Scott Bone, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

I earned a master's degree in clinical counseling from Northwestern University, and I pursued counseling because my life experience put me in a unique position to help people overcome difficult circumstances in their lives. Since childhood, I've endured ceaseless adversity that's made it essential to have a safe place to explore my past, present, and future. The gift of counseling was the beginning of my healing journey and the first time, in a long time, I'd felt hopeful. After over a decade in corporate America, it became clear that my passion is to provide those who are struggling access to the same opportunity for personal growth. I don't believe in a client and counselor hierarchy. I prefer to think of us as fellow travelers on separate, yet similar, journeys to attain a balance of purpose, pleasure, mastery, and autonomy. My specialty is unique lived experience combined with robust education and a distinctive ability to relate to the struggle. Stepping outside one's comfort zone is an important and universal factor in personal growth, but it's intimidating. Seeking counsel from an unbiased clinician, who is removed from the chaos, often helps to foster the self-awareness necessary to create healthy, sustainable change. I look forward to working with you.
