Getting to know Amy Scott

I believe the therapeutic relationship can offer a space for healing and personal transformation. My work is motivated by the belief that exploring and attending to past wounds allows us to meet our present experience with acceptance and move forward from a place of wholeness and authenticity. I approach our work as an evolving creative collaboration, prioritizing safety and trust. In my practice, I support individuals grappling with grief and loss, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and challenges related to identity. I offer affirming psychotherapy for adults in the kink/BDSM and polyamorous/non-monogamous communities. My approach is holistic, person-centered, and collaborative. I’m anti-oppressive and intersectional, acknowledging the dynamic and layered ways our social identities affect how we experience the world. I honor how you show up while inviting you to consider new perspectives and connect with a fuller range of emotions that may provide insight into unmet needs. I have a warm, non-judgmental style, approaching each session with curiosity and compassion. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University, which informs my clinical practice and commitment to evidence-based care. I would be happy to schedule a free consultation to answer your questions and share more about my practice. I am currently in network with several insurances and also work with out-of-network benefits. My office will gladly help you maximize your insurance benefits.
