ORANGE YOU GLAD COUNSELING

Hello,

My name is Daimian Holiday Scott I was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida. I am a mental health therapist and the sole owner of my practice called Orange You Glad Counseling, LLC. I am ready to help you on your journey as I know there is little doubt life can be overwhelming at times and I am grateful you are making a decision for yourself and seeking counseling. 

Types of Clients (Adolescents, Young Adults, Adults, Health Changes (Cancer, Etc.), Creative Types)

While I work with clients of all ages my passion is in the college, young adult, adolescent, and teenage populations with previous experience interning at an adolescent psychiatric inpatient facility and as a middle school counselor. 

Additionally, through my experience at UF Health where I served as a counselor, social worker, and program manager for the Adolescent and Young Adult Supportive Oncology program assisting people between 15 and 39 years old, I have immensely enjoyed my time working with those in the oncology (cancer) population and those who have experienced health changes and are adjusting to a new medical diagnosis. 

Further, I have a passion for working with those in the creative community as I am a musician and have pursued following my passion starting a music career in the San Francisco Bay Area (see ABOUT section for more). Through past positions and internships, I also have experience with all ages having run several groups for both adolescents and adults.

Types of Concerns (Anxiety (Social, Medical, Depression, Grief and Loss, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem, Relational Conflict)

I enjoy helping clients navigate various issues including anxiety (general, social, medical, etc.), grief and loss, navigating life transitions, relational conflict, depression, and self-esteem. I am person-centered and know that if the experience doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. My style is client-centered, supportive, and solution-focused. By creating a safe environment where you are supported and feel comfortable I am here to help explore different skills and techniques that will assist in leading to new ways of approaching life's challenges.

Approach (Person-centered, Trauma-informed, CBT, Mindfulness)

While looking through a trauma-informed lens I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors) along with aspects of Insight-oriented therapy, Mindfulness, and other treatments as necessary.

Bringing a warm and supportive presence I will work with you wherever you are with the hope of moving toward where you want to be.

Thank you and I look forward to going on this journey together,

Daimian Holiday Scott
