Dr.Vernon Scott

You are more than your story of pain or struggle. If you’ve felt stuck by shame, uncertainty, or relational tension, therapy doesn’t have to reinforce those stories. Therapy can open doors to new ones. I walk with people who are ready to reclaim their narrative, reclaim their voice, and build stronger connections with themselves and others. I specialize in working with: Black men looking to heal and grow; survivors of sexual violence or childhood sexual trauma; and LGBTQ+ individuals and kink affirming couples seeking deeper intimacy. In our work together, we’ll separate you from the problem. We will talk about the shame, the trauma, the struggles, not as definitions of who you are, but as forces you may resist, understand, and shift. We’ll find alternative threads in your story, uncovering moments when you acted with strength, choice, or agency—even in small ways—and build from there. When I work with couples, especially with high conflict, I draw from collaborative couples therapy approaches to help you communicate more safely and honestly while still exploring each person’s narrative. Specialties: I take on a person-centered approach to therapy. I primarily utilize Narrative Therapy during my sessions with individuals and couples. For couples who tend to have high conflict, I prefer to utilize Collaborative Couples Therapy to assist them in improving their communication with each other, while also working through their conflicts.
