The Team
Maintaining consistency and prioritizing client safety is why we've brought our guides on board as employees. Working as a small cohesive team allows us open communication and support, while upholding our respective client’s privacy.
Scott Holden
I was born and raised in the Portland area, I have 5 children and an amazing wife. I love to spend time with my family and travel. I am a curious person and love to learn. While I am still a work in progress, I am much happier now than I was throughout a good portion of my life. I had expectations of myself that were hard to meet and harder to maintain. I became anxious and depressed. I lost sight of what was truly important to me and was generally unhappy. After years of coping mechanisms that led me to treat myself, my body, my friends, and my family poorly, I knew I needed a change. However, after years of coping mechanisms and pharmaceuticals I saw no clear path to the happiness I longed for. It’s strange how logically we can walk through all the things we should be doing to improve our lives and our relationships, but for some reason these things rarely stick.
When I found psychedelics, I found a path. In a therapeutic setting, I was able take those logical steps and feel them in my chest. They became who I am. What I found was love for myself, compassion and understanding for others and a desire to be a better, more loving person. With a newfound love for myself, I started treating my body like it was a part of me. I now exercise daily (something that I loathed), I rarely drink (which I loved) and am a better father and husband. What I am most excited about? I get to set an example of how to overcome unhappiness and be at peace for my children.
I do not know how psilocybin will find you. I am only an example of what some reading, reflecting, and thoughtful psilocybin work can accomplish. I am excited to share my story and hope it inspires you to step on the path towards happiness.
Founder - Facilitator
Alexis Mollomo
Client Care Coordinator - Facilitator
I have worked as an advocate and caregiver to the disabled and people at the end-of-life for the last 11 years. In that time, I’ve seen so many people suffer endlessly, needing solutions that never appear.
Believing that unpacking our consciousness opens up our aperture on how we view ourselves and our connection to the natural world, I believe psilocybin administered in a safe environment can be a fast track to relief. I’ve experienced first hand the healing power of mind manifesting drugs in regards to anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, chronic apathy, depression, and solace from chronic illness.
I'm a state certified psilocybin facilitator, have an MFA from UW-Madison, and when I’m not managing the office at Mindtrek, you can find me practicing gyrotonics or in the studio, painting.
Emily Reid
Facilitator
As a native Oregonian, I am very grateful we are the first state to provide psilocybin services to the public. For many years, I have seen the value psilocybin has with the healing of addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, trauma and more. Psilocybin can be a great tool to help with forward momentum in life and can be valuable if ones curious about opening up to new perspectives.
I completed my facilitator training with Clinical Cognitive and am a licensed facilitator with the state. I am very excited for this journey. My role as a facilitator is to hold space in a compassionate, non-judgmental, non-directive environment.
I am a mother to four fabulous children and a wife to a wonderful Veteran. I love finding time to be in nature, bake yummy treats, play and listen to music with my family and friends.
Laurissa Bocci
Facilitator
My background is in end-of-life care, helping people to die peacefully in their own homes. For years I watched my clients and their loved ones struggle to process existential fear and depression. I was initially drawn to psilocybin therapy because of its ability to decrease end-of-life anxiety. My goal is to support those seeking emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness at any stage of life.
Developing meaningful relationships is central to everything I do both personally and professionally. Introverted and highly empathetic, I feel a special kinship with those who struggle with anxiety and depression. Passionate about the health of individuals, communities, and our planet as a whole, I see great potential in psilocybin to help us live more consciously.
I value honesty, compassion, and non-judgment. My hobbies include meditation, yoga, and dance. I am happily married to a loving partner. We live in the Portland area with our two dogs.
Ashleigh Lee
Facilitator
As an active member and supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community, my particular focus has been on empowering/supporting trans young adults. Portland has been a stronghold for this network and I’m happy to be working at MINDTREK, where we welcome all clients and their respective values. I’ve spent years in counseling settings to help others working to overcome PTSD, depression, anxiety, abuse, and other trauma.
I am a dedicated animal lover with my three cats, reptiles, and fish tanks. I enjoy cooking all sorts of cuisine, foraging in our beautiful forests, creating artwork, yoga, travel, and am a voracious reader. I live in the Portland area with my partner and our menagerie.
As an advocate for psilocybin therapy and its healing properties of the mind and consciousness, I look forward to facilitating my clients- providing a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental environment. I’m so very excited to be at the forefront of psilocybin treatment in Oregon!
