Scott Donovan, LMFT
Telehealth services are available in Texas. Telehealth and in-person services are available in California.
I’m Scott Donovan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Together, we identify what you would like to change, establish meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward.
Areas of Focus
I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.
I have extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and incorporate a trauma-informed approach into my work. I understand that healing is highly individual, and I strive to create a supportive, respectful environment where clients can explore difficult experiences and emotions without judgment and at a pace that feels appropriate for them.
My work is grounded in the belief that people have the capacity for resilience, growth, and meaningful change. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches and collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that support emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and greater balance in everyday life.

Professional Profile Summary
Hi, I’m Hannah. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy using a warm, collaborative, and client-centered approach. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan and welcome clients from diverse cultures, identities, backgrounds, and life experiences. I approach therapy with cultural humility, compassion, curiosity, and respect for the experiences that have shaped who you are.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, understood, and supported without judgment. Whether you are seeking individual therapy for yourself, support for your child or teen, help strengthening your relationship, or guidance for your family, we will work together to identify what matters most to you and create meaningful, achievable goals.
I support clients navigating concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem, emotional well-being, and personal growth. I believe you are the expert on your own story, and our work will be guided by your goals, values, needs, strengths, and comfort level.
For clients who would like faith or spirituality to be part of the therapeutic process, I also offer faith-integrated therapy. This is always based on your preferences, and I warmly welcome clients of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds.
