More about Scott

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCPC

I have extensive experience leading inpatient group therapy at West Hills Behavioral Hospital in Reno, working with a diverse group from children to adults. My expertise spans various disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and addiction. I am certified with Prepare/Enrich for premarital and marriage counseling and can incorporate a Christian perspective if desired.

I utilize talk therapy, CBT, DBT, and other techniques to support my clients in addressing their challenges. My aim is to provide understanding, empathy, and effective coping strategies.

Starting therapy can be daunting due to the fear of judgment, but I assure you that my office is a judgment-free zone. I strive to make you feel comfortable, offering coffee, soda, or water to help you feel at home.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
