Could this be the moment that defines your life for the better?
Welcome!
Many times we encounter difficulties in life and cannot find the answer or tool(s) to help us to continue to be successful. Or, maybe you are a person that feels as though you have never achieved success in your life? Regardless of the reason for you visiting this page today, Edgewater Counseling is here for you. This service was created for couples and individuals in need of a confidential environment to process life, life’s problems and, sometimes, the people that have caused a great deal of distress in your life.
Edgewater Counseling was founded to assist couples and individuals who have encountered difficulty with life and relationship. The intent is to help you to become the unique person that you were born to be. The focus is in meeting you wherever you are in life. Edgewater Counseling will meet those interested in incorporating faith into treatment. At my Clark Street office in Oviedo, I am available Monday-Friday. I am available for Saturdays by special appointment only.
The counseling room is a special place where you are encouraged to speak and share anything that you need to with the full assurance that it will be kept confidential. *Please see Counseling agreement.

About Jeremy
Jeremy W. Scott
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Many experiences over the years led me to value authenticity and to help others find their authentic self. It is my philosophy that we cannot be authentic because of the blockage inside of us; this blockage can inhibit life and cause us to seek many substitutes for true happiness.
One part of my life that aided me in becoming the person I am is education. I received a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management then went on to complete coursework to become a Licensed Special Education Teacher. As a result of working as a Licensed Special Needs Educator, I am aware of the challenges and anxiety that can come to parents who have a child with special needs. I welcome any caregiver who is working through personal challenges of parenting a child with special needs. After serving as a licensed special educator and coaching soccer and cross country running, I completed a Master of Arts in Church History and Doctrine. The exploration of theology and history greatly assisted me in becoming a person that seeks to understand the pathways of many different kinds of people and different faiths.
Not long after completing a graduate education, I began work in drug and alcohol recovery in Virginia Beach, Virginia, while also leading 12 Step groups. While leading 12-step groups and working 1-on-1 in drug and alcohol recovery, I was inspired to pursue a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Stetson University.
I received additional post-graduate training as follows:
- A one-year intensive training program that focuses on assisting individuals in their recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
- Certified Prepare and Enrich Counselor for work with couples and pre-marital counseling
- Completed Couples and Recovery (C.A.R.) training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Completed Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Completed Trauma and Affair Recovery training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Foundational training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) from the Beck Institute
- Advanced Training Cognitive Behavior Therapy working with Anxiety, Depression, and Personality Disorders from the Beck Institute
- Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy
