Scott James, LPC, LCDC

Hello, my name is Scott and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependence Counselor. I have 4 years of experience as a counselor in inpatient, outpatient, and virtual settings, offering individual, group, and family counseling to teens and adults.

My style is collaborative and skill-based, focusing on equipping my patients with practical tools, while never losing sight of the person. Patients can expect the intake to be a collaborative conversation focused on understanding, not just gathering information. We will discuss your current challenges, goals, and history to create a shared understanding of how therapy can be beneficial for you.

Patients say that they feel truly heard and respected in sessions, which allows them to more fully engage in the work of therapy. As well, patients often describe their experience as challenging but transformative. They report gaining a “toolkit,” for life’s challenges, a deeper understanding of themselves and their internal experience, feeling less controlled by their difficult thoughts and emotions, and they are more capable of navigating relationships and setbacks with resilience and self-compassion.

Personal Interests

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with, and training my three dogs, tabletop board games, cooking, and going to the movie theater with my wife.  Connecting on a personal level is essential to the therapeutic relationship, and I look forward to getting to know you better!
