About Karina Powell, PhD

Philosophy of Care

Much of my training has been in rehabilitation neuropsychology, and it is from the tenets of this methodology that I aim to encourage and support optimal functional independence and quality of life for all my patients. I approach clinical practice with a strong belief in the importance of individualized treatment and care tailored to each patient’s needs. Shared decision making plays a central role in my clinical perspective. That is, in any interaction between a patient and provider, there are two experts in the room; the provider, who brings knowledge regarding their medical specialty and best practices within their field, and the patient, who is the expert in their own experiences, lifestyle, and personal values. It is my philosophy that the journey through neuropsychological assessment is enhanced with collaboration and active participation in a shared decision making approach.

General Info
Personal Interests

Outside of my clinical practice, I like to spend my time volunteering with FIRST Robotics programs, which provide opportunities for kids to explore STEM-related activities and community outreach through learning to build and program robots. When I'm not volunteering, I enjoy tabletop and board gaming, attending concerts and plays, watching movies, reading, gardening, traveling, exploring DIY home repairs and auto maintenance, and spending time with friends and family.
