ElizabethAnn Potts LCSW

During the first session, I will have you explain the reason you are seeking therapy and ask you to answer questions about relevant past and current stressors. We will complete an intake, discuss therapy goals and I will answer any questions you may have. I will ensure that you feel heard and supported. If I am unable to work with you because I lack adequate expertise, I will tell you that and assist with a referral to someone more knowledgeable and skilled. At each additional session, I will check in with you to discuss what has been helpful or not helpful and how to measure your progress so that adjustments to the therapeutic process can be made. I will guide you through the treatment, but you have to put in the work.

I employ and individualized approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution Therapy, Mindfulness practices, journaling as appropriate, worksheets, and Reality Therapy. I encourage those with substance misuse to develop a support network. This can be 12 step programs, church groups, specialized women's recovery groups, etc. or positive friends and family. I will not work with anyone actively engaged in addiction. Teletherapy is not the proper treatment venue for active addiction.
