Dr. Caleb Scott offers psychotherapy and evaluation to adults, children, teenagers, couples, and families. Dr. Scott earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, and completed his clinical internship at Nassau University Medical Center. His doctoral research focused on the impact of social and economic factors on an individual’s psychology and on the development of the field of psychology.

Dr. Scott has expertise in treating a wide range of psychological issues and provides LGBTQ+ affirming, integrative psychoanalytic therapy. Dr. Scott views therapy as a process of reorienting the coordinates of one’s life through a deep exploration of one’s past and present conflicts. This enables the individual to leave behind problematic unconscious life-strategies, create new meanings, inhabit their desires more fully, and embrace their self-unfolding. He believes that creating a trusting, nonjudgmental bond in the therapeutic relationship, a shared understanding of the work to be done, and agreement around the methods for fulfilling this work are pivotal for the success of the therapy.

While Dr. Scott’s work is grounded in psychoanalytic theory and practice, he also pulls strategies and concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy. This means occasionally introducing mindfulness based strategies for managing overwhelming emotional experiences in times of distress. Additionally, he believes that no one can be viewed in isolation and his extensive engagement with socio-economic analysis, anthropology, religious studies, gender-sexuality studies, and world history, help to inform his understanding of clinical cases from a broad, multidisciplinary lens.
