Darlene M. Scott, PhD., LPC, NCC® is a doctoral-level licensed psychotherapist, researcher, educator, and Executive Clinical Director with more than two decades of experience in clinical practice, behavioral health leadership, and psychology instruction. Dr. Scott specializes in treating trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, and stress-related conditions using holistic and evidence-based approaches.

As a licensed therapist, a nationally certified counselor and a researcher, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each session. My research on how trauma affects people over time shapes my approach, ensuring that you receive treatments that are proven to work. I treat various mood disorders, trauma-related disorders and phobias.

Certified in Hypnotherapy for Phobias: I am certified to treat phobias using hypnotherapy, offering specialized care for those seeking relief from debilitating fears.

Evidence-Based Practices: I am trained in multiple evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. These approaches empower you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive and collaborative setting.

Approach to Therapy: In our sessions, you can expect a calm, nonjudgmental environment with low lights and comfortable chairs. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities as we embark on your healing journey together. You can expect empathetic listening, support and validation of your feelings.

Invest in Your Well-Being: While I no longer accept most insurances, I offer sessions at $199.00 per session and I accept IBX.
