DECOLONIZING THERAPY
Every therapist’s must-have book for transforming your practice by Dr. Jennifer Mullan, Psy D
I am Sarah Potter, currently a dedicated therapist in training. I am pursuing my second master’s degree alongside a certification in clinical mental health counseling. My approach to therapy is intersectional and integrative, crafted to connect the mind with an individual’s history, ancestry, and the broader natural world.
This holistic view is underpinned by my steadfast belief in the science of the mind and the inherent healing capabilities of our environment. I advocate for psychoeducation as a vital instrument for whole-person healing, highlighting the indispensability of our interconnectedness to personal and collective well-being.
My therapeutic philosophy is steadfastly rooted in the principles of intersectionality, recognizing the complex, intertwined nature of identities and experiences. Incorporating feminist and anti-white supremacy frameworks, I am committed to decolonizing mental health practices to ensure that each individual’s unique story is respected and valued. My practice is informed by the latest scholarly research while also deeply honoring personal narratives that mold our understanding of mental health (Crenshaw, 1991).
I aim to provide nuanced, intersectional mental health education and guidance, focused on fostering a life deeply connected to the earth, our communities, and our inner selves. I am devoted to championing the liberation of all oppressed peoples, advocating a shift from self-centered paradigms to community-centered connections and celebrating our collective identity away from the isolative pressures of capitalism and generic thinking.
Outside my professional life, I engage in various self-care practices that sustain me and enhance my capacity to serve others. As a parent to three children, two of whom are autistic, an artist, a reader, a music lover, and an enthusiast of sci-fi and fantasy, my diverse interests enrich my professional endeavors. My personal and professional lives are both driven by my political and social ambitions, guided by a commitment to dismantle the oppressive chains of capitalist society, aiming for a collective definition of success that honors our shared humanity and resilience.
