My name is Chrishina J. Scott. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia, with over 15 years of experience in the field of clinical mental health.
My approach
My scope of practice focuses on helping adults who are finding challenges with overcoming specific life changes/adjustments (i.e., break-up/divorce, empty nester, work-related stress, retirement, grief (≤ 1 year), young adults transitioning into independent decision-making, etc.). As a result, the individual may be experiencing stress-related or situational anxiety and/or possibly a bit of a low mood (without the need for crisis intervention, or the inclusion of suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviors).
My focus
My goal is to help you connect with your true self so that you can establish a life that aligns with your values. Using the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, counseling with me typically consists of 6-9 sessions; which means my clients must be ready to take accountability, implement action and ready to do the work necessary to reach your goal; and as your counselor, I will be right by your side along the way! ** Please Note: I do not specialize in trauma, addiction, suicidal thoughts/attempts, self-harming behaviors or crisis services.
My communication style
My counseling style can be described as coach-like, supportive, solution-focused, engaging and easy-going. When necessary, I provide practical-application assignments to assist you with applying plan into action. With patience and empathy, I believe in meeting you where you are. Together we can build a trusting relationship, allowing you to say whatever it is you need to say without the fear of judgment. We may even find some humor along the way. After all, laughter can be an important component to therapy as well.
My goals for you
I pride myself in successfully helping clients establish thought processes based on their inner values. With an appropriate level of readiness, clients begin to apply value-based thinking in order to implement value-based decision-making; rewarding themselves with an unapologetic approach to getting their most inner needs met! At this time, I only offer telehealth sessions via a secure video platform or phone. This allows you to receive the support you need no matter your location within the state of Georgia.
