PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES

Empowering Clients with Treatment

The initial evaluation or consultation includes a comprehensive assessment of the patient's background and presenting problems.


It is important that the therapist understands each client's psychiatric, medical cultural, socio-economic and family history. This information is crucial to see beyond the client's presenting issue to the whole self. Scott then introduces an integrated therapy approach to help individuals achieve greater well being.


Clients are educated about various evidence based treatment techniques. In tandem with the therapist, individuals can then explore an effective, flexible therapy to resolve their concerns.

 "Scott is the consummate professional. He successfully combines his

extensive knowledge of psychopathology and addiction to achieve

highly effective therapeutic approaches."

and Former Chief Executive Officer at Holliswood Hospital


Scott integrates a treatment approach that is client-friendly and effective. Each patient is encouraged to assume a proactive role in the development of his or her own personalized treatment plan.


Scott's therapeutic approach strives to remain innovative, insight-oriented, and non-judgmental. Clients are treated with compassion and respect. In this manner, they are encouraged to discuss their feelings, concerns, goals and readiness for change.


The client can then develop a trusting relationship with their therapist so that transformation and healing can begin.


"Scott is extremely skilled at treating individuals with mental illness

or substance use disorders, and he is very skilled in assessing and treating

persons with co-occurring disorders.


Further, he has expertise in such key areas as training, crisis intervention,

and solution-focused therapies, as well as group work.

I am pleased to recommend him."
