FOUNDER

Hi there. My name is Scott Palazzolo. First thing I want you all to know is I’m a human first often times there are these mystical ideas about therapist that we have some sort of special powers we can cure we can fix which we do have certain skills and abilities to be present and to listen and to help you navigate difficulties, I like to think of myself is more of a guide as you navigate difficulty in life ultimately, I believe all people have the strengths, courage, clarity, and abilities that they need they are just often hidden. Like the sun behind the clouds even when it’s cloudy and dark, we know that the sun is there. My approaches humanizing I use internal family systems compassion focus therapy in a family system. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with extensive training and clinical social work for couples and families.

THERAPIST

As a student therapist at Michigan State University, I am completing my field placement with a focus on supporting individuals and couples. I’m especially interested in relationship counseling, helping people improve communication, navigate conflict, and deepen intimacy. I also have an interest in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or OCD. I use practices from Compassion-Focused Therapy and consider family relationships to guide my work. My background includes child custody investigations and adolescent advocacy, which has strengthened my understanding of family dynamics and resilience. Under the guidance of professional supervision, I provide relationship counseling and individual therapy in a supportive, inclusive space where clients feel understood, validated, and empowered.
