Hello! My name is Scott Murray, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice as a psychotherapist.

I have 20+ years experience working in outpatient clinics, in-patient psychiatric treatment facilities, academic institutions, and forensic facilities where I provided assessment and therapy to individuals, groups, couples, and families.

Life can present many challenges that sometimes can be overwhelming. As a Christian counselor, my goal is to work with all clients to help them develop the skills needed to live a fulfilling life. I work to apply my life experience and counseling knowledge to each individual’s situation with compassion and empathy. I have experience helping individuals, couples, and families through many challenges such as: anger management, conflict resolution, communication, trauma, addiction, infidelity, parenting, and much more. For those who might be hesitant to begin counseling, I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating complex life challenges, including the effects of incarceration and significant transitions like starting a family, entering college, or going through a divorce. I specialize in supporting parents and families of children with complex behavioral issues, helping them create nurturing environments. I provide compassionate care to the loved ones of those struggling with addiction or incarceration, offering guidance and support through their journeys. My approach is evidence-based, focused on understanding and supporting clients and their families every step of the way.

You deserve to live a life that you love. There are many people who see therapy as something intrusive, not necessary or believing that they will be judged. As a therapist, I believe that the connection built between the patient and therapist is the foundation that can lead you to the life that you want to live. My only goal as a therapist is to help you achieve your goals and to see you become happier with the life you are currently living. Yes, sometimes therapy can bring up painful emotions, memories or events, but this pain can lead to growth and a better life.

I sincerely believe that each of us is born into this world deserving of happiness, safety, and love. For some of us, the road to emotional wellness can be impacted by forces and experiences beyond our control. At times, we can lose sight of the beauty life has to offer us due to potential trauma, family history, or hardships we’ve experienced. My goal is to help you uncover, rediscover, and reclaim the joy and purpose in your life through compassionate, welcoming, and conversational counseling services.

We currently have a waitlist. Do you want to conquer your biggest challenges, achieve your wellness goals, and develop effective strategies to improve the way you manage your emotions and your relationships? Improving your mental health means that you will have a happier and more fulfilling life. It means that you will have better overall health and a more positive outlook on life. Our professional counselors can help you improve your life in a number of ways including developing new skills, processing your emotions in a safe and nonjudgmental setting with a trained professional, as well as setting and achieving your personal goals.

I have been working with children and adults in a variety of environments both within a school and a community based center. I have a background in education and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I empower individuals to improve their life circumstances using clinically tested and evidenced-based interventions.
