Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy with Teresa Scott

Two people hold hands comfortingly, demonstrating comfort of ISTDP therapy.

I’m here to support you on your journey to feeling better through Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP Therapy).

Are you finding yourself feeling low, anxious, depressed, or frustrated with reality? I can help you heal your personal struggles, improve your sense of strength in your inner self, and find meaning in your life through the exploration of current and past experiences and relationships.

I specialize in ISTDP, a highly-efficient healing practice which will help you uncover blocks to your full potential by focusing on your brain and body.

I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress in their careers and relationships. I have expertise working with engineers, medical professionals, first responders, essential workers, therapists, and educators.

Call or email today to arrange a consultation. I look forward to working together to achieve your goals.

Hi, I’m an ISTDP Therapist, Teri Scott.

I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Davis, then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to complete a graduate degree in Fine Arts and a teaching credential. I worked as a teacher for 20 years in public and private schools in San Francisco and Portola Valley, CA before pursuing my second career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2017. Now, I’m passionate about leveraging the power of ISTDP therapy to help facilitate healing and change lives in person in Palo Alto and virtually throughout California.
