Emily Scott
she/her · LCSW, MFA, Staff Therapist
Emily views therapy as a collaborative effort, where the client and therapist work together in a safe, supportive and honest environment to find what hurts, ask the right questions, and facilitate self-discovery and understanding. She works with individuals, couples, and people in various relationship types facing anxiety, depression, substance use, gender identity and LGBTQ+ concerns, complex trauma, loss/grief, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem problems.
Emily practices with a trauma-informed, multicultural, feminist, intersectional, and person-centered perspective. She utilizes Psychodynamic Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction modalities.
Emily completed her advanced clinical internship at IHI and has worked with several LGBTQ+ organizations and crisis intervention organizations. She completed a Masters in Social Work with a focus on Mental Health and Clinical Social Work and has a previous Masters in Fine Art. She believes art, writing, music, and dance can be forms of healing therapy.
