Family Therapy in Richmond, IN

I have worked as a School Counselor and in private practice. I have worked with children and adults suffering from ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem Issues, and Substance Abuse concerns.

I specialize in grief therapy. It is so painful to lose someone in our lives, but I have found ways to help ease the pain and to help you learn how to always carry them with you. We have to feel to heal!

Life often hands us challenges we don't feel capable of managing. Our thoughts, feelings, and expectations can be so overwhelming that they become obstacles to making decisions and living our lives to the fullest. Therapy is a safe environment to understand our thoughts and feelings, face pain and fear, and align our lives to our values. The freedom that comes from understanding and facing our challenges is well worth the effort. In treatment, I help cultivate an environment of trust and compassion to face and overcome life's challenges through an integration of CBT, ACT, ERP, relational, and dynamic therapies.

I completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University. I work within an attachment framework to help her clients gain awareness of the patterns they display in their relationships and guide them towards healthier strategies and connections. Within the area of attachment science, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy where couples, families, and individuals learn new ways of interacting. I assist couples to reconnect and overcome areas of conflict, including infidelity, hurtful communication and/or past relational wounds.

I utilize my 17 years of counseling experience working with diverse populations from school age to adult to help clients understand themselves better and make meaningful changes. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, ADHD/ASD, and life, school and career related transitions. Previously, I counseled college students in the university setting. I enjoy working with young adults as that is an immense time of transition, new beginnings and many times added stressors. This is a season of life where students can learn a lot about themselves and build healthy habits and positive coping skills for a lifetime.

I believe people can change, because I see it daily with my clients. I believe it because I lost over 130 pounds. My specialties include couples counseling, grief and loss, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I know therapy can feel intimidating. Before becoming a therapist, I was a client and worked with a therapist on ways to improve my quality of life. This experience taught me what clients need. I know that the client/therapist relationship is the most important aspect of treatment. The better the relationship, the more healing that occurs.

Let me help you overcome the challenges of daily living. My name is Scott, and my past experience has taught me that helping one resolve childhood trauma, often a root cause for many mental health issues, is as rewarding an experience for a therapist as it is for a patient.

I can work through many different modalities to help you in areas of depression, anxiety, and other disorders. I have worked in counseling for nearly 30 years helping others at stages of life.

Are you frustrated by self-critical thoughts that hold you back? Do you struggle with perfectionism or worry?
