Also known as Shavaun Scott

In my 30-year career as a psychotherapist, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of clients. Many have been victims or perpetrators of violence.

I'm passionate about trauma recovery, violence prevention, and the healing power of heart-to-heart connections. I know that, individually and collectively, we can make a difference.

I'm dedicated to sharing insights into all aspects of human behavior and translating research from behavioral science into everyday language. My work is always evidence-based and trauma-informed.

I love exploring unconventional paths and uncommon bravery. I'm convinced there are solutions. I hold hope in the palm of my hand.

Nicola Ranson’s A Slice of Orange is far more than a memoir about life inside the Rajneesh movement. It is a psychologically nuanced exploration of longing, belonging, idealism, and the very human desire to find a place where one feels fully seen and ...more
