Scott Percelay

Before earning his Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College, Scott Percelay completed his B.A. at The New School where he studied film and psychology. Scott believes stories are powerful tools that can lead to healing, growth, and discovery. From a place of non-judgmental understanding we can begin to write, rewrite, or change our stories and, in turn, find comfort and transformation.

Scott takes an integrative approach to therapy utilizing Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic techniques. Scott has experience helping clients with a range of topics including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem, identity development, maintaining healthy relationships, and navigating life transitions.

Scott is currently an adjunct lecturer at CUNY's Hunter College. He is also passionate about engaging in social justice work. Scott currently sits on the panel of facilitators for (Re)Defining Power: Exploring the White Male Voice in Diversity Work, an annual conference with the goal of providing young white men with language and understanding to work with their communities in the fight for racial and gender equity and justice.

Outside of work you can find him exploring new places (both in and outside of NYC), playing volleyball, or trying out a new recipe.
