I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over four years of experience providing trauma-informed mental health care. Since beginning my therapy career in 2022, I have supported individuals facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment-related challenges.
I specialize in EMDR and mindfulness training, offering clients a dynamic blend of advanced therapeutic modalities and empathic presence. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing requires both symptom relief and the opportunity to reframe core beliefs shaped by trauma. I believe in getting to the root of the present day issues.
My clinical work focuses on helping clients reclaim personal agency, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with meaning and self-worth. I hold space for deep emotional work and guide clients toward lasting transformation.
I am committed not just to alleviating distress but to empowering people to rewrite their stories.
I believe therapy should be real, not stiff. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and human. My style is relaxed, warm, direct, and funny when it helps. I work with people navigating grief, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, chronic health diagnosis, complex family dynamics, marital challenges and complicated expectations placed on women. We will sort though what's heavy, challenge the narratives that aren't' serving you and help realize a life that feels more like your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and working towards growth.
Your therapy is not about me, but in today's climate most people want to know the values of their therapist. I bring a commitment to social justice and equality into my work. This perspective helps me create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood within the full context of their lives.
Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and supportive. My style is soft, caring, and down-to-earth, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will gently challenge you to consider new perspectives while making sure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work at a pace that is meaningful and progressive for you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing as a therapist for 7 years. I love working with kids, teens, and young adults especially, and have a lot of experience working with anxiety, ADHD, depression, boundaries, self esteem, kids of divorce, and communication.
As a dual-licensed mental health professional in Kentucky, I bring over 20 years of experience in clinical counseling and substance use treatment.

My practice is grounded in authenticity, hope, and compassion. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to begin a new chapter, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Take the step toward reclaiming your life you deserve it.
Hello! I am a LMFT and enjoy working with individuals to help them find tools to heal. I closely work with those managing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. With couples, I enjoy finding the source of conflict to aid them to communicate needs in an effective way and thus, increase emotional intimacy. As a Spanish speaking therapist I strive to create an inclusive environment for everyone and also work with issues relating ethnic identity, multicultural issues, and overall with underrepresented groups.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.
In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.
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.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Louisville
Searching for therapists in Louisville starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or work stress. Others want a therapist with training in a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on in therapy.
Louisville has a broad mental health care network across areas like Old Louisville, the Highlands, Downtown, and nearby neighborhoods. That gives you options, while still making it useful to narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and session format. Some people prefer meeting in person near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. Reading therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Therapy in Louisville can be a significant expense without insurance, so finding a therapist who accepts your plan matters. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected cost before care begins. Headway helps you compare Louisville therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready.
