BEHAVIORAL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELOR

Scott Thompson ALC

Scott Thompson believes therapy can help people better understand what’s beneath their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, not simply manage what appears on the surface.

Working with teens and adults, Scott helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, divorce, and the challenges of single parenthood. His approach centers on building greater self-awareness and self-compassion while helping clients recognize their needs and discover healthier ways to meet them.

Scott creates a thoughtful, supportive environment where clients can gain new perspectives, work through difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful personal growth.

Rather than focusing solely on changing those behaviors, Scott works collaboratively with clients to understand what is driving them, build self-compassion, and identify healthier ways to move forward.
