Meet Dr. Carrie Potter
PSYCHOLOGIST
Clinical Philosophy
Dr. Potter is a Psychologist who specializes in the use of Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic therapies in the treatment of anxiety and traumatic stress. Her approach is to help individuals gain a clearer understanding of the underpinnings of their emotional struggles and identify any problematic patterns that are showing up in their lives. That knowledge becomes the platform for developing a personalized, strategic approach to change.
We all wish to be less avoidant of things, but anxiety holds us back when we don’t have the tools for understanding and working with it,” says Dr. Potter. “I want to help clients find the rich and fulfilling kind of life they want. So together we imagine what that life looks like and then we map out a plan and bring it to fruition.
Specialization
Dr. Potter has made significant contributions to the understanding of the nature and origins of anxiety and related disorders and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard Medical School. She has published over 25 papers relevant to her work as a therapist and to the mechanisms of change in psychotherapy, and has obtained a grant from the National Institutes of Health to research adult anxiety.
I love getting to spend my day talking to other people and helping them make meaningful changes that positively impact their relationships, because at the end of the day I find that feeling closer to and more connected with others is the best thing that my clients get out of our work together.
Tenure
Since receiving her doctorate from Temple University in Philadelphia, Dr. Potter has logged extensive clinical hours in numerous settings (college counseling centers, outpatient clinics, and a VA hospital) working with patients living with serious psychological disorders (including mood, trauma-related, personality, substance use, and psychotic disorders), while borrowing from a number of treatment modalities (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy).
