L. Scott Rinker, Ph.D., LPCS
(#62259)
National Certified Counselor
Clinical Director
“Psychotherapy can be a very rewarding process - most substantial growth is. We would like to help you explore alternatives in your life and resolve some of the pain, fear, or regrets you may have.
In addition to working with anxiety and depression, my clinical specialties are grief; geropsychology; domestic violence; and masculinity, working with men who would like to, or need to, improve their relationships with their families or significant others.
I use a variety of theories to help clients move into healthier lives, as different as that may be for each person. The type of therapy that I provide is strongly guided by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on the context of behavior and mindfulness to encourage an awareness of one’s present moment choices. With those tools a person can actively choose behaviors which are in the service of what they value.
I genuinely care about a person’s process in therapy. I would like to help you become the person you wish to be, the person you would like to be with your family, or to communicate your thoughts more effectively with others.”
- Dr. Rinker completed his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University in College Station, focusing on masculinity and domestic violence. He has additional training in geropsychology, grief work, biofeedback, and Motivational Interviewing.
