Scout Newkirk-Ho

Marriage & Family Therapist (Associate License Pending)

Welcome—I’m really glad you’re here.

My name is Scout! I’m a person-centered therapist who works through an attachment-based lens, helping clients explore how early relationships shape the way they move through the world today. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling in relationships, I offer a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported.

I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Whitworth University, where I also completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology and Fine Art. My training includes Emotion-Focused Therapy, Lifespan Integration, and Child-Centered Play Therapy, all of which support my relational, client-centered approach.

Therapy, for me, is deeply relational. I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood—and that starts in the therapy room. Growing up overseas, I was surrounded by people from diverse backgrounds, each carrying their own unique story. That experience taught me early on the beauty of listening and the importance of honoring where someone comes from. I’ve always considered it a privilege to hold space for others and to walk alongside them in their healing journey.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you’re here to untangle patterns from your past, work on your relationships, or just try to feel more like yourself, I’m here to help.

Let’s take this step together.
