Getting to know Jennifer Scott

Isn't it time you felt good again? Let me help you navigate the difficult turns life takes us on. You dont have to struggle alone. I invite you to experience an environment that is safe, non judgemental, empathetic and supportive. I use evidence based strategies such as CBT, IFS, and DBT to help you process emotions and tackle the issues most important to you. Therapy is a 2-way conversation. In session I am actively listening, asking questions and will provide you with suggestions, feedback and alternate perspectives. I will teach you coping skills and introduce you to several different tools that can assist you outside the therapy room and in the real world. Why not give yourself the gift of therapy and unlock your highest self. Help is just around the corner. Reach out today and let's begin your healing journey together, one step at a time.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a person first than a clinician. I am very easy to talk to. I use a human approach to build rapport rather than using the robotic therapist catch phrase "how does that make you feel?" I create a warm and inviting environment to ease any concerns, worries or fears you have.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In order for therapy to work, clients must be willing to open up and talk about difficult things. You will be talking the majority of the time while Im identifying patterns and connecting the dots of your story. I will point out my observations such as body language, phrases or words you repeat, or certain reactions.you use. We work towards achieving a goal whether it's reducing distressing symptoms, learning how to emotionally regulate, specific problem solving techniques or effectivly communicating with a partner. Sessions are used to facilitate some type of change you want to see. What are some things in your life you wish were different?
