Dr. Daniel Potoczniak, PhD, ABPP
About Me
I consider it a privilege to help others heal from the traumatic experiences of their past. While I work with individuals from many different backgrounds and varying traumatic experiences, I have a particular focus on men (gay, straight, bi, or queer) and on the LGBTQ+ community more generally. I also specialize in work with those who have experienced religious and/or spiritual trauma. My work is grounded in respect for each person's own beliefs, identities, and values, creating a space where past wounds can be processed without judgment, whatever their source.
