I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing confidential and supportive therapeutic services to individuals fifteen years and older who are experiencing various issues. I also see people who choose to attend therapy during times of change in their life and individuals who feel that they just need a place to talk. Areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, legal issues, personality disorders, and substance abuse issues. Additionally, I complete diagnostic assessment and psychological testing, as well as evaluations for individuals involved in Social Security applications and other legal proceedings.

Dr. Potashkin received her BA, with honors, from Clark University, a nationally-renowned psychology department. The psychology faculty elected her into Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honor. She completed her masters and Ph.D. (1981) at Yeshiva University. She is also a certified School Psychologist in New York State. She published an article in 1993 entitled “The relative efficacy of Ritalin and biofeedback in the treatment of hyperactivity”.

I provide support through the difficult contours of major life changes, anxiety, and grief, trauma and PTSD. With an MA from Naropa in the Contemplative Program, somatic training and EMDR, I utilize body and mind resourcing, mindfulness, and depth psychology practices.
