Gervonna Scott LPC

 

Throughout my career as a psychotherapist, I’ve come to realize one fundamental truth: we all have the power to create lives worth living.

We just need some help navigating our way toward a fulfilling journey and it is my honor to help you along your path. In our time together, my goal is to help you gain more clarity to begin paving a path that feels best for you. We can talk about where you’ve been, where you want to go, but most importantly, how to live well now.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with clients from all different backgrounds, including those in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I also have experience and training working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, sexual issues, autism and BPD.

While life’s challenges certainly have a way of making us feel like we’re alone, I want to remind you that you have support, and I’m here to help.
