The practice offers both individual therapy and couples therapy. Individual sessions address depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, trauma, and other presenting concerns, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and narrative therapy as primary modalities. Couples therapy at the practice incorporates the Gottman Method with influences from Emotionally Focused Therapy, with a stated focus on mutual respect, emotional connection, and shared goals between partners.
Scott describes his therapeutic approach as collaborative rather than directive, emphasizing that sessions are not structured around prescribing how clients should live but instead around working together toward meaningful change. Sessions are typically one hour in length on a weekly basis, though duration and frequency are adjusted based on individual client needs.
