Scott Heider, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s most challenging seasons. He brings a compassionate, holistic style to therapy, with a focus on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and matters of faith.

Scott supports individuals facing life transitions, relationship and family dynamics, workplace stress, and the desire for personal growth. He often helps clients strengthen self-worth, improve communication, reduce isolation, and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose. Clients may come to therapy to process grief, manage overwhelming pressure, or develop healthier ways of coping with anger, self-esteem challenges, or shifting roles at home and work.

As an Army veteran and former firefighter, Scott understands the unique stressors that can affect veterans, first responders, and those carrying heavy responsibilities for others. He offers tailored support for men’s issues, parenting and relationship concerns, caregiver burnout, and the strain that can accumulate across different stages of adulthood. Whether someone is working through past experiences or looking to build a more grounded and meaningful present, Scott provides professional guidance with empathy and respect.
