Dr. Scott is committed to facilitating the healing, recovery and integration of motivated, proactive clients who are interested in approaching their behavioral health from an eclectic and multi-disciplinary approach. He uses many traditional and non-traditional techniques that are described below. His commitment is to start where the client is and assist them in the process of self-discovery, mastery and holistic wellness. Sessions are from 45 minutes to 5 hours and treatment plans are specifically customized to each individual and family. Typical treatment duration lasts from a few sessions to several years.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset, scared, angry, or feeling out of control. Therapy can be used as a vehicle to help you recover from difficult issues. Attending therapy can evoke feelings of uncertainty, a fear of sharing personal information, and a book stack of positive and negative thoughts. In fact, it is normal to have these concerns. The best therapy outcomes that I have found to enjoy are ones with individuals who are open, honest, willing to try activities, and just allowing themselves to make the journey toward peace of mind.

As I know finding the right therapist is important to you, I like to offer new clients the opportunity to come see me for a first session cost-free. This way you will get a sense of me and how I work to see if you feel like we are a "right fit." Likewise, I can get an idea of what is going on with you that you are looking for help with improving and/or changing, and can give you an honest assessment of how I would envision working with you and/or recommendations for alternative treatment if necessary.

Sometimes, do things happen and you react to them without knowing why you react the way you do? Have you been in counseling or been put on medication with little to no movement forward? If nothing seems to work, do you feel as though it is your fault? Is everyone telling you to "just snap out of it" and you don't understand why you can't just "snap out of it'? Are you clueless about how to take control of your behavior after you have tried so hard so many times? This is often why people come to hypnotherapy.

Meaningful change happens through validation and acceptance. Effective therapy requires that you be vulnerable, which takes courage. My goal is to provide you with a non-judgmental environment where you can open up. I've worked with thousands of clients and have a niche for engaging individuals in therapy. My training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based practice that teaches clients how to embrace and manage their emotions. An emphasis is placed in accepting where you are now, while moving towards change. This reduces judgment and improves self-worth.

I received my degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from Regis University. I enjoy working with a diverse population of adults, children and teens dealing with life issues ranging from depression to post-traumatic stress, victims of abuse, homeless transitioning to parenting frustrations and behavior management. Growth occurs one step at a time and that knowledge of process and circumstances leads to more effective decision-making. I have a passion for assisting victims of abuse (sexual, physical, neglect) in healing and "growing through" to a successful and healthy life.

"Our minds and hearts suffer injuries felt and not seen." Feelings are important messengers and can feel overwhelming and confusing.

Are you wanting to be empowered to discover, explore, and pursue you life purpose, remove limiting beliefs, and experience harmony in you life? Stress, chronic pain, chronic medical conditions, and life events can lead to feeling unbalanced, depressed, or anxious. I focus on supporting people by giving the tools to create - for themselves - balance in their lives. I support individuals as they progress further, guiding them to remove the barriers that stand in the way of their growth.

Are you feeling down, unmotivated, or needing some extra support? Maybe you’re tossing and turning at night and not sure why. Maybe your focus on goals or activities that bring you joy is off and you're struggling to understand who you are and where you belong. These days people talk often about the importance of mental health, but that doesn’t make it easy to ask for help. I would like to help by walking with you on your journey to help you attain your goals using proven strategies to turn the tide.
