Nathalie Potts

Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

Hi, my name is Nathalie Potts, and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (IMH26549) under the supervision of Rebecca Maxwell. I will work with adults, teens, and couples.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and spent 15 years working ineducation, supporting preschool, elementary, and high school students, including those in ESE and gifted programs. My final years in education were spent as a preschool director. While I
loved working in the school setting, my passion for helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges eventually led me to pursue a career in counseling.

I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I take a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy, providing a safe and compassionate space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they work toward personal growth and
healing.

In my counseling work, I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients navigate issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. I also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as appropriate to support clients in processing past experiences and reducing distress.

My faith in Christ is the foundation of my life and practice. I believe true healing and identity are found in Him, and I am happy to integrate a biblical worldview into sessions upon request. It is a joy and honor to walk alongside clients in their healing journey—offering support,
encouragement, and tools to help them move forward with purpose and hope.​
