Getting to know Dr. Essence Scott

I provide virtual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and self-esteem struggles. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, drained, or stuck in patterns of overgiving and overthinking. My style is supportive, direct, and culturally responsive. As a Black therapist, I create space for your lived experience, identity, and the real-world stressors that impact your wellbeing. Together, we'll build coping tools, strengthen boundaries, and create healthier relationships.

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.
