Scott is devoted to working with you to identify and integrate the right approaches to meet your needs. He employs his knowledge of trauma, human development, and power dynamics in all of his work.

Over time, Scott has worked in a variety of spaces, including family housing in Vermont and community organizing in Milwaukee, WI. He received his bachelor’s degree in history and is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Minnesota.

Elizabeth Lieske, MD (she/her/hers) is a third-year psychiatry resident in the Hennepin Healthcare-Regions program. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Macalester College and her MD from the University of Minnesota Medical School. She is excited to take a break from her typical psychiatry work and continue growing as a therapist this year at Hamm Clinic. Elizabeth has had training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and strives to integrate pieces of these approaches to meet clients where they’re at. She believes that each person is the expert on their own story, and that her role is to walk with clients as they explore these stories and uncover the tools to their healing. She aims to bring a warm, non-judgmental and non-assuming approach to the therapy space, while validating clients’ lived experiences and encouraging their self-acceptance and empowerment.
