Psychotherapy Practice – Youthrive Child & Adolescent Therapy Center

Youthrive Child & Adolescent Therapy Center is a boutique behavioral health practice in Atlanta, Georgia, located at 2250 North Druid Hills Road NE, Suite 142, Atlanta, GA 30329. The practice focuses exclusively on children, adolescents, and college students, offering developmentally appropriate psychotherapy across that age range.

The practice is led by Dr. Nikia Scott, who holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology from American University in Washington, D.C. Her graduate training includes an MA in Psychology from New York University and a postbaccalaureate in Psychology from Columbia University, as well as a BS in Biology and Chemistry from Howard University. Dr. Scott completed her predoctoral internship at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine at the Mailman Center for Child Development and a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine through Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Dr. Scott holds national certifications in both Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). She is a member of the American Psychological Association and serves on the editorial board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. She previously served as a Senior Policy Fellow with Voices for Georgia’s Children.

Clinical services are grounded in cognitive-behavioral strategies combined with systems-based thinking and a feminist-informed approach emphasizing empowerment and boundary-setting. TF-CBT is a structured evidence-based protocol delivered in 8 to 25 sessions for youth ages 4 to 18 who have experienced trauma. Behavioral sleep medicine is also offered as a specialty area. Focus areas include childhood trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, disruptive behaviors, parenting and behavior management, and social-emotional functioning.

Sessions are conducted in person at the Atlanta office, which operates by appointment. Contact options include phone at (770) 800-6498 and email at contact@youthrivecenter.com. Insurance participation and self-pay rates are not listed on the site; prospective clients are directed to contact the practice for scheduling and financial details. The practice tagline is “Learn. Grow. Thrive.” Dr. Scott’s editorial board membership with Behavioral Sleep Medicine reflects ongoing engagement with research in that specialty area.
