About Lisa Scott

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate intricate emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and anger management.

I offer a deeply empathetic approach to therapy, focusing on communication challenges, social anxiety, attachment dynamics, and women’s issues. My work is particularly attuned to the nuanced experiences of young adults, caregivers, and individuals confronting prejudice, discrimination, and family transitions.

Drawing from a rich background of professional training and cultural understanding, I create a supportive therapeutic environment that honors each client’s unique journey. My goal is to collaborate with you, providing thoughtful guidance and evidence-based strategies to help you develop resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful personal growth.

“Lisa was warm and caring”

“Ms Lisa is God sent. I could not ask for a better therapist. She listens and will make you laugh and I am only still going because of her.”

“I always looked forward to my sessions with Lisa. She is very unassuming, and I was very surprised when I suddenly realised that the changes I was looking for were taking place. She is very empathetic and understanding; a very good listener. If you are looking for someone to take charge, this may not be the person for you. However, if you need someone to listen and help you find your way through the maze of life, Lisa is great. If I do return, I would love to be matched with her again.”

“Very personable. Very helpful and very understandable of my situation and concerns”

“Upbeat, empathetic, interested and very engaged. Lisa is the best therapist I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.”

“Lisa has been great in understanding my issues and working through helping me process my feelings”

“Lisa is very easy to connect with. She is an awesome person and I wish her the best!”

“Lisa is very understanding and has helped me with my mental health in so many ways. She is very respectful and and wants the best for you. You can’t ask for any more than that.”

“Lisa Scott is a great therapist. I honestly feel like she took her time to listen to my issues, find ways to help me cope with them and surmount them. Although my time with her was brief (due to my own financial issues), it was nice having someone to talk to. She's a great listener”

“I strongly agree that Lisa Scott has helped me immensely with my life issues and strongly recommended her to my friends and family.”

“A nice and kind lady who talks to you like a friend, like a parent.”

“Lisa has been great, and I chalk it up to luck more than anything. My first therapist through BetterHelp turned out to be a wash, and I was quickly matched with Lisa. She really understands my situation, and has the professional experience to back up her knowledge and suggestions. It has really helped me in these challenging days.”

“Mrs. Scott is very professional, warm and attentive. She was very responsive and did her best to accommodate my needs and schedule. I truly appreciate her insight and kindness.”
