Getting to know Dr. Scott Menasco

You might look like you have it together—but inside there’s anxiety, overthinking, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. I’m Dr. Scott Menasco, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy. I work with adults who want more than coping strategies—they want to understand what’s actually driving their reactions so real change can happen. Our work focuses on helping you regulate overwhelming emotions, trust your own experience, and communicate more clearly in relationships. Over time, clients develop stronger boundaries, greater self-confidence, and relationships that feel more stable and authentic. If you’re looking for therapy that goes deeper than surface-level advice, I’d be glad to help.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Most of my clients are looking for deeper, long-term change—not just short-term coping strategies.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

With new patients I start by making an assessment, developing goals for the therapy process. Once we do that, then in each session the client will bring whatever issue is most salient that they want support with. Typically I see my clients weekly.
