Hi, My name is Tamyka Scott. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in treating anxiety, trauma, and perinatal mental health. I've worked in both community mental health and private practice using evidenced based approaches, particularly Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in building resilience and creating meaningful change.
After the first session, my goal is to provide an experience where individuals will feel a sense of acceptance, understanding, and readiness to begin approaching goals that are collaboratively developed to open doors to a new life journey. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, I aim to create a collaborative environment for individuals to feel heard, understood, and supported in their journey towards healing and personal growth.
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, addressing not only the symptoms but underlying causes by providing unconditional support and a judgement free space.
I work well with women navigating life transitions, work-life balance challenges, trauma and anxiety. Many of the individuals I see feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and stuck in patterns of overthinking or self-doubt while trying to manage it all. Together we create a supportive space to process experiences, build coping skills and restore balance to feel more grounded confident and in control of life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
As a therapist, I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help individuals build a more meaningful and fulfilling life by introducing skills to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. ACT focuses on developing psychological flexibility--helping you connect with your values, take empowered action, and become more present in the moment. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma or life transitions, ACT can support you in making lasting changes aligned with who you truly want to be.
EMDR
EMDR Therapy works by activating the brain's natural ability to reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you feel more in control. Within my practice, EMDR Therapy is used to support individuals experiencing symptoms related to past or recent traumatic events.
