Christopher Scott
Supervised Therapist
About
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a passion for walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, find healing, and discover their God-given purpose. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also honoring the importance of faith and a Biblical worldview in the healing process. As a certified MATRIX Model clinician, I have experience facilitating Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) groups, individual therapy, and psychoeducational interventions. I take a holistic approach to counseling, recognizing the deep connection between mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space where individuals can explore their struggles, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen their faith in the process. I believe in the transformative power of God’s grace and strive to help clients align their lives with His purpose, experiencing healing and restoration.
Education & Credentials:
• BA Biblical Studies (with minor in Psychology) – Colorado Christian University (2019)

• Member of the National Association of Addiction Counselors (NAADAC), American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), Christian Association of Psychological Studies (CAPS), Association of Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) and Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF).
Personal Approach:
I believe true healing happens when we integrate faith with evidence-based practices, allowing God to work in the broken places of our lives. By combining professional counseling with biblical principles, I strive to help individuals overcome obstacles, strengthen their faith, and build fulfilling, purpose-driven lives.
