Vernon Scott

Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated 9 days ago

I specialize in working with: Black men looking to heal and grow; survivors of sexual violence or childhood sexual trauma; and LGBTQ+ individuals. I take on a person-centered approach to therapy. I primarily utilize Narrative Therapy during my sessions with individuals and couples. For couples who tend to have high conflict, I prefer to utilize Collaborative Couples Therapy to assist them in improving their communication with each other, while also working through their conflicts.

Currently, I am a pre-licensed therapy working towards full licensure and under the supervision of Sharita Everett.

I am able to see insurance clients via contracted sites.
