I’m glad you’re here.
For nearly 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve had the privilege of helping folks through some of life’s messier chapters—relationship troubles, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and those seasons where you look around and think, “How in the world did I get here?”
If you're looking for someone who will be in your corner, listen without judgment, and still call you on your stuff when you need it—I'm your person.
Life can be messy. You don't have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Sometimes you just need another voice, a different perspective, and someone willing to sit with you while you figure out where you want to go.
My approach is individualized, practical, and down-to-earth. I draw from approaches such as CBT, DBT, EFT, IFS, and others, choosing what fits you rather than trying to fit you into one particular treatment model. I believe therapy should have purpose, but it doesn't have to feel stiff or clinical. I use humor when appropriate, keep things conversational, and believe there is room for both hard work and a good laugh.
I'm empathetic and supportive, but I'm also a realist. I won't simply tell you what you want to hear. Sometimes being your ally means gently challenging the thoughts, behaviors, or patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal isn't to judge you—it's to help you understand yourself, make meaningful changes, and move toward the life and relationships you want.
I call myself an optimistic realist. I don't have all the answers, and I won't pretend that life's storms can always be avoided. But I believe you can learn how to navigate them differently.
Every day is another opportunity to begin again. Let's figure out where you want to go—and then work together to help you get there.
My name is Amanda Potter, Licensed Independent Clinical Social worker. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Simmons College in 2010. I also have a BA in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, class of 2005.
I have a background in working with people of many different age ranges, coping with many different issues. Recently I have honed my focus down to working with people coping with grief and loss.
While my full-time work is as a middle school assistant principal, I have maintained a private practice for the last five years due to my love of working with clients on an individual level. I work with clients from pre-teen to adults with a focus on anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and LGBTQ issues. I also have worked with families to help them navigate the special education world within school systems.
I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and perinatal mental health — and I hold particular expertise working with military service members, veterans, and people navigating pregnancy loss, infertility, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety. I understand military culture in a way that's hard to put into words, and I take it seriously. I also know that the experience of losing a pregnancy or struggling to get pregnant can feel profoundly isolating, especially when the world expects you to move on before you're ready. These are the exact spaces I've spent my career learning to hold well. I use evidence-based approaches — including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), CBT, and ACT — because I believe you deserve more than good listening. You deserve treatment that has a track record of actually working.
I bring both my personal recovery experience and professional training to my work in alcohol and drug counseling, backed by a Master’s in Education in Psychological Studies and licensure as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people through the ups and downs of addiction and mental health challenges, and I’m committed to supporting each person’s unique path to healing.
I have a PhD in clinical psychology with a focus on behavioral medicine. I have over 15 years experience helping people like you feel better by improving their mental and physical health. Let's work together to get you feeling better and living your best life! I currently provide telehealth to clients in Massachusetts, Texas, and Florida.
Hello! My name is Nicole, she/hers pronouns, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have worked with multiple different populations, across the lifespan. I have been trained in different cognitive based therapeutic modalities, and specialize in trauma treatment. I am currently employed as a Clinical Supervisor in an outpatient mental health clinic, providing direct clinical support to providers and patients.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and art therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, emotional highs and lows, and complicated relationships with alcohol or drugs.
My background in art therapy means there is always another way in when words feel like too much. Creative approaches are optional, but available for those who want them.
Outside of the office, I crochet, travel, go to concerts, and practice flow arts. That curiosity and creativity carries into how I work with clients.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in diagnosing and treating mental health as well as medical conditions across the lifespan. I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric nursing and have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, and ADHD. I work with adults and adolescents, and I’m experienced in supporting individuals navigating different mental health conditions.
