Dr. Scot Seitz

The foundation of my therapy is a collaborative relationship based on warmth and acceptance. At the beginning of therapy, my main goal is to get to know you and the context in which you live. I draw from a multicultural perspective that highlights the importance of identity (e.g., gender, race, sexuality, mother, son, partner), and I also respect the impact that our environments have on us (e.g., family, workplace environments). I will work collaboratively with you to develop goals for therapy and a plan to attain those goals. I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches to provide a tailored therapy experience. The most common approaches that I use are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and interpersonal therapy (IPT). I also use exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive and other anxiety-related disorders. Throughout therapy, I incorporate empowerment-based strategies that can help you create the change that you are seeking.
