FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

Scott McConnell, CMHC

Hi everyone! I am passionate about working with clients with complex trauma and clients who are experiencing attachment difficulty in their significant relationships. I have training in EMDR, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy, which I utilize when treating trauma. For attachment related concerns I rely heavily on an approach informed by the research of Sue Johnson (EFT) and the Gottmans. I have experience addressing child-parent attachment and romantic partner attachment. At a previous job I worked with clients in foster care and who had been adopted, which helped to create my love for treating trauma and attachment.

Something about me that I do not openly disclose to clients is that I am a protestant Christian. I have found that many protestant Christians in the area want to find a therapist who is also a protestant Christian, and I get referrals for those clients at times. I know that we all hold to the ethics of not pushing our beliefs on clients and striving toward competency in working with clients of diverse backgrounds, which is why I don’t advertise by personal beliefs, but if you have a client who specifically wants a protestant therapist then I would be happy to work with them!
