Scott Shepherd, LPC

Scott Shepherd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people navigate substance use, mood disorders, trauma, and the practical stresses of everyday life. He brings long experience working with individuals across the lifespan who struggle with addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and challenges such as anger, stress, impulsive behaviors, and co-occurring conditions. His practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy and parenting issues, attention differences, and specific focus areas including codependency, first responder and veteran issues, process and substance addictions, and the emotional impacts of shame and guilt.

Scott’s clinical work centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with additional use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support change and build practical coping skills. He emphasizes helping clients gain clearer awareness of difficult patterns, consider alternative perspectives, and choose interventions that fit their goals. Scott frames therapy as a collaborative process in which he supports and encourages clients as they rebuild resilience, work through wounds from trauma or loss, and pursue more fulfilling relationships and life direction.

Across decades of practice, he has focused on practical strategies for recovery and growth, pairing evidence-informed techniques with a supportive, goal-oriented approach that helps people move from crisis toward steadier functioning and self-understanding.
