Scott Fairhurst, PhD
Fellow, IPT Institute

Scott Fairhurst, Ph.D., is the Vice President of Training, Outcomes & Evaluation, and Business Analytics at Pacific Clinics, the largest Community Behavioral Health agency in California. His focus is on making it easier for clinicians and clients to see the impact of their work, including which activities are most likely to help and what impacts we are most likely to see. This transparent sharing of the process is what first drew him to IPT; the notion that a case conceptualization includes how the client sees their own goals, needs, network, strengths, and improvements. In his role at Pacific Clinics (Los Angeles), the combination of outcomes monitoring and best practices training allows him to influence the agency’s culture in this same way. Scott earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston in 1994.
