Hello! My name is Susana Potter, LMHC, BC-DMT, and I am a body-centered psychotherapist with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. My expertise in dance/movement therapy allows me to understand that often times mental health disorder is rooted in a lack of connection with the body. I offer an embodied approach to counseling which goes beyond traditional talk therapy and integrates dance therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, yoga therapy and mindfulness.
In addition to working with Betterhelp, I also own a private practice where I work with adults who deal with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, relationship issues, & trauma. I am passionate about my work in uplifting BIPOC, queer folks and allies to feel empowered enough to create the life they want. At the core of my private practice is a firm mission of inclusivity and diversity competence.

My Therapeutic Style:
I offer an embodied focus to help you move past difficult situations, trust your gut and live life fearlessly. I can help you master mindfulness skills so that you can live your life NOW and break free from depression, anxiety and trauma. I will meet you exactly where you are and navigate this journey with you.
I believe that although not everyone is dealt the same hand in life, each individual has the potential to create the life they want. I believe that true change requires understanding and the willingness to accept. I am proud to serve LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identified individuals. Am I the right therapist for you? Follow that "gut feeling."

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susana Potter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Susana is really good at listening and asking all the right questions to get you to really think about why you do the things you do and move the way you move. She is non-judgemental, shows up on time for sessions and has a structured way of running her sessions. I would highly recommend Susana if you're ready to really dig deep and understand why you are the way you are and identify ways to live life in a way that honors yourself and your values.
