Dr. Scott is clinically trained in Imago Relationship Therapy and integrates recent developments in relationship therapies. He is specialized in Integrated Care, which is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary team approach that promotes individual wellness at a holistic psychological and physical level. Interventions are designed to enhance positive health outcomes through assessment, reducing risk factors through behavioral and attitudinal change, and enhance protective factors through prevention, maintenance behaviors, emotional adjustment, and management of stress and chronic challenges. Dr. Scott is an adjunct professor in psychology with Maricopa Community Colleges in the Behavioral Sciences Division and has taught introductory and advanced courses. He has previously served as a faculty associate with Arizona State University's College of Health Solutions. For the curious, Dr. Scott’s psychological approaches include cognitive-behavioral / REBT, mindfulness, stress physiology, family-relationship systems, and an emotion-existential focus across the lifespan. His deep past educational and occupational experiences involved the natural and social sciences. Dr. Scott earned his associate's degree from Fullerton College and worked in field and lab settings in oceanographic technology, natural history, ecology, and anthropology. He earned his bachelor’s degree from California State University at Fullerton, majoring in anthropology and minoring in psychology. Still speaking in the third-person, even though I'm writing this, Dr. Scott’s early foundation in science will continue to inform and guide his approach to behavioral health and contributes to his literacy in real integrated care--he remains a passionate scientist-practitioner of evidence-based counseling and psychotherapy. Given his experiences with the natural world, Dr. Scott remains physically active with outdoor-nature pursuits and views the Earth’s wild, natural places as a primary spiritual support while living within our modern pace.
