Emily Potash, LSW
Emily Potash is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW). Emily earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Emily has been working with children, teens and their families who are coping with depression, anger, anxiety and trauma. Emily leads her sessions with the idea that therapy is a collaborative process in which clients can engage in their own choices which she believes can increase the client’s confidence in decisions regarding their mental health. Emily believes it is important to acknowledge that no two clients are the same and that each client deserves to have services tailored to their needs. She is experienced in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Psychodynamic techniques and mindfulness in order to help clients thoroughly process, evaluate, and manage what they are experiencing.
Emily aims to make therapy a warm and welcoming place for clients. Emily believes she has found the most rapport and trust with her clients when she has fostered an environment of both laughter and raw vulnerability. She strives to come from a non-judgemental lens. When working together, Emily encourages her clients to provide feedback, so that she is able to meet them where they are at and they can feel validated and heard.
Emily resides in South Jersey with her family and pets. In her free time, Emily loves reading, traveling, going out into nature, art projects and being social with family and friends.
Emily provides therapy to children, teens, and adults.
