Hello! My name is Scarlett Walton — I’m a former practicing psychologist and now a writer dedicated to helping people find emotional balance, inner peace, and personal growth. For over 12 years, I worked in the field of psychology, supporting individuals through anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
My Professional Journey
I began my career in a private therapy practice in Chicago, where I counseled adults and teens on self-esteem, anxiety disorders, and emotional healing. Over the years, I conducted more than 5,000 sessions, took part in educational programs, and led workshops of my own.
But at some point, I realized I wanted to share my knowledge with a wider audience. That’s how this blog was born.
A Personal Story
A few years ago, I went through a painful divorce. It was a turning point in my life. I experienced the full spectrum of emotions I had helped others navigate for years. That was when I began to write. I felt a strong desire to reach out to those going through difficult times — even if we couldn’t meet in person.
Writing became more than self-expression for me. It became a continuation of my therapeutic work — through words, advice, personal stories, and emotional support from afar.
The Mission of This Blog
This blog is a safe space for anyone seeking answers, encouragement, or simply a bit of inspiration. I share not only professional insights but also real-life experiences, reflections, and practical advice rooted in years of practice.
I truly believe that words can heal. If even one of my articles helps you feel a little more understood or a little less alone — then I know I’m on the right path.
Welcome, stay awhile, and most importantly — be kind to yourself 💛
