You’re reading this and you’re on the fence about if you should make the call or not. You’re unsure if counseling will even help you. Do you even need counseling? All things that ran through my head before I contacted Scott. I cannot tell you how eternally grateful I am that I got in touch with him.I reached out to Scott after making some bad decisions that really put some strain on my marriage. I contacted Scott for a few 1 on 1 sessions to lay out where I was at, what I was struggling with, and my desire to eventually come in with my wife for some couples counseling. I was never a big believer in counseling before this, as I had been to a few in my life for more minor issues without feeling any benefit. Prior counselors seemed to have an approach on rails, with the mentality that there was only one given approach to any issue. Scott thinks outside this box, which is massively helpful.Scott was compassionate and listened, making me feel heard while being very objective and being sure we established my desires and what I wanted before pursuing a path to get there. I brought my wife into the fold and the transition seemed rather seamless. My wife would say she felt the same as I did about counseling before meeting with Scott and after the first session she said she felt we were in good hands.Scott does a great job at listening and interjecting only when needed. In terms of couples counseling, he makes a strong effort to make couples communicate with eachother, and not just speak their piece to him as a sort of mediator, which I think is immensely helpful. He’s so down to earth, it makes it seem as if you’re talking to a friend rather than a trained professional. I think my marriage is far better off for our time with Scott and we plan on continuing going to him for the foreseeable future even though we are on a great path, as he’s able to pick out and see potential problem areas to be addressed when we can’t see them.I promise you, if you’re on the fence and unsure if you should reach out, you should. Scott is the man for the job and I guarantee you’ll agree with me.

I used to see him awhile back but over time I felt like I was being judged and talking to a wall. I felt I wasted money seeing him and our sessions never went to the full time.

Without being too personal, I have had some issues I didnt know how to properly deal with that carried into adulthood and quickly and drastically lowered my quality of life. After just one visit I felt like I could maybe actually work through it all. It was the first time in all the years Ive tried therapy on and off that I felt like I can do this. Ive been going to him for over a year and not one complaint. Hes a great therapist! He doesnt just teach you skills from a book. He really tailors your treatment to your issues AND your personality. He also doesnt just treat the issue that you came in for. I went in for me and hes helped me improve as a person overall, at work, my marriage, in motherhood etc. Its crazy what one year with the right therapist can do. Business-wise, he truly tries his best to be available any time you need him. Hes even talked to me via email and a phone call during an especially rough time. He truly is someone who does it because he loves it and not just for the money. HIGHLY recommend him (and have many times).

I have searched for a counselor like this for a long time!!!Dr. Scott is not only accessible but completely invested in his patients. I have seen him many times, often on short notice. He always makes time for me. He is helpful, incredibly smart and guided me in finding healthy solutions that have worked long-term. I highly recommend him!

If I could give him less than one star, I would !! After four appointments he sat us down to go over the plan at the end of this session he literally was arguing with me about if a couple (happy couple) has to have each others back in order to be happy in the relationship. He said that would something just between them. Personally, I think there are no couples out there that are happy knowing that their partner will throw them under the bus at any given moment, but I had no peer reviewed journal articles to make my point, so I guess he won the debate. His plan also includes making NOTHING in the relationship one persons fault. Im sorry, if you hit me- its your damn fault, not mine. This guy took a struggling relationship and pretty much killed it. If you want to work on your relationship and have had anything but a perfectly normal supportive textbook life (which very few of us have) dont go to this guy. I terminated our treatment immediately. Waste of hundreds of dollars and further destruction of our marriage. Scott did little research to discover WHY each of us needed specific things in the relationship. Instead he had us fill out his questionnaire (no comments, just boxes) and he made all of his conclusions based on some formula that he uses. It certainly will not work for most people. Save your money!!! and perhaps your marriage and dont go to Scott for help.

I had a terrible experience. I think he should be more professional trustworthy. Also he should know what he can and cannot handle.He lacks integrity.

We Only had 1 meeting with him but it was very clear and very quick where he stood. He has a direct and only that direct guidness. Was interupted several times with him having more to say than to listen or understand for an initial meeting.My wife and I did not get (paragraph below) this from him...not even close..>The best counselors in the field aren’t necessarily those who are most well known but rather those who are always reaching toward greatness and flat out working harder than everyone else. These counselors are constantly questioning what they do and why, being brutally honest with themselves about their work and its outcomes. “They are always soliciting feedback from their clients and colleagues, begging for the most frank assessments about what is working and what is not. Most of all, they are often so humble that they don’t seek attention or the limelight but just quietly go about their extraordinary commitment to helping others.”

Scott gave my husband and I the tools needed to better communicate to one another. His tactics were very activity based which allowed us to work through our issues in a very respectful manner with the guidance needed to support both mine and my husbands needs.
