As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, I have worked with people of all ages and a wide variety of life experiences. While I engage clinical tools from many different therapeutic modalities, my approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My focus is on utilizing strengths and clarifying personal values to promote growth that matters to you.
I am Dr. Lilian Namayi, DNP, a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from South University and my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Western Kentucky University.
Hi, I’m Scotty! It is my goal to join with you and guide both of us in growth through the power of the therapeutic relationship. Although I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic, I lean heavily toward Relational-Cultural Theory. I believe that people grow in relationships that exhibit mutual empathy and empowerment. I have particular interest in the effects of trauma on an individual’s mental and physical health and methods in which those effects can be mitigated.
Solution-Focused Therapy is an integral part of my practice as well. SFT is a solution-focused, future-oriented form of therapy that focuses on your strengths as a way to reach your goals. In this paradigm, you, the client, are viewed as the expert on your life.
I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years. My clients have come from all age groups, educational levels, and socioeconomic statuses. I have worked with clients in community mental health, prison, long-term care, and hospice. I hold a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Marshall University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of New England.
In my free time, I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. When I’m not reading, I spend hours enjoying nature in the Appalachian Mountains along with my Great Pyrenees, Ghost.
I strongly believe in "meeting my clients where they are." I empower my clients to know their strengths and believe in their ability to reach their goals. I have never been one to do what everyone else is doing, so I try to help individuals be themselves and reach their own goals.
Hi! I'm glad you're here. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable. I believe every person has strengths and I help you build on yours.
Licensed in Kentucky with over six years of professional counseling experience, I specialize in assisting clients in overcoming life challenges stemming from various issues, including anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and abuse. My diverse clientele spans the age range of 10 to 65 and encompasses individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Beyond my counseling expertise, I have honed my problem-solving, stress management, and coping skills through my military background. Throughout my career, I have encountered a wide range of circumstances and challenges that necessitated the effective application of these skills. Recognizing that life often presents us with challenges and traumatic experiences that can leave us feeling isolated and misunderstood, my approach is to collaborate with you in identifying these obstacles and guiding you towards healing, growth, and a more fulfilling future. I firmly believe that you possess the expertise and inherent strengths to overcome the barriers that hinder genuine healing and personal growth. Embarking on a journey towards a more fulfilling and happy life requires courage, and I am committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment throughout your transformative process.
Hello. I am a LPCCS, TCADC, NCC, QMHP, and QIDP. I love and enjoy working with people. I am person centered and believe in Hope. I have worked in mental health for over thirteen years. I am EMDR and SIPS certified. I have been trained in CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by the CBT Beck Institute. If you want to start making changes in your life, I am the therapist for you. I will work with you and meet you where you are.
A few things about me outside of therapy: I have three children, so I understand that life can be beautifully chaotic. I’m a real person, not a therapist robot. I’ll bring authenticity into our work together.
I work with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Most importantly, you don’t have to impress me. You don’t have to have the perfect answers or know exactly what you want to say. Therapy can be a place to better understand what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop healthier ways to move forward. Come as you are, and we’ll navigate the hard stuff together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bowling Green
Searching for therapists in Bowling Green starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Bowling Green therapists, look for someone whose training, listed specialties, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can show whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Bowling Green, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Kentucky. You may prefer an in-person office near Westside, East Main, or another part of town, or you may want virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or family schedules. Before booking, review details like availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their communication style and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Bowling Green can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists in Bowling Green, KY who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
