Let Your Knowledge Bloom on Substack

bloom differently

Hi, I’m Sarah.

Neurodivergent-affirming counselor for kids, teens & families in Gilbert, AZ

Warm, play-based, blame-free counseling for when things feel like a lot. I believe behavior is communication, and that people do best when they feel safe and truly understood.

Sarah Potter laughing in her office well, hello there!

Kids aren’t broken.

Parents aren’t failing.

Most of the time, everyone is just running out of capacity.

Who I work with

Tap a card to flip it over.

Behavior is communication.

So we get curious about what it’s saying, instead of just trying to make it stop.

how i work

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I follow the nervous system, not a script.

Lived experience, in the room.

I’m an AuDHD parent of neurodivergent kids and a counselor in training. I came to this work through lived experience, and I bring all of it into the room.

The blooming has only just begun.

There’s no single right way to do this.

But there are ways that feel more supportive, more connected, and more possible. Let’s find what works for you.
