Scott Waters, LPC

About:

One of the greatest joys I have is watching someone find more about themselves and the world around them. For myself, this process is best done with compassion, empathy, and some appropriate challenge. I know that I need a place that is safe enough to risk being vulnerable as I approach my personal growth. I also understand that if I’m going to grow I need to push through my fear of being judged and rejected. This fear is normal and stops people often from coming to counseling.

I try to offer this to each of my clients; a safe space to discover how to be the best person they can be. My desire is to walk with you in whatever part of the life journey you are in, respecting who you are and who you want to become through this therapeutic relationship.

Experience:

I’ve been doing pastoral counseling since 2010. I started my private practice in 2014 and have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples since I started.

I hold my Masters in Counseling, which I received from Western Seminary in 2014 In Portland, Oregon.

Licensure:

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon. (C4911)
