Renate Scott

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with adolescents and adults.. I have over 10 years’ experience working in variety of settings including residential, corrections, outpatient, and community-based. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, anger manager and other mental health aliments. I implement a Cognitive-Behavioral and Person-Centered approach when providing mental health services. I will identify interventions that are specific to the client needs and develop effective and realistic coping strategies. What I have found that excites me in this field is the ability to investigate, dissect and understand the problems of other individuals. Learning that in the mental health field, it is important to keep in mind that I will not always experience instant gratification; change takes time, especially when dealing with behavioral and emotional problems. While working in this field, I have developed emotional strength, the ability to connect with adults, teenagers, adolescents and their families, a sense of personal and professional boundaries and the strength of character to maintain composure in the face of the overwhelming struggles faced daily by the individuals and families with whom seek therapy.
