Are you stressed out and anxious? Are you struggling with sleep problems because you're worrying too much? Do you suffer from past or recent trauma and have tried other methods of therapy but need deeper work? If you answered yes to any of these, my approach is to collaboratively explore your thoughts, beliefs and life experiences to help you gain self-knowledge and empower you to live a more satisfying life. Our work together will inspire you to cope with difficulties at work or at home in a more productive way. Extremely limited openings. If I cannot see you, I have 16 wonderful therapists on staff, 8 of whom are EMDR trained.

I support individuals navigating the emotional aftermath of trauma, difficult relationships, burnout, and identity loss. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in old patterns. They often carry deep wounds from past relationships—whether with caregivers, partners, or systems—and are seeking clarity, healing, and a sense of self.
Through a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, I help clients reconnect with their inner voice, establish healthy boundaries, regulate their emotions, and reclaim their personal power.

My goal is for you, the client, to feel comfortable and safe in counseling so that I can truly get to know what you are facing so that we can work together to understand and improve your conditions. I use a client-centered approach and employ motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and bibliotherapy modalities. I love to use expressive arts and sand tray therapy in session and often use play therapy with children. I'm an avid reader and always love to suggest related books if you are open to it!

Would you like to feel less stuck? I understand. I've been there and my own journey with therapy inspired me to pursue this calling.

Together, we’ll work on developing skills to help you overcome depression, cope with stress, emotions, or specific challenges, and heal unresolved trauma.

Sometimes we can feel like we are settling for an unfulfilling life, yearning for freedom from the emotional pain that plagues us. We may feel that we are drowning in conflict, depression, and loneliness, as well as feeling scared and overwhelmed. Our wants and needs sound so simple, yet no matter what we do and what we try to change, it turns out to seem like it is just not that simple after all. We crave connection and intimacy, but sometimes our anxiety, sadness, fear, anger and relationships seem like obstacles to our goals, and the changes we want to make in our lives. Talking helps. There is hope, you are not alone.

Feeling burned out, invisible, or like you're constantly putting out fires, stuck on a merry-go-round you can’t step off? Maybe you're questioning your identity, unpacking gender or cultural expectations, or feeling the weight of systems that were never built for you. If you're exhausted from masking, code-switching, or constantly being "on," you're not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m Christopher "Topher" Scott (he/him), a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (supervised by Lesley Lanier Smith, LPC-S), a certified yoga instructor (RYT-200), Reiki Master, and a functional nutrition trainee.

My ideal client doesn’t have a defined age and I believe gender is merely a construct. I welcome individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community as well as allies. The complex issues that come with these identities are always fun to discuss and process. My favorite things to help people with are the deep thoughts, anxieties, and changes associated with BIG life transitions, balancing work and life, and managing ADHD. I love discussing things that range from the mundane and temporary to deep spiritual and philosophical questions.

Hi there and welcome! The relationship is the foundation of counseling and I work to provide a relaxed environment and safe space for you to be vulnerable so that you may share your true self.

Life sometimes takes us in directions that are unknown, unwanted, unexpected and out of our control. When it does, many times they can appear overwhelming and difficult to face these issues and emotions by ourselves. Sometimes we feel that is the only option in order to succeed and not experience or display shame, blame or guilt. What we tend to forget ( and is not always encouraged) is reaching out to others to assist and lean on. We can explore and attempt to overcome these issues together. My role would be to ride alongside with you, supportively, with an open mind, to help you achieve the life that best fits you.

On our journey through life we all face challenges. We may be dealing with grief issues, relationship issues, or need help with communicating more effectively. We may feel overwhelmed, anxious, trapped, confused, alone, fearful, depressed, frustrated, stuck, burdened, and unhappy. I have always been fascinated by how people change, learn, and grow. I believe that given the right context, such as a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment, people can make the changes they need to make to live a happier, more productive and positive life. Given the right tools, everyone has the capacity to engineer their life in a healthier way.

I am licensed to practice in Texas (LPC & LMFT), Oklahoma (LPC) and Wisconsin (LPC). I have served with my husband for the past 20 years in various pastoral roles and am heavily involved with the San Antonio community. I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families (including clergy couples and families) to facilitate healing and provide a safe place for processing through trauma, relational challenges & infidelity, life changes, self-image, behavioral issues, spirituality, anxiety, depression, grief and loss. Because each client has specific needs, treatment is customized for each individual client.

Your family and even many therapists don't understand what you have experienced, and you don't feel safe disclosing unusual experiences. Perhaps you had spiritual experiences or dreams you cannot make sense of. You don't know what to believe anymore. Anxiety, relationship issues, numbness, and negative self-image can be signs of trauma. The life transitions you are going through feel harder than you think they should. You feel like you are carrying a heavy load that no one else can see and are disillusioned. But you've had enough of this. You want hope and meaning in your life. I get you. Let me help you move from pain to purpose!

Because so many clients see me for relationship issues, learning to set appropriate boundaries, communicating assertively, and nurturing healthy, equitable relationships are often a focus of our work. Many clients come to me in emotional pain resulting from traumas ranging from parents divorcing to marital infidelity, from illness to physical assault. We collaborate in treatment planning and assessing outcomes, and we make use of therapeutic tools and coping skills to fit their issues, strengths and preferences. I firmly believe in the capacity of my clients to grow, heal, change and take charge of their lives and relationships.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families deal with the difficulties and challenges life sometimes presents us with. These may include situations related to transitions in life, unexpected events, feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress, difficulties in communication, and conflict in relationships, among other issues. I view life as a journey -specifically, a learning journey- with all its ups and downs.

Everyone experiences normal ups and downs throughout their lives. Sometimes, however, these episodes become more than we can handle alone. It is often not easy to ask for help but it can be the first step toward healthier functioning, improved relationships, and personal growth. Over the past 20 years I have helped many people navigate through life's challenges to lead more productive and fulfilling lives. Together, in a safe and supportive environment, we can uncover destructive patterns, identify strengths, and develop healthier ways of coping.
