"I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years as a counselor and supervisor for counselors."

“Life on planet earth can be very challenging and sometimes the challenges can be overwhelming. As humans we are meant to work together to face those challenges. I’m here to help with whatever you’re experiencing in a non-judgmental and supportive way so you can experience greater peace and harmony in life.”

Dr. Rheinschmidt holds a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Psychology and Christian Counseling from Louisiana Baptist University, Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from St. Mary’s University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in general studies from American Christian College & Seminary.

Dr. Rheinschmidt is an experienced counselor and psychotherapist who has provided individual, couples, family, and group therapy. He is certified in several evidence-based therapy models including Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Biofeedback. He has extensive experience in providing treatment for trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, couples issues, and adjustment problems.

“I practice counseling in a holistic manner addressing mind, body, and spirit to support health and healing. I use evidence-based treatment practices, along with complementary and alternative methods, to help each client improve their ability to handle life’s challenges and grow stronger while doing so. I have considerable experience working with military veterans and their families. Being a retired veteran myself, I have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges that many veteran families face.”

In his personal time Dr. Scott likes to hang out with his family, including two grandsons, exercise, and train in the martial arts of Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan.
