Scott Jenea Traylor is a licensed social worker, mental health advocate, and current Impact Counselor for Denton ISD, where she supports high school students through crisis intervention, emotional regulation, and long-term emotional wellness strategies. With over a decade of experience in education and youth mental health, Scott brings a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens to every student, classroom, and conversation she enters.

Her work directly inspired the tools she’s created through Learning with Scott—resources designed to help adolescent students navigate the highs, lows, and every emotion in between. These tools reflect the real needs she sees daily: equipping young people with techniques to regulate emotions, affirm their self-worth, and build lasting resilience.

Outside the counseling office, Scott shows up as a speaker, trainer, and community advocate, leading workshops, professional development sessions, and conversations that help parents, educators, and youth-serving organizations better support the emotional health of young people. Whether she’s mentoring one-on-one or standing in front of a crowd, Scott’s mission remains the same: to help every child feel safe, seen, and empowered to thrive.
