Getting to know Essence Scott
Hi! I'm Dr. Essence. I work with adults who feel constantly “on” — navigating high-stress jobs, heavy responsibilities, and little space to breathe. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and the pressure of holding it together while quietly feeling overwhelmed.
My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded. Together, we slow things down, identify what’s driving your stress, and build tools you can actually use in daily life. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel more regulated, more balanced, and more like yourself again.
If you’re looking for a therapist who offers a calm, thoughtful space and focuses on steady, real-life progress, I’d be glad to support you.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
