Therapists in Temecula, CA

Greetings and congratulations on taking the first step towards change. My name is Dr. Betina Scott and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and/or your loved one. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

Our efforts together are going to be a collaborative, non-judgmental, and tailored towards understanding your individual experiences that have impacted your life and feelings towards yourself. Throughout the therapeutic process we are going to improve on identifying inherent problematic behavior and patterns, and through this understanding and insight make the desired healthy changes. The goals of therapy are going to discover your authentic self, fully realize your strengths, and live a more fulfilling, happier, and rewarding life.

Everyone has different issues they may be facing, whether it is PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, disappointment, and/or guilt and shame. Nonetheless, there are a variety of techniques that can assist you in achieving your goal(s). My goal is to help individuals, families, and veterans, replace maladaptive coping mechanisms and provide them with new tools and techniques which will leave one feeling empowered and vested in maintaining a healthier mindset.

I want to help create goals for those who are experiencing anxiety, stress, and trauma. I want to work together to build a goal oriented plan that gets them to the finish line with whatever it is that is bringing them to therapy. I feel that everyone has a story to be told, and everyone deserves their happy ending. Together, we can get there by building trust and focusing on strong points while providing the tools needed to accomplish goals.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is true to who you really are. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions or unresolved emotional experiences that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you are teen, individual, couple, or family seeking support and guidance to overcome life's challenges or ready to take a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS AT THIS TIME. I specialize in working individuals, couples, and families connected to first responders, law enforcement and federal agencies, as well as military/veteran communities. I work best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their treatment and are receptive to interventions that require work both in and outside of the therapy room. I see myself more as a skilled "coach" who will assist you in developing the skills necessary to be your own therapist. You will find that I bring myself into the room and that I use creativity and humor to tackle your treatment goals.

I will help you to enjoy more satisfying relationships, resolve painful conflicts, and improve self-esteem, self-worth and emotional well-being.
