About Scott Pranis

Hello. My name is Scott, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of New York with over 15 years of experience working in the Mental Health field as well as providing Individual, Couples, and Family Counseling in clinics, hospital settings, correctional facilities, and individual homes. I have worked with people of all ages, focused on a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues, family conflict, communication, parenting issues, trauma, Schizophrenia, career planning, as well as general life changes and uncertainty. I attempt to provide warm, safe, non-judgemental, yet focused discussions that aim to support your desired goals and future plans. I hope that we can work together on navigating the next steps in your life. Additional days and times are available on request.
