Scott Loorz, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Scott!

I provide a safe place to discuss even the most uncomfortable topics. I specialize in attachment, family relationships, grief, and trauma, offering compassionate support as you navigate difficult experiences.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship conflicts. I'm also comfortable addressing parenting concerns, life transitions, and men's issues.

My approach

I use a humanistic, client-centered, strength-based approach. I want to know not only your symptoms but also your strengths and potential. My work is trauma-informed and attachment-based, and I frequently use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you become more mindful and overcome obstacles.

My communication style

My communication is calm and approachable. I bring humor, sensitivity, and warmth to every session. It's important to me that you feel safe and comfortable enough to share your experience.

My goals for you

One of the first questions I'll ask is what you hope to get out of therapy. Once we establish therapeutic goals, I'll want to know about your life goals, what you want to achieve, and how you see yourself in the future.

Our first session

In the first session, I'm going to ask questions. I must learn about you and what you're experiencing so that I can create a plan to treat your condition. I'll ask about your symptoms, history, family relationships, and more. After the first session, I'll ask fewer questions and listen more.
