Navigating Childhood Trauma: Understanding and Intervening for Healing
PRESENTERS
Presented by:
Blair Scott, LPC
Blair Scott is a licensed professional counselor from Charleston, SC. She graduated from Appalachian State with a BA in Psychology and an MA in Community Counseling, as well as a certificate in infant mental health and expressive arts therapy. She currently works at Dorchester mental health and is a school-based therapist primarily working with elementary-aged children and their caregivers. She provides individual and family therapy and collaborates with teachers.
Blair has extensive training and experience working with children/teens and families who have experienced trauma. She started her career working at Thompson Child and Family Focus (TCFF) which is an intensive residential program for children and teens who experienced complex trauma. She was fortunate to receive direct training from attachment specialists who provided consulting for the agency. This began Blair’s passion for understanding the impact of early life experiences, attachment and healing.
Blair is a lifelong learner and has continued to deepen her skills by attending training in a variety of topics and modalities. She is trained in evidenced based modalities for treating trauma, to include TF-CBT and EMDR with modification for children. Blair deeply believes that we must support caregivers caring for children to bring about the most change. She has seen the impact of generational trauma and works hard to help break cycles and strengthen families. She highly values her relationships with the children and families and is honored to be a part of their healing journey. Blair deeply believes in the resilience of people and the potential for healing and growth and is grateful to work in a field that is so impactful and rewarding.
When Blair is not working, she is spending time with her husband, two children and dog. She loves spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, reading and taking baths.
