About Scott
Dr. Scott Lovaas helps people facing depression and a wide range of life stresses. He listens closely to understand each person's situation and offers straightforward, practical support. His style is direct but kind, and he aims to help people find useful steps forward.
He uses ideas from several therapeutic approaches to fit what a person needs. Sessions focus on understanding the whole picture - how work, relationships, health, and past experiences interact. He blends problem-solving moments with deeper conversation about meaning and patterns.
Scott brings 30 years of clinical experience and several advanced degrees to his work. He has practiced in many settings across 13 states, and that variety shapes the way he thinks about problems. He also draws on creative practices and humor to lighten hard conversations when appropriate.
His sessions tend to be candid and solution-focused, while also making room to reflect on longer-term patterns. He encourages people to set clear goals and test small changes between meetings. He can work on practical issues like sleep, addiction, and coping with life changes as well as relational concerns and grief.
Outside of therapy he has five grown daughters and has traveled widely. That background informs a flexible, curious approach in sessions. He welcomes questions and prefers to begin by hearing about the client's immediate needs and goals.
