Hillary McBride, PhD, is a Registered Psychologist, researcher, podcastor, and author, but underneath all of that she is a human, who loves asking questions about what it means to be human, how we heal and grow, and what it means to be a body.  She publishes written works for community and academic audiences about embodiment, trauma, eating disorders, perinatal mental health, and mental health and spirituality; her bestselling book The Wisdom Of Your Body was released in 2021, and her next book, Practices for Embodied Living will be released in 2024. Her award winning CBC podcast Other People's Problems was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times as essential listening, and she is the co-developer of Katalyst Mental Health Ketamine Assisted Therapy program. What makes her feel alive is her daughter's laugh, her love for her partner and close friends, asking unanswerable questions, and spending time in or near the ocean.

Hi! I specialize in the art and science of Generatology. Generatology is the study of moral innovation and generative capacities that exist within all complex adaptive systems (CAS).  Humans are CASs. Couples, families, teams, organizations are all CASs. We all have a deep, raw and emergent capacity towards self-organization, moral innovation and re-invention. But if we don't use it, or even know that this generative intelligence is alive within us, we lose it.

I have spent my whole life studying this bone level approach to transformation and re-invention, to the point of doing my doctoral research on this topic. Why?
Because I personally experienced decades of PROFOUND, suffocating, life-threatening stuckness in many areas of my life. So being this ensnared, required a level of out of the box retooling of my entire being, that is unheard of in today's world. If I had not put so much heart and soul attention to this field of study, I definitely would not be alive today. Learning this specialty of bone level transformation has been as important to me as breathe.
My education includes a master's in psychology and doctoral research in the field of Creative Emergence. It also spans to include instructor and masters level certification in Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), along with training and certification in Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), Intensive Trauma Response Therapy (ITR), Tension and Stress Releasing Exercises (TRE), Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Somatic Experiencing (SE), PULSE Mediation, Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), BodyWay(c) Coaching, Leadership and Team Development, Strategic Business Management, Eating Disorder treatment and more.

Daniel (SEP) works with developmental trauma, attachment trauma, and Complex PTSD through a somatic and relational lens. Over 9 years of working with various psychedelic medicines emphasized to him the necessity of integrating the body and the therapeutic relationship to effectively resolve complex trauma.



His passion for PSIP is fueled by his own depth of healing he received within this model. During his training, he experienced a profound reparative experience around an early attachment wound he was unable to access despite previous psychedelic retreats and years of somatic therapy. This led him to fundamentally shift his private practice and understanding of trauma resolution.

Daniel offers in-person and online sessions in Los Angeles and has started his PSI Instructor training.

Therapy was not my first career. I began as a student of creative writing (poetry) and literature, and taught literature and writing as a grad student. However, I found my home in clinical social work— work which taps into my understanding of the role of the creative imagination in representing emotional experience through narrative and imagery.

I’ve had more than 18 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples and groups. In addition to my training with the Psychedelic Somatic Institute, I bring experience and training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Dance Movement Therapy, and the Adult Attachment Interview. My work is relational, client-centered, somatically and affectively focused. I aim to “show up” as a person in my own right, since I believe psychotherapy is an activity between two people, working together.

I have been on the hunt for a therapy model that has the power to match a person's desired level of healing. My background includes psychodynamic and somatic therapies which are essential elements to this model.

I've experienced firstly myself the healing power of this model, having completed hundreds of sessions as the client.

I have lived in Colorado for 10 years and started my private practice three years ago after 10 years in clinics and group practice settings.

Dr. Matt McClanahan is an osteopathic physician doubly boarded in Family Medicine & Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, w/ a masters in exercise physiology. In 2018 he founded the Center for Insight Medicine, which takes a neuroscience approach to the Dx & Tx of chronic pain, functional disorders, central sensitivity syndromes, & medically unexplained Sx. Many times, when Sx persist despite testing & Tx, it's because neuroplastic changes in the brain are amplifying, perpetuating, or causing them by a persistent threat/danger response in the brain & autonomic nervous system, often due to unresolved stress & trauma in our past & present. This is the primary target in the work of recovery through PSIP and these neural circuits can be reversed. Dr. Matt is experienced with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy (EAET), & Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), in addition to usual biomedical interpretation and pharmacotherapeutics.

I'm a Licensed Physiotherapist and Psychotherapist working in private practice and as a traumatherapist at WONSA (World Of No Sexual Abuse), in Stockholm, Sweden.

My ground level education to become a Psychotherapist was in Transpersonal Psychology and I’m also a Trained AEDP-therapist. I’ve been working in the bodymind field for 25 years.

My own most significant trauma was when I was born prematurely with c-section. I had been able to some degree to contact that Trauma before PSIP, but never to fully experience it and embody that part of me before. I love this method for finally letting me bring home this precious part of me, previously hidden in dissociation.

I have worked as a psychologist, marriage and family therapist, Rolfing bodyworker, therapeutic dreamworker, author, and mentor. I have utilized psychedelics for my own therapy and with others for over 30 years.

As an integrative somatic psychotherapist, I believe that the body and mind are deeply interconnected and that our experiences are imprinted in the nervous system. I provide a safe and supportive space where we can explore these experiences through the body, feelings and relationships.

