**I AM AVAILABLE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY 7PM TO 9PM CENTRAL TIME ZONE VIA TEXTING ONLY, SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT MY DISCRETION AND NEED**
I am Scott Helm, I have an LCSW license in Tennessee and Texas and Kentucky; all three licenses are current, active, and unrestricted and unencumbered at this time. Should you need any further information I invite you to contact me for an appointment. I am a combat veteran, so to my fellow veterans, thank you for serving! I treat veterans and active duty soldiers alike and their dependents to ensure comprehensive care at all levels.
I have experience in the following settings as private practice, community-based clinics, inpatient / outpatient hospital clinics, and immigration / corrections environments as well.
I am originally from Kentucky, and joined the military in 1990 and became a combat veteran of Operation Desert Shield / Storm as well as Operation Intrinsic Actions, and received an honorable discharge from the military in 1993. I received my Master's of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2007, and have worked in clinical settings in the state of New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, and Kentucky to provide services for clientele with various needs to be tended. I am a native of Kentucky, and have been to 46 states and visited five other countries both with the military and on leisure travel activities.
I accept all clientele, however, my specialties are those who are veterans or active duty who have served in combat zones, in addition to those those dealing with sexuality issues to include, but not limited to, acceptance of one's sexuality and transgender issues. I am also open to marriage / domestic partner counseling. I only work with adults at this time, but can make exceptions with adolescents 16 and older on a case by case basis. In other words, all are welcome to consult with me for mental health services at this time.
I engage in various evidence-based treatment modalities, to include but not limited to: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), reality-based therapies, solutions-focused, narrative-based, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities at this time. Modalities are always subject to change and can be used interchangeably during treatment sessions. As a reminder, I am a mandated reporter for any child / adult abuse, neglect, exploitation, or trafficking activities and a mandated reporter for any person that has active plans for suicide and / or homicide.
Once again, I invite you to contact me to determine the type of services needed for where you are in your life, and I look forward to speaking with you.
**I AM AVAILABLE FOR CHATTING MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 7PM TO 9PM CENTRAL TIME ZONE**
