Scott Green, LPC
Hello! I am Scott Green and am an LPC. Your experiences in life are important and relevant to your current mental health, and my intent is to help you understand your past to move forward, facing forward, into a more stable and healthy daily life. I emphasize prioritizing oneself, not to be selfish, but to have the most positive impact on others and your own daily life. You are just as important as those who get your time, energy, and love, and I look forward to helping you discover, or rediscover, taking care of yourself as much as you do others.
