Getting to know Scott Herman

Hi, I'm Scott, and I'm your therapist. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and the geriatric population. I particularly work with those navigating stressful life changes, irrational thoughts, anxiety, and depression, such as relationship or school issues, difficulties with others, crippling social or generalized anxiety, and depression. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and solution-focused methods, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Aurora University. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapy style consists of having an open, welcoming space. I like for the client to take charge if/when comfortable. Your treatment plan will be followed and it can change at any time when needed/desired. I focus on CBT, family/marital, humanistic, interpersonal, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I enjoy using CBT to identify your irrational thoughts that are distorting your views of the world around you and with your challenging relationships. I enjoy doing solution-focused therapy as well to break down those challenging life barriers.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

For the first session, I will be getting to know my client to see what brings them in for therapy, do the initial assessment, and formulate a treatment plan.
