Katie Potts
I am a passionate advocate for social justice and am committed to destigmatizing mental health disorders. Whether you are grappling with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or matters related to sex and gender, my aim is to provide you with the support you need on your personal journey.
At times, having someone to provide a non-judgmental safe listening space that promotes self-reflection, psychoeducation, and a growth mindset is incredibly empowering.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about my practice at katiepottsmft@gmail.com. Please note that I do not work with children or adolescents. For additional information regarding couples therapy, please contact me.
First session
In our initial session, we will focus on gathering information to establish therapeutic goals. I will also address any concerns you may have about the treatment process and how therapy can assist you in overcoming your challenges. Additionally, we will explore strategies to facilitate your learning and facilitate positive changes.
Strengths
I specialize in fostering healing within relationships, whether they are painful, bewildering, or simply unsatisfying. My goal is to empower you to effectively manage challenging emotions and navigate complex situations, enabling you to move through life transitions and issues with enhanced confidence and ease. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with clients within the LGBTQ+ community, assisting them in building healthier relationships with their own identities and establishing boundaries with others in their lives.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adult individuals and Couples. I am trained as an LGPTQIA+ affirmative therapist. I have extensive experience working with either monogamous, polyamorous, or ethical nonmonogamy couples and individuals.
Treatment methods
Gottman method
Gottman is a couples therapy approach that aims to improve relationships through research-based interventions and education. You'll learn to communicate better, increase intimacy, manage conflict, and build admiration with your partner/partners.
Humanistic
When we focus on the whole person, rather than just our thought processes, we heal the whole person. Humanistic psychologists believe that people are influenced by their self-perceptions and the meanings they attach to their experiences, and that their behavior is connected to their inner feelings and self-image.
Somatic
We'll use Somatic therapy to explore how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery.
