“Dr. Scott helped me so much with my diagnosis and made me feel listened to. The only problem was that I waited a while online but apparently I didn’t fill out a necessary form so that’s on me. Everything else was smooth and easy!”

Getting to know Leroy Scott
Specialist in Mental Health and Wellness as a whole.
I obtained my Psychiatric training from Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
My primary areas of expertise are in ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and in working with the LGBTQ+ community. My other areas of expertise include substance use, trauma and addiction, among many other mental health concerns. With greater than 10 years of experience in psychiatric experience, I understand the complexities and importance of mental health wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is medication minimalism with wellness and lifestyle optimization. I practice symptom-targeted medication utilization in comparison to only diagnosis-driven prescribing.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
