Getting to know Richard Scott
Hi there, I'm Richard!
My name is Dr. Scott, and I have been practicing for over 20 years as a clinical health, CAM, and immigration specialist psychologist. My highest degree earned is my Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology), accompanied by a D.C.H. (Doctor of Clinical Hypnosis) and a doctorate-level medical school education (M.D.). I have also studied many other fields. I start with CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) in treatment and integrate many other empirically based treatment modalities as psychotherapy progresses.
My approach
I utilize empirically based treatments like CBT, and I engage in psychoeducational discussions related to what can work for the patient to facilitate change. I am trained and certified in many specialties including, but not limited to, the Biological Basis of Behavior, Personal Training, Nutrition, EFT, TFT, Clinical Hypnosis, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Biofeedback, Naturopathy (CAM), Aromatherapy, basic Herbology, Psychospiritual approaches, EMDR, Advanced EMDR, Specialized EMDR, Trauma, Reflexology, CPT, Nutrition, and Reiki.
My focus
I work with patients and clients aged 18 to 100+, treating most conditions across the spectrum. I have many specialties.
My communication style
I work 95% of the time out of my physical professional clinical office, which is quite a distance from where I live. My environment is peaceful, therapeutic, and relaxing. I help create a space of comfort and ease to build trust and unconditional acceptance, which supports therapeutic change.
My journey to mental healthcare
This is a fascinating field, and it motivated me to pursue it. One of my roles is in psychotherapy and in-depth psychotherapy, which often goes below the level of awareness or consciousness to help enact deep change. It is an honor to serve those in need as a facilitator of this process.
My goals for you
You can expect in-depth positive change once the treatment deepens.
