Anne Scouten

My communication style

I prioritize building a strong, trust-based relationship with my clients. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, designed to foster safety and connection. I ensure you feel heard through active listening, and I value open and honest dialogue. I maintain a non-judgmental stance, allowing you to express yourself freely.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help others in need. After volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for youth in foster care, I pursued social work. I've provided therapeutic services in domestic violence shelters, worked as a DBT therapist with foster youth, and held management roles. I'm grateful to walk alongside my clients towards healing.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, client-centered, and tailored to your unique needs and strengths. I conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your current challenges, strengths, and areas for growth. I guide you towards creating SMART goals while ensuring flexibility, strength-based focus, and ongoing support.

Our first session

You can expect a welcoming and supportive environment designed to help you feel comfortable. After introductions and informed consent, we'll build rapport and establish connection. I'll gather information about your background, current challenges, and goals. If something needs immediate attention, we can shift focus to provide relief.
