Skyelar Scott, PLPC

I graduated cum laude from Louisiana Tech University with my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I then earned a Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

I work with people of all ages regarding individual, relationship, and family related issues. I thoroughly enjoy working with teenagers and young adults during the big, and small, transitions in life. I collaborate with clients to tackle many different challenges, including: LGBTQIA+ challenges, gender and sexual diversity (including, but not limited to, polygamous and open relationships), intimacy and sex therapy, self-esteem issues, self-growth, relationship conflicts and challenges, feelings of shame or guilt, and much more.

My overall goal for therapy is to work with clients to find their true authentic selves, and for the client to live a life that satisfies their wants and needs. I stand by and encourage clients to work on discovering their true self and live with no shame or guilt regarding who they are. I collaborate with clients to find the necessary tools to overcome times of challenges and hardships. My clients know themselves the best; therefore, they are the expert in their own lives. I believe that it is of the utmost importance that I provide a safe space for clients to always feel seen and heard.

I try to be one of the most welcoming, down to earth, empathic therapists that I can be, because that is what I searched for in a therapist for so long. I am a huge empath, so I listen deeply to try to understand what a client is going through. While I may not know, or even begin to imagine, what my clients are going through, I will stand by their side and encourage them the entire time.
