Introduction

Hello! I see you're on a wellness journey. I'd like to support you along the way. I am Dr. Edward Scott, a clinical social worker who specializes in assisting youth and young adults who are experiencing mental health conditions and the general challenges of life's many transitions. I am particularly skilled at working with adolescents who are experiencing mood disorders and Black folk and queer folk who are experiencing stress and trauma due to minoritization and oppression. My approach to care is strengths-based, culturally-affirming, research-informed, and client-centered. And I believe we all deserve to live in a world where we're thriving! Know that this is your journey, your story! I simply want to encourage you to take the pen in your hand and write your wellness into the plot. Let me know how I can help!
