About Your Counselor
I'm Sarah Scott, a Licensed Professional Counselor (License Number 83253) based in Houston, Texas. I have over 7 years of experience working with individuals on the Spectrum and their families, including complicated cases who may have struggled to engage with previous therapists.
Mental health is defined as the ability to love, and the ability to work; to be able to have stable and emotionally fulfilling relationships with others, to take care of your daily needs, and to be able to enjoy using your time creatively and productively. As a counselor, I aim to join with my clients and help them identify their troubles, explore their origins, and create unique solutions to help them live the life they hope for. While my work is very relational and focuses more on meeting the unique needs of individuals, I use specific techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also tend to conceptualize cases from a psychodynamic point of view, although that is not always salient "in the room".
I have experience working with school-aged children, adolescents, and adults, and particularly enjoy working with clients and their families experiencing transitions in life stages. Whether that's adjusting to school changes, charting a path to adulthood, or developing the skills to cope with an emerging mental health challenge, such as depression or anxiety, I am happy to help with individual therapy or family consultations.
I earned a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas and have previously worked with The Conative Group and Krist Samaritan Center. I look forward to partnering with you or your loved one.
