Scott Lassiter

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.

Therapist

We often seek therapy when we're ready for change and part of our life has become unbalanced. A feeling of discontent, depression, or anxiety may have lasted a lifetime, or may have been initiated by a transitional change, such as loss of a relationship or career, or a yearning to grow beyond where we have been stuck. I welcome all parts of you, and will meet you where you are at in the journey towards wholeness.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or searching for greater meaning and direction. I work with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and move toward a life that feels more purposeful and aligned. People often find their way to me while navigating anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, or deeper questions about identity and purpose.

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I'm committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely respected, understood, and at home.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Oakland

Searching for ADHD therapists in Oakland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy can help with concerns related to focus, organization, time management, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Some people look for therapeutic support, such as cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based work, or executive function support. Others may also want medication management from a psychiatrist. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can call for different experience, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, age groups, and approach before booking.

In Oakland, your search may include therapists near downtown, Rockridge, Temescal, Lake Merritt, or nearby East Bay neighborhoods. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find an ADHD specialist for adults or a therapist with experience supporting ADHD alongside anxiety or depression. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s bio can show how they describe their style, session structure, and experience with ADHD concerns.

Therapy in Oakland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
