Scott specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, while also expanding her experience with adult clients. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem, with a growing passion for supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community as they explore identity, confidence, and emotional well-being. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and play therapy, she tailors each session to meet the unique needs of her clients.

Scott’s passion for supporting young people has been a consistent thread throughout her life. Before becoming a therapist, she worked with children as an assistant and summer camp counselor and originally began college as an education major. Realizing she wanted to support students beyond the classroom, she transitioned to psychology to pursue counseling. In addition to her clinical work, she contributes to a vocational program in Washington, D.C., where she helps train staff in de-escalation techniques and coping strategies for students experiencing school refusal, emotional instability, and behavioral challenges. Through her work in therapy and community programs alike, Scott continues to advocate for mental health awareness and equip individuals with the tools they need to thrive.
