Dr. Scott is also an accomplished educator. He serves as an assistant professor of Psychiatry at Touro Medical College and the Medical College of Wisconsin, training medical students and residents in integrative and functional approaches to mental health. After relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 2020, he continued teaching as an adjunct professor at Seattle University and Pacific Lutheran University. In the same year, he founded Prisma Wellness with a vision to deliver modern, science-based, and personalized mental health care to patients underserved by conventional, one-size-fits-all approaches.

He precepts multiple Nurse Practitioners and medical doctors, collaborates with clinicians nationwide, and holds weekly meetings with Prisma Wellness providers to share his expertise, insights from complex cases, and the latest research and treatment approaches—fostering innovation and growth in the field of mental health. While education is central to his work, his foremost focus remains uncovering the root causes affecting his patients and applying the most advanced scientific methods to guide them on their healing journeys.

Dr. Scott has expanded Prisma Wellness with new locations in Ohio (2025) and Winter Park, Florida (2026), bringing accessible, patient-centered care to more communities. His clinical expertise includes ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma (both physical and emotional), and developmental disabilities. He has served as an advisor to Autism Friendly Spaces, a nonprofit transforming public spaces into welcoming environments for individuals with disabilities and their families. He also provided psychiatric care for children and adolescents in Washington State’s foster care system as both an attending psychiatrist and advisor at Catholic Community Services.

Central to Dr. Scott’s philosophy is reducing reliance on controlled medications whenever possible, combining cutting-edge research with practical, individualized strategies to achieve meaningful outcomes for his patients. His approach blends science, compassion, and innovation, ensuring that each person receives care tailored to their unique needs.

A Message From Dr. Scott:

“As the Medical Director of Prisma Wellness, I am both honored and excited to collaborate with individuals and families who seek innovative solutions for their health challenges.

While I am a board-certified Psychiatrist, I have shifted away from traditional psychiatry in my practice. For too long, psychiatry has been closely associated with mental illness and medication. Although medication remains one aspect of my work, I believe psychiatry should emphasize physical and cognitive enhancement through functional medicine.

This new approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes of your challenges rather than simply applying a quick fix. For example, the conventional treatment for ADHD typically involves medication. While some may benefit from this, others may experience significant side effects that create additional problems. I prefer to leverage modern tools to uncover the biological factors contributing to these issues and address them directly. This often leads to effective and sustainable resolutions without the need for medication.

A functional approach can be successfully applied to a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. The future of healthcare lies in treating the individual as a whole, using a wellness model rather than the traditional sick model that has dominated. With this vision in mind, I am eager to bring this progressive approach to you and your family.”
