About
As a queer artist, I harness my creativity to serve my clients.
My name is Autumn, and I was a peer support for 10 years before I became a clinician. I received my master's of social work from Salem State University, and I enjoy working with people who are creative and emotional. I have worked with people managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, bipolar, and schizoaffective disorder. I love to see my clients connecting to social supports, exploring their interests, and building relationships.
My primary focus is on client empowerment. This includes helping to identify environmental factors oppressing your growth and healing, how to navigate imperfect systems to meet your needs, and community building—because healing is not individual work. Healing happens with other people, within communities and relationships. Modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
I can't wait to find the spark of inspiration that lights you up and helps you feel confident to follow your heart. Even one session might help you begin making amazing changes.

As a lesbian-identified woman of color, I understand the unique issue of identity exploration.
Josalin Scott is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Her main area of specialty is helping individuals who are coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD diagnosis, self-harming, pet loss, family building concerns, and LGBTQ+ matters. Over the years, Josalin has gained experience by working with individuals who are coping with emotional abuse, deportation of family members, death of loved ones, and other painful experiences. She also works with individuals who seek treatment for anger management and stress management.
Josalin implements effective psychotherapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, client-centered, and humanistic approaches, which can be effective in assisting clients to instill self-understanding by encouraging them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, and pain can bring life-altering results. There is no judgment, only compassion and a safe environment to heal.
"Have a particular life obstacle you’re trying to overcome? Are you working to cope with everyday stressors? Couple or family conflicts? Coping with the loss of a loved pet? Need a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist? Seeking help from a licensed therapist is the best way to put things into perspective," says Josalin. "As a licensed psychotherapist, I am committed to the well-being of all humans big and small. I am dedicated to going above and beyond to assist with helping people empower themselves and find the answers they seek. I look forward to the prospect of supporting you in conquering the problems you are presently dealing with!"

Relationship counseling can take several forms and employ different methods. Types of counseling can include:
Relationship counseling is the process of helping individuals recognize the source of the difficulties, better manage or reconcile their differences and stop repeating patterns of stress that they may be placing on the relationship. This process my take place between members of a family, partners in a romantic relationship, employees in a workplace, or between a professional and a client. Relationship counseling may focus on a specific issue that the parties involved need help to find an objective solution. Therefore, the process for these brief therapy or solution focused therapy sessions may be short-term lasting between 1 to 6 sessions.
Couple’s therapy is a subset of relationship counseling. Since couples counseling often takes place between individuals in a long-term relationship the process may be longer in duration. The process of couples counseling will often may be between 12 and 24 sessions. The Couples therapy sessions focus on ongoing problems with a longer history, where emotions involved in the problem are often the target and the agent of change.
Marriage counseling or marital therapy is a subset of Couples’ therapy where a lifetime commitment was agreed upon at the onset of the relationship. One or both spouses may feel that an aspect of that commitment has been violated. Or, while both spouses may continue to be committed to the relationship, the spouses’ patterns for dealing with emotionally charged issues make it difficult for them to resolve differences.
Family therapy works with families to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health.
There are various methods to relationship counseling. One treatment that has shown to be effective is called Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. Research has shown Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy to be effective for 69% of couples in treatment. Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy focuses on the patterns of interactive behavior between individuals within a relationship. Destructive and maladaptive patterns are identified and replaced with constructive and adaptive patterns.
However, other forms of Relationship therapy have been shown to be effective as well. More traditional models of relationship counseling have been shown to be effective for 50-60% of couples studied. At a five-year follow-up, the marriages of the 134 couples who had participated in couples therapy were helped in 62% of these relationships.
