Scott (Walter) Dilk

Hi, I am Scott Dilk, I specialized in trauma recovery, depression and anxiety. I am a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Washington. I have been in the mental health field for over fifteen years and have been a mental health counselor for over ten. My early career helped me develop a calm reassurance during crisis, but I have dedicated training and attention in recent years to trauma recovery. This includes EMDR, but I am also skilled at Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. With this training and understanding, I am able to treat a wide range of people and difficulties. One of my main philosophies of therapy is described in a metaphor. Therapy is an economy and trust is the currency. This leads me to be attentive to the whole person. It also is a personal style of therapy even when doing EMDR. How can you trust someone that is not authentic themselves? We will become partners in your well being. The main thing that I want to create is a sense of safety in sessions that lead to client's better understanding of themselves. The client would then be able to generalize some of the things learned in session to broader life outside the session. This is true regardless of the reasons the client comes to therapy whether it is trauma, depression or anxiety or the many other difficulties I have helped clients resolve.
