Scott Menasco, Ph.D., LMFT

At the heart of my work is my lived experience of transformation. I believe that the planet is calling us all to understand ourselves differently, to open ourselves to depths that collectively we may have undervalued. I am a scholar-practitioner, meaning that I have dedicated my life to the study and practice of transformational psychology.

In 2013, I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (License #111342) and Arizona (License LMFT-15942). Additionally, I completed my doctorate in Transformative Studies. My research focused on the intersection of Buddhist philosophy and the field of mental health.

I began working with clients in 2012. Since then I have worked with adults, children, families, and couples. My first two years as a therapist were spent training at the former Bay Area Affiliate of the John Bradshaw Center where I completed their Foundations in Clinical Mastery training program. I have extensive training and experience in treating addiction, codependency, depression, anxiety, recovery from shame, trauma, child/adolescent behavioral issues, and relationship conflict.

Additionally, I have received training in a variety of evidenced-based approaches (e.g. CBT, ACT), art therapy, play therapy, sandplay, iRest guided meditation, and have trained extensively in nondual approaches to psychology through Timeless Wisdom.

Do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions about me, or my experience.
