Scott Fletcher, LMFT
I am a firm believer that people possess incredible strengths and resources and that it is my job as a therapist to advocate for individuals and families and to help them creatively explore, access and develop these natural talents. I approach therapy from a person-centered perspective with an emphasis on social justice, values, respect, creativity and client agency.
I assume that each person is the expert when it comes to their experience and my role is to help them gain insight into their own thoughts, feelings, desires, behaviors and goals. I take the role of experienced guide, pointing out things that might be helpful in achieving your goals, instead of the directive expert teacher who tells you what you ought to be doing.
I use a blend of Internal Family Systems and mindfulness-based therapy together with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as my approach to healing. Sessions will be in the comfort of my therapy space in SE Portland. Please contact me if you are interested in seeing if Ketamine therapy might be right for you.
The experience that I had at the PRATI Foundations of Psychedelic Research Training at Sunrise Ranch was one of the most profound experiences of my life, both on a personal and professional level. The community and connection that PRATI fosters plays such a vital role in healing. We cannot do this alone and community, nature and spirituality give us the foundation from where growth is possible.
