About

Scott McGrath is a Coach, Therapist, Consultant and Trainer working with individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations.

Scott has extensive experience with children, adolescents, young adults (thirteen to twenty-five years old) and adults facing challenges in all life stages. Scott works with clients from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.

In addition to direct practice with clients, Scott works as a coach and consultant with parents, educators, camp directors and staff, and facilitates a coaching/support group for other private practitioners (therapists, social workers and counselors).

Scott also plans and delivers customized training programs on a wide range of topics focusing on working with children or teens, parenting, supervisory skills, stress management, effective communication, and personal development (goal setting/attainment, developing a personal mission, improving relationships, etc…).

Bringing his many skills together, Scott has been responsible for planning, developing, delivering and supporting staff training by ongoing coaching and case consultation for the management and staff at a residential camp which hosts more than 500 children and adolescents every summer.

Scott also holds a year-round position in the Counseling and Disability Office at a local college where he serves students challenged by mental illness and/or learning disabilities. Through coaching and personal counseling, Scott supports student success at school and beyond.

In each of his roles, Scott relies on a powerful combination of coaching and therapy. There are times when his perspectives as a therapist provide important insights and interventions in overcoming the barriers to achieving goals. While at other times his emphasis on coaching helps clients to focus on goal achievement and strategies that are critical in breaking free of reoccurring patterns that keep people and organizations stuck in the past. As both a Coach and Therapist, Scott gives you the benefit of drawing on the best techniques of each in helping you or your organization achieve your goals, and live a more rewarding personal and professional life.
