Vivian Scott – Founder
Vivian has been learning and teaching what it means to be mentally healthy since she was in her 20s.
Laughingly, she relates a story how her family gift for public speaking emerged as a teen. She was participating in a motivational movie, inviting other teens to consider the health careers. She took to heart what she said to others in that movie about goal-setting, and found direction for herself. She first became a registered respiratory therapist, and later, returned to college at Our Lady of the Lake University to complete her Master’s degree and become a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. The habit of finding positive direction, and making goals that fit one’s life, became a formula she has used throughout her life. This formula, being part of her professional mission, has led her to personal goal fulfillment and life-affirming mental health.
Vivian enjoys a highly successful private practice working with clients from 3 years of age thru 91. Crisis management is her specialty. Working with people, before they get deeply into the extreme stress of chaotic problems, is what fires her determination for the Mental Health Store.
In addition to working with clients, Vivian is active in community and in mental health policy development. She attends education seminars to share knowledge from the most respected authorities for mental health topics. These new breakthrough techniques are then developed into programs for the site which everyday people can benefit from. The mix of logic and humor keep people learning from her and keep them coming back for more.
Quality service to people is a common value throughout her life and career. In her role as founder and director of Mental Health Store, Vivian Scott guides the vison of the site. She spearheads content and curriculum, overall administrative oversight and clinical relevance.
