Life is a journey that can often become difficult to maneuver. However, facing life's struggles can empower us to be the people we are intended to be. This process is often mentally and physically exhausting. I would be honored to walk alongside you, your child, and/or your family on your personal journey of self-discovery. I love children and specialize in non-directive play therapy with children 3-7 years of age. Additionally, I work with adolescents and teens navigating the often difficult times of transition through middle/high school. Finally, I have a heart to work with women in life transitions.

I am trained in Non-Directive Play therapy with small children and pursuing certification in play therapy. Additionally,, I am TAC (Training in Adoption Competency) certified and EMDR trained working of towards EMDR certification.

Research reveals the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship. I will offer emotional safety, transparency, and loyalty to this relationship. Together we will address your concerns, create goals, and actively work towards meeting these goals. My desire is for you and/or your child to be equipped to transition into a better version of themselves.

Hello, I’m Scott, Founder of Recovering Hope Counseling. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. As someone who has been a client as well as a clinician, I can appreciate and respect the courage it takes to seek help for our, emotional, relational, spiritual struggles in life. As a therapist, it is a privilege to walk alongside people for part of their life journey, helping to discover their own God-given uniqueness, and recover their ability to effectively manage their own lives in the midst of an increasingly uncertain world.

I graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte with a Master’s Degree in Christian Counseling. Prior to starting Recovering Hope Counseling in 2017, I have been working as a therapist since 2012, helping couples, individuals, and groups with relationship, addiction, and mental health problems, including anxiety and depression, grief and loss, dual diagnosis (co-occurring mental health and addictive disorders), personality disorders, and other problems in living. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities in my counseling, including Cognitive-Behavioral, Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavioral, Emotionally-Focused, Experiential, Internal Family Systems, and Solution-Focused therapies, while emphasizing a spiritual perspective that treats the entire person.

As a former Christian missionary in Spain, I feel comfortable working with people from a variety of ministry contexts, as well as people with no spiritual training or background. I take a respectful, holistic approach to my work, which values each person as a unique individual created by God with a purpose for their life. I have been happily married to the wonderful and amazing Ana for thirty one years and am the proud adoptive father of a three-year old Australian Shepherd named Finnegan.

Please feel free to visit www.recoveringhopecounseling.com with any questions you may have, or to schedule a visit or phone consultation. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon, and to have the privilege of working with you in the future.
