Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Stamford, CT

Welcome — I’m Patrick Scott, and I’m passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. With more than 20 years of professional experience in mental health and substance use counseling, I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and results-focused approach to every client relationship. My career has been dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, strengthen emotional wellness, overcome addiction, rebuild confidence, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I have experience dealing with diverse populations.

I take a straightforward, no-bullshit approach to therapy—but always with warmth, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be honest, challenged to grow, and supported every step of the way. I believe in working collaboratively: you bring your experiences and insight, and I bring my clinical training and perspective. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and work toward meaningful, sustainable change. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level talk—it’s about doing the real work, with someone who’s fully in it with you.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
