Jacksonville Head Shot

Qualified and experienced to assist with your emotional wellness, I’m Dr. Scott Lingen, here to make a positive difference in your life.

I am licensed by the California Board of Psychology (CA PSY 25867) and a full member of the American Psychological Association.

Doctorate in Clinical Psychology

I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute, Berkeley, a graduate school that is fully accredited by the U.S. Department
of Education (WASC) and the American Psychological Association.

Pre-Doctoral Internship & Post-Doctoral Residency

At the Department of Psychiatry at CPMC Sutter Health, one of California's largest and most prestigious hospitals, I completed both my pre-doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency. During my residency in the Department of Psychiatry, I held the position of Chief Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow.

Corporate Career

Prior to beginning my clinical training later in life, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and worked for over 20 years across a variety of managerial and executive roles for a Fortune 500 corporation based out of the Silicon Valley.

Global Experience

During this period, I traveled extensively around the world, which gave me a deep
appreciation and respect for other cultures that I find to be extremely informative in my clinical practice.
