Founder/Clinician/KAP Provider

Nancy Potts, LMHC

Therapy is a collaborative endeavor that requires a deep sense of safety if clients are to risk creating the change they long for. I believe it is very important to cultivate a secure relationship.

Much of my work includes working with those healing from many different kinds of complex trauma: physical & sexual abuse, depression and anxiety however, my work is not limited to those issues. I am also a KAP (ketamine assisted psychotherapy) provider.

Clinician, CASAC/KAP Provider

Samuel Washington, LMHC

I believe successful counseling experiences begin through relationships. I use individually tailored counseling tools such as brief psychodynamic exploration, mindfulness training, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), narrative, breathwork, goal setting, and solution focus to offer clients an opportunity to look deep within themselves for answers to life’s questions.

I specialize in working with adults and families that have experienced and are working through trauma related issues, grief and bereavement issues, and substance abuse issues. In addition, I specialize in working with adult and emerging adult males looking to process emotions, feelings, stress, and interpersonal relationships. I am also a KAP (ketamine assisted psychotherapy) provider.

Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties. We will collaborate to find healthy ways to perceive yourself and strengthen the relationships around you. You are the expert of your own life experience. As a team we will challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors, ultimately helping you gain the confidence to make decisions and the courage to make change.

A major area of focus within work consists of working with folks who are struggling with various forms of complex trauma, such as physical and sexual abuse, depression, substance use and anxiety. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of needs.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP)

We offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): the use of ketamine as a compliment to psychotherapy. I deliver KAP in my practice in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical, which has a specialized medical team that determines eligibility for KAP, prescribing ketamine lozenges, and supports me in monitoring outcomes. If you are interested, email me to discuss eligibility and the next steps.

Couples Therapy

Couples counseling, also known as marriage counseling, is a type of counseling for intimate partners. It involves exploration of any conflicts between the partners, is often short term, and focuses on specific problems. Other goals of couples counseling are to improve communication and interactions and to strengthen relationships.
