Getting to know Payton Potts

Hi, I’m Payton. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and young adults who are having a hard time with big feelings, stress, anxiety, sadness, or changes in their lives. Many of the kids and teens I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure how to talk about what’s going on, and that’s okay! My goal is to help them feel supported, heard, and less alone. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and focus on building trust first. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” kids, but it’s about helping them understand their emotions, learn skills to cope with stress, and feel more confident being themselves. I often support young people who struggle with emotional outbursts, self-criticism, friendships, family changes, or school pressure. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, but I keep sessions practical and engaging. I also believe parents and caregivers play an important role, and I work collaboratively with families and care teams to support growth both in and outside of sessions. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where children and families can build resilience, strengthen communication, and move forward together.
