I’m Scott.

And I’m lucky and honored to help people through their most difficult life struggles to reestablish meaning, purpose, connection and health again. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA) in the state of North Carolina and earned my M.A. in clinical mental health counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2024.

My therapeutic style is warm, open, holistic, and structured. I focus on helping clients to notice and respond to their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways that serve their lives—rather than to habitually react. Therapy with me involves learning new ways of seeing oneself, developing and practicing new tools and behaviors, and cultivating self-compassion in times of pain and suffering.

Therapy Options

In Office

If getting away from demands and distractions of home is important for you, I have a private office in the Haw Creek neighborhood of Asheville.

Telehealth

If it’s just not practical, convenient, or affordable to drive to therapy regularly or on a particular day, telehealth is an excellent option.

“Walk & Talk”

If you think and feel best as you move through the world, or if the idea of being inside is particularly unappealing, I offer sessions on foot in Asheville.

Covering the Cost of Therapy

I accept both health insurance and self-pay. If you are paying for therapy out of your own pocket, then a typical therapy sessions is $120 for 53 minutes, while the initial, intake session is $150. If you are unable to afford these rates, I get it. Life is crazy expensive. I am willing to work with you whenever possible. I offer a limited number of sliding scale openings that usually range from $50 to $100 per session.
