Carrie Potts

I am married with three children. I worked as a social worker in Iowa for eight years and transitioned into being a mental health counselor for the past eight years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Iowa and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, chronic pain, emotional regulation difficulties, and other mental health concerns.

I use evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Chronic Pain EMDR, Play Therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I have a special interest in helping individuals who have experienced trauma, overwhelming life events, anxiety, and the emotional impact of chronic pain. I also enjoy working with children and families by helping strengthen relationships, improve communication, and support healthy emotional development.

Clients often describe my style as compassionate, calm, and genuine. I strive to create a space where you can be yourself, process difficult experiences, and feel supported without judgment.
