I hold dual board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and an Adult Nurse Practitioner. I have extensive experience as an Adult Nurse Practitioner which offers an in-depth understanding of the relationship between medical and psychiatric illnesses. I provide medication management for mental health conditions. I do not provide therapy only.
As a mental health counselor and art therapist, I believe that healing begins with connection to ourselves, our stories, and our body’s innate wisdom. My approach is collaborative and empowering: you are in the driver’s seat of your own growth, and I’m here to support and guide you on that journey. As a Latina woman, I bring a culturally attuned and inclusive lens to my work. I understand that our identities, and cultural contexts profoundly shape our experiences. My goal is to create a welcoming space where all parts of you are seen, valued, and supported. A space that invites genuine transformation while honoring your story.

You are the expert in your own experience, I provide unwavering support, strategies and realistic optimism.
Counseling since 1987; (Masters, 1997).

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. While talking is the most obvious way for communication, I also love to incorporate our somatic experiences during sessions (with your agreement, of course). As an immigrant from Taiwan, it's also my mission to provide my expertise for people struggling with "fit in", while transitioning to any new environments.
My name is Amanda Potter, Licensed Independent Clinical Social worker. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Simmons College in 2010. I also have a BA in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, class of 2005.
I have a background in working with people of many different age ranges, coping with many different issues. Recently I have honed my focus down to working with people coping with grief and loss.
As your therapist I will work alongside you to help you learn to identify your emotions, learn healthy ways to express yourself, and healthy and effective ways of communicating with others. Together we will also identify your strengths as well as possible unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns and how they relate to your everyday experiences and emotions.
We are working together to help you on your journey. I am openminded, direct and creative in my approach. When appropriate I use humor. I am an observer by nature and curious about my clients and their journey
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing medication
management and therapy for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. I treat ADHD,
depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and related conditions. I also work with adults with autism
spectrum disorder and ADHD, providing diagnostic clarification and ongoing treatment within
general psychiatric care. I offer in-person and telehealth visits and focus on collaborative,
evidence-based, and individualized care.
I could list all my accomplishments from the past 30 years, but that wouldn't give you a true sense of my style or beliefs. I strive to empathize, be respectful, and remain non judgemental. We all face worries, stresses, and challenges daily, and we all need someone who listens and understands. While family and friends can provide wonderful support, talking to someone with professional expertise and an outside perspective can be incredibly beneficial.
