health, and behavioral challenges. Mallory obtained a Bachelor of Sciences Honours Degree in Psychology in 2009 and a Master Degree in School Psychology in 2011.
 
From 2011-2016, Mallory worked as a Psychologist in Charlottetown, PEI, in both a school and private setting.  In 2016, Mallory and her family moved back to Elmsdale, NS. Prior to joining SOAR Psychological Services, she worked four years as a School Psychologist in the CCRCE. During that time, Mallory also provided psychological services for the Colchester East Hants ADHD Clinic in collaboration with the CCRCE.
 
Mallory has extensive experience in Psycho-Educational Assessments from her time working in school settings. She has gained comprehensive training directly working with children, adolescents, their families, and school personnel in psychotherapy, intervention, and consultation. Mallory is also bilingual and can offer academic assessments in French as part of a comprehensive educational assessment.
 
Mallory’s therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques; however, with all clients, treatment is tailored to meet each person’s specific needs. Above all else, a strong rapport and alliance between herself and the client is the most important factor in growth and success. She builds this rapport through trust, authenticity, and honesty.
