I truly appreciated my time with Mr Scott. He walked me through my care plan and educated me on the reason for the approach. He took the time to dive in, but provide me with tools to help in the present. He heard me out and never spoke over me, allowed me expound and express my truth without judgment or critique. He gracefully encouraged me for this new journey and I’m excited for the help I received, and the plan for a better future.
