LET'S COLLABORATE.
Bring aviation psychology, human performance, and mental health expertise into the work you're already doing.
Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD works with aviation organizations, universities, providers, brands, media, and professional communities to create meaningful education and resources for the people behind aviation.
AVIATION IS A TEAM SPORT.
The aviation community is made up of more than pilots.
It's made up of crews, controllers, maintenance professionals, dispatchers, instructors, students, leaders, families, educators, organizations, and the people building the future of aviation.
The psychological demands of aviation touch all of them. That's where collaboration comes in.
Dr. Powell partners with organizations and professionals who want to bring a psychologically informed perspective to the aviation community.
"Different organizations reach different parts of aviation. Collaboration allows us to reach more of it."

"I grew up around pilots. I speak aviation before I speak clinical."
A PSYCHOLOGIST WHO SPEAKS AVIATION.
Dr. Powell grew up in aviation — her father, grandfather, and uncle were all airline pilots, and she's married to a Navy SEAL turned pilot. She is one of the few licensed psychologists who started her private practice based around aviation and the people who serve within the community.
Her approach is direct, evidence-informed, and solution-focused. She bridges clinical rigor, nervous system education, and human performance to keep aviation professionals operating safely and living well.

BUILT FOR AVIATION.
GROUNDED IN PSYCHOLOGY.
Aviation has its own culture, language, pressures, schedules, identity, and professional consequences. Mental health education designed for the general population doesn't always translate directly into aviation. Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD brings a psychology-first perspective that understands the aviation environment.
Collaboration can address the actual realities aviation professionals experience:
"Psychology is more useful when it understands the environment it's being applied to."
WHY WORK TOGETHER?
AVIATION-SPECIFIC EXPERTISE
Dr. Powell brings psychological expertise together with a deep understanding of aviation culture and the people who work within it.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION
The goal isn't simply to talk about mental health. It's to create useful, applicable tools that aviation professionals can actually use.
CREDIBLE PSYCHOLOGY
Content and education are grounded in psychological principles, human behavior, and evidence-informed practice.
A HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH
Aviation professionals are more than their roles. Collaboration should address the whole person, including the realities of life beyond work.
EXPANDING THE CONVERSATION
The Aviation Mindset is a growing platform focused on aviation psychology, human performance, wellness, and the realities of life beyond the flight deck. Created by Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD, The Aviation Mindset brings psychology and aviation together through practical education, interactive resources, and conversations designed specifically for aviation professionals.
