Marvia Scott, LCSW — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Marvia!

I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties.

My focus

I have experience working with a diverse population that suffers from Alcohol Use, Alzheimer's, Anger Management, Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Career Counseling, Chronic Illness, Codependency, Coping Skills, Depression, and many more.

My approach

I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

My communication style

In my sessions, the client leads and I provide guidance along the way. I tailor each session to fit the needs of the individual.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I believe in the power of connection and healing. Supporting others through their challenges and witnessing their growth has been deeply meaningful work.

My goals for you

On goal setting, we will typically use the M.A.P.S. (measurable, achievable, positive, and specific) technique to establish realistic goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. You'll share your story at your own pace, and together we'll begin identifying goals for our work.
