Many of these problems can be addressed or improved with special learning techniques or accommodations. In order to determine what is needed, a full psychological and educational battery is needed.

Portrait of Dr. Scott Dr. Giovanni Scott, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist

As a psychologist, I enjoy helping people to improve their functioning. It is through a thorough assessment and individualized approach that I seek to understand a person's difficulties. To achieve that, I assess each patient in the context of his/her culture, faith and ethnicity. Additionally, I seek to help patients better understand their motivations and the impact of belief systems on their choices and behaviors.

My training includes extensive work with children as young as 5, adolescents, adults, couples and families. When working with children, parent/guardian consultations are essential, as they are partners in the healing of their children. It is the combined efforts of child, parent, teacher and psychologist that result in success.

I have developed competency in providing evaluations of psychoeducational, psychological, and emotional functioning. I provide comprehensive feedback and make recommendations that support optimizing your life and your performance. I can also avail myself for consultation.
