I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life, characterized by deeper connections with themselves and others, and greater emotional well-being. This individual may find themselves navigating various challenges in their relationships, whether it be with romantic partners, family members, friends, or colleagues. They understand that therapy is a collaborative process and are actively engaged in their own healing journey, ready to embrace both the joys and the challenges that come with self-exploration and growth.

During the human experience, we will have struggles along the way. There are times we don't understand our own actions. We decide to take one approach to solve our problems and find ourselves doing something opposite of what we intended on doing. It is in those moments that we ask ourselves "How did I get here?" As a social worker, I partner with clients to unlock their solutions. Through Individual, group, family or opposite sex couples counseling, we will move towards the life you desire and discover the many different ways to get there.

Life experiences can often bring us pain, cause us to question our world, and create obstacles that feel overwhelming and overpowering. Having someone to talk to who you can feel safe to share your story with, someone who will join you and help you understand your experiences and their meaning, can make a valuable difference. I help my clients process their past experiences, challenge defeating thought patterns, uncover their natural strengths, find self-acceptance and healing, make choices they can take pride in, and discover connection in a world that can feel isolating.

Hello, I am Vershonda Scott, LPC, CADC II. I work with adults and couples. I believe that each person can find and create their own path. Life is a journey, and how one chooses to respond to life is what one gets back.

I have extensive experience working with adults dealing with past trauma, transition/adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, substance abuse, and other life challenges.

It can be difficult to be human at times. Life can be full of so many losses and challenges, and with busy and demanding schedules, it may not feel like there's any time to process what you’ve gone through. Maybe you’ve found yourself masking and suppressing your real feelings, and as a result, you don’t feel as connected and fulfilled with yourself and your world. In our work together, you're free to explore your emotions and seek deeper insight into who you are. I prefer to think of my role as that of a lantern, bringing to light aspects that you may not have realized and that may be limiting you from leading the life you desire.

Sometimes we come to a place where we realize the life we are living is not aligned with our personal values, purpose, or desires. There may be patterns that have served a purpose in the past, helping us manage fear when we have felt unsafe and haven't had the resources to effectively cope. While these strategies may have helped you survive, they may now be holding your body and mind hostage to the past. Together we can explore these patterns with the goal to help you develop personal insight, learn new coping strategies, and heal into a fulfilled life.
