Spencer Potesta

Psychotherapist, Company Builder, Author | Founder of Potesta Holdings Corporation & Social Capital Foundation

My background is in clinical and organizational psychology, dedicating time to psychotherapy for patients with severe anxiety and trauma disorders, while building and partnering with organizations in organizational psychology. The tools I use in therapy mirror those that help executives and organizations excel.

In psychotherapy, I run a private practice as a double-board certified psychotherapist in Illinois, offering specialized, evidence-based care for severe anxiety (like OCD) and trauma disorders (including dissociation). I dedicate a select few days per week to this transformative, client-centered work.

As CEO of Midsommer.org, I address clinical pain points—like limited access, high costs, and fragmentation—leading a pioneering mental health organization. We build a clinician-led holistic care model, revolutionizing psychotherapy with self-managing teams, comprehensive services, and ethical, insurance-based practices for affordability across states and specialties. We empower ethical clinicians to own teams as directors and co-owners (typically 10-12 grouped by region/specialty), creating sustainable foundations, better business outcomes, higher clinician satisfaction through collaboration, and dedicated client care. Achieved via aligned incentives and lock-step partnerships—not franchising—this forms a constellation of high-powered, human-centered teams. This bridges my passions of organizational psychology & psychotherapy, empowering resilience and impact for clinicians and clients.

In organizational psychology, I operate Social Capital Holdings, consulting Fortune 500/1000 firms on efficiency and performance. Now, I focus on engaged partnerships in businesses like Midsommer and others, strengthening systems, leadership, and operations.

While devoting time to psychotherapy a few days weekly and advancing ventures, my deepest passion is Social Capital Foundation. As President of this 501(c)(3) healthcare endowment, I tackle generational health needs, leveraging my success to innovate solutions benefiting practitioners and clients. We streamline operations to keep 100% of donations intact, supporting healthcare individuals and organizations.

Proud of you Carly and very excited for the journey!

I’m excited to share a meaningful milestone in my work. ✨

After two and a half years of running my solo private practice, I’m expanding into a group practice (name still in processing) dedicated to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for OCD & anxiety across the Capital Region and greater Upstate New York.

I’m profoundly grateful for the opportunity to support this community — to offer resources, education, and specialized treatment in an area that has long been under-resourced for OCD and anxiety care. 🌿 

This next chapter is about deepening that mission: expanding access, building a strong clinical community, and bringing even more hope and expertise to those who need it most.

And with that, we’re hiring! 
 If you’re passionate about evidence-based treatment, collaborative clinical culture, and helping individuals reclaim their lives from OCD and anxiety, I’d love to connect. 

All key details are in the graphic, please reach out with any questions or interest!

I’ve had days where it felt like nothing was moving.
No big wins. 
No breakthroughs.

But here’s the truth founders hate admitting:
The days that look quiet are often the ones that compound the most.

What kept me moving wasn’t some dramatic reinvention.
It was the small, almost boring actions done consistently.

So today, don’t go hunting for the perfect plan.
Pick one small move and execute it.

Momentum isn’t magic, but it’s built.
