Hi, My name is Tamyka Scott. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Youngstown, Ohio. I graduated from Youngstown State University where I received a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2018. For the past five years in the profession, I have worked within a community-based setting, and virtual private practice where I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy in helping individuals regain control of their lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.
