Getting to know Rachel Potter
A little about me…
I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. As part of my graduate training, I completed a 12-month Intensive Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Fellowship training. I have years of experience working in a variety of settings, including medical settings, addiction, chronic illness and eating disorders. I have also developed and facilitated numerous workshops on workplace well-being.
When I am not working, I like to relieve stress by hiking, lifting weights, working on a crossword puzzle, spending time in nature, or exploring a new part of the city.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I help individuals coping with chronic stress, including burnout and chronic illness, get “unstuck.” When your reality feels far away from what you want, it can feel discouraging, isolating, and frustrating. Sometimes it feels like no one else “gets it.” I work with people striving to become their best selves, whether that means overcoming burnout or lack of purpose, coping with chronic illness, or figuring out how to get from where you are now to where you want to be.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy is a partnership. We work together to enhance your strengths and change the thoughts/behaviors that are no longer serving you. I tailor my treatment approach to meet your specific goals/needs. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have experience in DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches.
I know it is hard to reach out and ask for help. By looking for a therapist, you've already taken the first step! My goal is to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Let's work together to build the life you are striving for!
