He makes me feel not only scene but understood. He challenges me to make the decisions I know will not just improve my situation I face, but pushes me to better understanding who I am. I’ve come a long way in such a short time. And I am very grateful for his time and commitment to helping me be a better me today then who I was yesterday. Thank you Dr.Scott.

This is the 6th therapist I matched with, and I can say with confidence that I no longer need to worry about not having the perfect match for me. Not only does Dr Leodis Scott listen to my immediate concerns, but also demonstrates his ability to multitask with focusing on long term goals as well. His perspective is unique and is unmatched. I don’t say this lightly, but he really does have a way of hearing you and also making you think through your mind on your own, working your way to a question you may have never thought of on your own. Then you’re getting to a deeper layer, a deeper level, one you may never even thought of beforehand. 10/10 would recommend!

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.

Doc is an amazing therapist. Specifically if you’re looking for coping mechanisms and enjoy assignment-based therapy, Leodis Scott will be a good fit for you. He is non-judgmental, kind, and allows me space to critically think during our sessions. He’s kind and has a sense of comforting humor and I fully believe he has my best interest in mind.
Leodis Scott has been a wonderful therapist so far! Right from the beginning he's challenged me and my thinking in ways other therapists have not and I love the fact he gives me something to work on before our next session. I'm learning new things about myself and the way I deal with certain situations. I am confident he will help me get to where I want to be! I recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their mental health.
