Dr. Char Scott, EdD, MSW, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping people develop more emotionally stabile, resilent and and happy lives. My work is grounded in compassion, clinical depth, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change. I specialize in working with adults navigating addictions, depression, burnout, and complex life transitions, bringing extensive experience across the full continuum of care. My approach is psychodynamically informed, integrating Cognitive Behavioral and Motivational Interviewing therapies, allowing for insight-oriented and practical, skills-based work.
Feedback Informed Care
The single most important factor in successful therapy outcomes is the rapport between therapist and client. Although I often establish this rapport fairly quickly, I also encourage feedback and offer alternative therapists if you feel our work isn't productive. Helping the Helpers
Increasingly, my work has evolved toward supporting other helping professionals. I have developed a specialization as a “therapist’s therapist,” providing a space for clinicians, healthcare workers, and those in high-demand roles to process the emotional impact of their work, prevent burnout, and sustain meaningful careers.
