Hey there. Congrats for making the first step in working towards healing. My name is Natalie Scott and I've been a therapist for about 13 years practicing in South Carolina and Washington State. My credentials are LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor - South Carolina), LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Washington), MAC (Masters Addiction Counselor - Nationally), AADC-CS (Advanced Addiction & Drug Counselor Clinical Supervisor- South Carolina), and SUDP (Substance Use Disorder Professional - Washington). My work has been in treating Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Marriage & Family, Stages of Life and Career Counseling. The therapy style I primarily use are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing but I am experienced in many other styles. I have experience in individual, group, couples, and family therapy. My counseling style is easy going and my goal when working with clients is to be client-centered and focused on assisting them in meeting their stated goals. Therapy success is dependent on my clients engagement in the process. My job is to support that process and aide in my client's healing and I do that by working to provide the necessary tools.

I am Al Watson, a Licensed Independent Social Worker for Clinical Practice in the state of South Carolina. I obtained my license in 1989 after completing a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Georgia in 1979. I have both administrative and clinical experience in the mental health field since 1972. I have been in solo counseling practice part-time since 1988 and full-time since 2010, providing counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. While I have worked in a variety of mental health services, for the last ten years I have focused on adults, children/adolescents, and families in private practice. I have provided services for those who are trying to resolve issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, being abused, self awareness and acceptance, sexual orientation, and parenting. I am trained primarily in analytical and cognitive-behavioral counseling and believe in providing client-centered service to my clients. I try to make contact with my clients to understand their physical, mental, and spiritual makeup and how they apply this combination in their daily life and in their plans for the future. I believe it is important to pay attention to your talents, and potential for creativity. I work to also understand your present life through past and present personal and family relationships. I will use this information to develop a treatment plan with you that best serves your needs. Really listening to you is the key to success in counseling goals. We all can experience difficult times in our lives, and come to wish there was someone in the professional counseling field to talk with to help us grow, finding ways to better cope with such times. I am happy to be available to work with you in finding ways to increase personal healthiness and I look forward to working with you.

My philosophy is that mental health is a necessary component of overall health and well-being. I take a holistic approach to therapy with the aim to provide support that encompasses the physical, social, emotional well-being of the client. Leading and encouraging with empathy and understanding, I listen and learn about the unique needs of the individual. After graduating with a masters in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I gained experience by accepting a diverse clientele including adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I have worked with clients impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration issues, and I am prepared to offer counseling services to these people and populations.

I help people to create the life that they want through owning their narrative and finding their voice. My philosophy is centered around teaching people how to rewrite their narrative and become the main character in their life. I believe we live our lives through stories and experiences. From the stories we've been told about ourselves to the ones we've adopted over time. I counseling approach utilizes narrative and bibliotherapy. Narrative therapy allows you to separate yourself from your problems or concerns. If all your life you were told that you were worthless or unlovable some point you may start to believe that narrative. Narrative therapy helps you re-write and take ownership of your story and your life.
