More about Scarlett
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I'm a therapist, with 3 years of experience, who is dedicated to supporting clients through depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and eating disorders. I work with individuals navigating social anxiety, isolation, communication challenges, and life transitions like divorce and separation. I'm also experienced in addressing body image concerns, abandonment wounds, and the lasting effects of trauma.
My approach centers on fostering self-love, facilitating forgiveness, and building meaningful connections. I'm committed to helping you develop healthier communication patterns and work through impulsivity and relational patterns that may be holding you back.
I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered perspective to our work together, grounded in compassion and respect for your unique journey. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and greater peace in your life. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, and I'm proud to offer culturally responsive care that honors your values and identity.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
