Josalin Scott is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Her main area of specialty is helping individuals who are coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD diagnosis, self-harming, pet loss, family building concerns, and LGBTQ+ matters. Over the years, Josalin has gained experience by working with individuals who are coping with emotional abuse, deportation of family members, death of loved ones, and other painful experiences. She also works with individuals who seek treatment for anger management and stress management.

Josalin implements effective psychotherapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, client-centered, and humanistic approaches, which can be effective in assisting clients to instill self-understanding by encouraging them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, and pain can bring life-altering results. There is no judgment, only compassion and a safe environment to heal.

"Have a particular life obstacle you’re trying to overcome? Are you working to cope with everyday stressors? Couple or family conflicts? Coping with the loss of a loved pet? Need a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist? Seeking help from a licensed therapist is the best way to put things into perspective," says Josalin. "As a licensed psychotherapist, I am committed to the well-being of all humans big and small. I am dedicated to going above and beyond to assist with helping people empower themselves and find the answers they seek. I look forward to the prospect of supporting you in conquering the problems you are presently dealing with!"
