Scott Earley is dynamic and dedicated Licensed Mental Health Clinician with a decade of experience empowering adolescents and adults to overcome challenges and achieve positive behavioral change. Scott decided later in life to go onto the mental health field due to a life changing incident which occurred when he was 26 years of age. Working a long day at a radio station where Scott was a weekend disc jockey, and on his way home, Scott was struck by a Drunk Driver and totaled Scott’s car and sent Scott directly to the hospital. As a result of the accident, Scott suffered a T-12/L-1 complete spinal cord injury which left him paralyzed from the waist down permanently. Instead of slowing Scott down he decided to use his experience and his disability as a means to help others who are struggling with similar issues.
As Scott likes to say “I may not have grown up in your house but I am definitely familiar with the neighborhood”, meaning that even though we go through life experiences as an individual and precieve those experiences through your own sense of the world, Scott reassures he is familiar with the issues of depression, anxiety and everything Scott counsels because he has either been through those experiences personally and/or professionally. More importantly, Scott uses his story to motivate and inspire people to understand that the human body and psyche is not only resilent but adaptable. Scott uses his story through skilled evidence-based treatments such as CBT and DBT, with specialized expertise in addiction recovery, ADHD, panic disorders, depression, and social anxiety. Committed to fostering resilience and improving the lives of young individuals through compassionate, client-centered care.
