“Scott is warm and friendly. Therapy is helping me with my emotional state of deep depression and high anxiety. He is well-versed in CBT, DBT, and with my mental health diagnoses. He is a great listener, processes the information, helps identify the thought process, and suggests how to change those negative self-talk. I would recommend Scott for help.”

Getting to know Dr. Scott Huckaby

Do you feel stuck? Ever feel like your past is a ghost haunting your present? Struggling with relationships, battling self-hatred, or constant self-criticism? You want peace, self-acceptance, and healthier connections but trauma keeps pulling you back? When you go through something really tough, your mind can get stuck on negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the world. Therapy can help you identify and challenge these thoughts, so they don't control your life. Imagine breaking free, understanding yourself better, and finally moving forward with confidence. That’s what you truly deserve. I am a Stanford-trained and educated clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. With a compassionate approach, I help people identify and challenge these thoughts, so they don't control your life. By working through these patterns, you can start to feel less overwhelmed and more in control, making it easier to move forward and heal. I understand how tough it can be. With all the confusing advice floating around, it's easy to feel like hope is slipping away. But it's not. Reach out to me today, and let's dive into a world of science-backed tools together. We'll craft a plan that's not just doable, but approachable, and most importantly, leads to tangible improvements in your life.

In-network insurances

Dr. Scott Huckaby has 200+ in-network plans.

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.
