About Scott Tomey

Life can be very challenging, so sometimes it takes assistance to become more self-aware and make the changes required to rise above the circumstances. When you come into my office, I will be there to support you through these difficult times and help you develop coping skills that will enable you to start making positive changes in the ways that you think or live.

I graduated with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Michigan University. I primarily work with children, adolescents, and adults specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and behavioral concerns. I have prior experience working with diverse populations of college-aged adults and non-traditional students with the University of Michigan-Dearborn Counseling and Psychological Services, as well as experience working with a wide range of clients within a private practice setting.

All of us would like to improve our lives. By forming a strong therapeutic relationship, we can start strengthening your life by working together largely within a Psychodynamic approach or through a combination of therapeutic approaches that are tailored specifically with your needs and goals. Together we can find hope or meaning in your life, gain greater insight towards your problems, and begin developing the necessary skills needed to cope in the world today.

Unique Approach to Therapy

Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice, unlike some providers in mental health, I view each person as important and not just “a number“. I find that checking in regularly with clients about their goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on individual growth. Also, I find it important to work with each person in identifying any barriers that may be present which could hinder therapy and medication from “doing their job“. I firmly believe that positive mental health and well-being does not happen in “a vacuum”, but many factors affect this, therefore a holistic approach is required to achieve lasting results.

Specialized & Extended Training

What makes Scott Tomey stand out is his high level of education and experience. He, along with all Start My Wellness therapists, attends at least 120 hours of extensive ongoing training and personal development per year in treating anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship problems. This rigorous instruction differentiates Scott from others in the field and allows him to provide the highest quality of service to patients.

Start My Wellness definitely receives 5 stars. Their staff are incredibly helpful and want you to get the care you need. I did start by seeing Scott, but found him to not be the best fit for me. This can be a potentially uncomfortable situation for someone who already has anxiety on the best of days. Between talking with Laila who I see for medication and WISH I could have her as my actual therapist, and Mike Misiak at the main office, we are all in alignment on what my treatment plan is going forward. I am so impressed with Start My Wellness, which I found through the program my work started, I am going to be doing a full company presentation to talk about my experience and how SMW really does a great job of taking the stigma out of therapy! Thank you to everyone!

I have not been here but I go to the previous employer of Abigail (Platt) Schellhammer… I’m very saddened she is gone. I have seen her last 6 years. She is so professional and personable. I prayed she stayed in family practice in my area. I may just drive to Ferndale🥰Wishing her happiness. Also letting SMW know how lucky they are to have her. I’ve went to her replacement this week and let’s just say she CANNOT be replaced. I left crying after realizing I lost the BEST practitioner I could ask for. UGH!!!! Best of luck to her though she deserve the world.
