Dr. Scott earned a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary where she completed her dissertation on the Superwoman Schema, Purpose Based Identity and Performance Based Identity among Black women in Christian Leadership. Throughout her career, Dr. Scott has worked in a variety of settings including private practice, college counseling, community mental health, and church based mental health. Dr. Scott believes in the transformative power of therapy to assist people in feeling seen, heard, and supported along the process of accomplishing their goals as well as to celebrate the wins and process the inevitable losses that life brings. Dr. Scott loves destigmatizing mental health challenges and serving historically underserved populations who stigmatize therapy due to cultural, religious, or familial reasons. Dr. Scott is especially passionate about women of color, their mental health,  and their holistic wellbeing. She specializes in helping her clients manage symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, and life transitions, and overwhelm so they can have a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment.

Dr. Scott approaches therapy from an integrative perspective which means she looks at mental health from an individual, familial, cultural, societal, and spiritual perspective. She practices from a primarily client centered perspective and draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and womanist psychology to meet clients where they are and also encourage them to be creative in striving for more.
