Meet one of our newest graduate teaching assistants, Makayla Potts, LPMT, MT-BC! Makayla Potts is from Stockbridge, GA and received her undergraduate music therapy training at UGA. She has experience working in private practice, serving children with disabilities and adults in oncology.
Makayla is interested in researching ways to incorporate various creative art therapies and psychotherapies like Internal Family Systems and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy for clients to gain greater self-awareness and improve overall well-being.
“I’m excited to be back in Athens, learning more about my passions, and developing my clinical and mentoring skills alongside other music therapy students! I will be leading music therapy groups at ESP this year. I look forward to working with our wonderful practicum students starting next semester!”
