I have been helping people achieve their therapeutic goals for over 18 years. Each person is unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy just won't do. That's why I use an integrative, therapeutic approach which is tailored to the individual and includes: Problem Solving; Structural Techniques; Inter-relational Techniques; Cognitive Techniques; Family-Of-Origin Issues and Individual Developmental Issues. I have experience working with a variety of issues and I especially enjoy helping people manage their relationships. You will find me to be friendly and non-judgmental, but firm in my commitment to help you strive towards your goals. Let's work together to get you on a better path so you can live your life more abundantly.

10+ years of well-rounded experience has given me an advantage in helping people work through a variety of issues that are important to them. Experience includes work with all ages, homelessness, families and substance use issues (including medication assisted therapy). My goal is to see individuals not only survive, but to thrive. Skilled at using Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques and Solution-Focused questions that can improve mental health functioning. Persons who respond well to encouragement, and who are willing to try new coping measures and communication skills, will be surprised at how much clearer they will see their circumstances and choices. Acceptance, normalization when appropriate, occasional challenging questions, and use of relaxation exercises as strategies of therapy will help improve one's quality of life. I like to see those I serve leave with greater emotional intelligence, laughing often, forgiving frequently and being able to see a more positive future. If I have helped anyone to have hope - I have achieved a step towards their healing. I frequently provide homework assignments and processing when talk therapy or listening doesn't lead to the results desired. Give me a call when you feel ready to make life changes in the area that you feel is appropriate and we will work together at your level of comfort to make the positive changes you desire. For those wishing to address PTSD consider visiting me in the office for Accelerated Resolution Therapy. BetterHelp does not provide a format for in person treatment - this would be private pay or insurance funding.

Hi, I’m Scotty! It is my goal to join with you and guide both of us in growth through the power of the therapeutic relationship. Although I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic, I lean heavily toward Relational-Cultural Theory. I believe that people grow in relationships that exhibit mutual empathy and empowerment. I have particular interest in the effects of trauma on an individual’s mental and physical health and methods in which those effects can be mitigated. Solution-Focused Therapy is an integral part of my practice as well. SFT is a solution-focused, future-oriented form of therapy that focuses on your strengths as a way to reach your goals. In this paradigm, you, the client, are viewed as the expert on your life. I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years. My clients have come from all age groups, educational levels, and socioeconomic statuses. I have worked with clients in community mental health, prison, long-term care, and hospice. I hold a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Marshall University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of New England. In my free time, I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. When I’m not reading, I spend hours enjoying nature in the Appalachian Mountains along with my Great Pyrenees, Ghost. Together, we will form a therapeutic relationship that will strengthen and empower the both of us in growth. Please contact me if you feel that I may be able to meet your needs.

Hello, I'm a licensed counselor in Kentucky with nine years of counseling experience. I completed my undergraduate degree with the University of the Cumberlands in 2017, having majored in psychology with a clinical concentration. I obtained my graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of the Cumberlands in 2020. I generally work from a person-centered approach, incorporating both cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. Since working with clients during the COVID pandemic, I have been able to adapt my counseling approach to telehealth services, as well. Nearly all of my counseling career, eight years, has been spent with adults coping with trauma related issues, specifically domestic violence, sexual abuse and assault, human trafficking, and stalking. as well as substance use. However, I have found that trauma and substance use are something that anyone can experience, thus I have worked with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, panic, bipolar disorder, anger, obsessive compulsive disorder, and more.
