Andrew Scott, LCSW, CSAC, SAP

I'm Andrew Scott, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional with over 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s most difficult challenges. My practice is rooted in providing meaningful, practical support to those seeking change, healing, and personal growth—especially here in beautiful Hawaii where I’ve served nearly my entire career.

My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in real-world experience. Whether we're working together individually, as a couple, or in a group setting, I focus on creating a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment. My style is supportive yet direct, encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, uncover patterns, and build concrete strategies for moving forward. I believe that healing begins when people feel heard and understood—and from there, real transformation can occur.

I specialize in working with individuals facing life challenges, motivated to change, wanting to be a better version of themselves, and facing life transitions. Adults, Couples, Veterans, and those seeking culturally responsive care will find that I understand their unique needs and backgrounds. Whether you're struggling with addiction, discrimination, the choices you made, involvement with the Criminal Justice system, or simply trying to make sense of your current life circumstances, I’m here to help you navigate the journey.

Therapy with me is grounded, honest, and focused on empowerment. I maintain open lines of communication, always striving to foster trust and consistency. Clients describe my tone as calm, thoughtful, and action-oriented. I believe in celebrating small victories while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
