Getting to know Kelly Scott
*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ so you can complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.*
As an ANCC board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Master's in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from New York University, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I also hold bachelor's degrees from Seton Hall University and Saint Elizabeth University. I bring a wealth of experience treating a wide range of conditions, including eating disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, gender dysphoria, and addiction. With advanced training in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, I tailor each treatment plan to meet your unique needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to mental wellness. My clinical background includes working with diverse populations, including adolescents, seniors, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those navigating complex life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for chronic mental health challenges or help navigating a difficult period in your life, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth can happen.
What should a new client know about working with you?
From the moment we begin working together, my priority is to ensure you feel seen, heard, and supported. My therapy style is collaborative and patient-centered, meaning your input is essential in shaping the course of your care. Sessions with me focus on exploring your challenges, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and building practical coping strategies you can use in daily life. I often integrate supportive psychotherapy with medication management when appropriate, always striving for a balance that works best for you. For individuals navigating issues like gender dysphoria or seeking guidance for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender-affirming surgery, I approach these conversations with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and commitment to your goals. No matter your circumstances, we'll work together to chart a path forward that reflects your values and aspirations.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our sessions, expect a relaxed, judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what's on your mind. We'll start by identifying your concerns, exploring how they impact your daily life, and setting meaningful goals for treatment. If medication management is part of your care, I'll explain options clearly and answer all your questions to ensure you feel informed and confident in every decision. Together, we'll regularly evaluate your progress and adjust your plan as needed. You can expect practical tools for managing stress, improving relationships, and building resilience in every session. Ultimately, the work we do is about improving your quality of life, fostering a sense of hope, and helping you move toward the future you want.
I bring years of diverse clinical experience from settings like Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Summit Oaks Hospital. My approach is rooted in empathy, expertise, and a deep respect for the individuals I serve. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or a loved one, know that reaching out is a brave step—and one I am here to support every step of the way.
