The Rev. Scott Alexander Fleming, LMHC
Pastoral Clinician, Educator, and Consultant
Scott is an ordained minister, licensed mental health counselor, and chaplain who has spent nearly twenty years walking alongside people in times of hope, loss, and healing. He currently serves as Spiritual Care Manager at Orlando Health, where he supports patients, families, and staff in some of life’s most critical moments. Over the years, his ministry has taken him into community hospitals, trauma centers, institutions of higher learning, congregations, and private practice.
Scott’s calling to ministry and counseling grew out of his own story. Raised in Central Florida, he experienced trauma as a child and watched close family members—many of them first responders, military, and clergy—struggle with the weight of mental health challenges. These early experiences gave him a deep compassion for people carrying heavy burdens and a special heart for those who serve on the front lines of care and community.
Believing that healing happens in the context of meaningful relationships, Scott counsels from a relational perspective. He sees the counseling relationship as sacred—a partnership in which both counselor and client are committed to the process of growth. His goal is to help people discover resilience, gain new insight, and strengthen the relationships that give life meaning.
Scott’s work as a chaplain and counselor is enriched by his training in grief care, trauma support, and clinical ethics. He also supervises and mentors new chaplains, teaching across the country in the areas of ministry, nursing, and medicine. Whether in the hospital, the classroom, or the counseling office, his focus is always the same: to create safe, sacred space where people can be honest about their struggles and open to God’s healing presence.
When he isn’t serving in these roles, Scott enjoys volunteering in his community and spending time with his wife, Melanie, and their family.
