Seth Scher, LCSW

Seth Scher, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
My name is Seth Scher, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in Northern California. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University. Over the past 35 years, I have dedicated my career to behavioral health, with 15 years as a licensed therapist. I have worked for several non-profit community mental health programs, providing psychotherapy and case management services to individuals struggling with trauma, substance abuse, and mental illness. No matter who my clients are, my work is grounded in building trusting relationships. My goal is to offer a safe space where clients can talk, reflect, and discover their inner strength. I help them recognize their capacity to change behaviors and old patterns of thinking that may hold them back by learning new ways to manage depression, anger, anxiety, and many other emotional challenges. Throughout my career, I have focused on relationships, substance abuse, mental illness, and trauma. In the past 10 years, I have also specialized in geriatrics, addressing the family challenges that arise when caring for elders with dementia. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, aiming to empower individuals and families to navigate their difficulties with resilience and hope.