I have been active in the field of psychology, therapy and group facilitation for over 15 years.
I  have been lucky enough to be able to work independently as well as to contribute to teams of a trauma clinic and a luxury rehab.

You may choose to see me because events of the past have affected your relationship with yourself and the world, or because your current life is triggering difficult emotional reactions that pose interpersonal or professional challenges, or simply because you want to improve your well-being and get more out of life than you are currently doing. 

I offer PSIP sessions both in person and online, in English, Italian and Russian.

As a yoga therapist, psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner- I work with people as multidimensional beings to support liberation as a practice of unraveling our conditioning.

I combine Somatic Experiencing with breathwork to build a bridge between the subconscious and conscious mind - the implicit and the explicit - allowing longstanding patterns to emerge and be supported, held and felt in a new way - in relationship with the loving witness and the vast web of relations.

I use PSIP grounded in my somatic training with the intention of feeling our conditioning but this time with kind eyes. The renegotiation is relational and the work is to go into the conditioning with a loving witness and the felt experience that this time you are not alone.

Since I was young, I have always had a natural gift for sitting with people who were hurting. I was the one who all my friends would come to when they were in pain or experiencing difficulties in their lives. It was a natural progression for me to enter the field of psychotherapy where I have practiced for the past 15 years. 

I have an ability to navigate right to the heart your pain, helping you feel understood and validated. My role is that of a gentle guide, exploring past and present circumstances and negative messaging that you may have received from the various “helpers” in your life. Together, we can identify where you have accepted the message “I am not OK” in its myriad forms. In the process of therapy, we will bridge the gap between that authentic and beautiful self you have always been, and the one who is so much pain today.

I'm someone who did years of Insight meditation retreats and yoga, and while very grateful for everything I received, I still found that something was missing. Then after studying and receiving psychotherapy for another long fruitful stint, a friend introduced me to plant medicines and I've been gratefully engaged ever since.

The therapy I studied was a somatic based one, so when I saw the PSIP training, it made a lot of sense to look into combining two loves of my work life, psychotherapy and plant medicines. Saj is a very insightful, fun, transparent and compassionate teacher and it's a delight to now share what he has made his life's work. Personally, the deeper understand of dissociative states that's come from receiving this work has helped free up a very old pattern from childhood that I'd forgotten even happened. Please be in touch if you'd like to know more.

Hey! Thanks for checking me out.

I was inspired to become a therapist while sorting out my own life woes; I know what it is like to be on the struggle bus. In return, I’ve built a high impact and empowering career in addition to founding a nonprofit, Soul Centric Counseling.

A few identities are Black, queer and female. In addition to using knowledge gained over many years of studying human development, I utilize my intuition, lived experience and guidance from benevolent beings.

My work is mostly with people who live in BIPOC & LGBTQ+ bodies and spaces, disabled bodies and people who were raised in traumatic environments. Nearly all have experienced abuse, neglect and/or chronic misattunement.

I work with folx and psychedelic medicines using PSIP or transpersonal approaches and draw primarily from AEDP and IFS in order to support preparation and integration.

TL;DR: If life has been inequitable, unfulfilling and a struggle for longer than you can remember, let’s work together!

I warmly welcome you to come and get to know your inner system in the safety of relationship with me.  When we get chronically stuck, safe enough relationship is needed to lean into so we can finally get out of our freeze.  I love weaving together the healing modalities that I have grown in to support your healing.  I am a relational therapist, a somatic experiencing practitioner, I am training in IFS LEVEL 1 (2024), I am certified in MAPS for MDMA, trained to work with Ketamine by the Ketamine Training Center and Polaris Insight.  I'm a mom of 3 children. I co-own Guide MindBody Therapy practice with my husband /trauma therapist, APRN, and an MD. We love working together to provide holistic care. I have found PSI to be an essential modality that I use for myself & my clientele in regular sessions and also in psychedelic therapy.  It has helped me in ways no other modality has and I am extremely thankful for Saj and Robin and the team for teaching me & helping me heal in the process.

As the saying goes, "No one comes out of childhood unscathed."  We could expand this to say that no one comes out of adolescence, or adulthood, or life in general unscathed.  We all experience negative events in life, and whether they are big or small, often, they continue to affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, long after the event has passed.  Some experiences are readily available to us in normal consciousness, and can be worked on through various therapy models.  Others are not as available, and are more difficult to access through traditional therapy, causing feelings of frustration, as well as feeling stuck. 

Both as a therapist and a client, I have experienced the gift of psychedelics.  I have been a therapist for over 15 years, working with a wide variety of clients and issues.  While this is not the only type of therapy I provide, this model has been particularly impressive in getting myself and others unstuck, in order to experience deep healing.

“Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand already quite near its transformation”

-Rainer Maria Rilke

I believe that it is through connection that we heal ourselves and our planet.  I work with tools and modalities that increase connection, including person-centered therapy, Rites of Passage Death Lodge, Psychedelic assisted therapy, and IFS. I find that Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP) is particularly effective at building connection and helping the mind step out of the driver’s seat so that the body can respond and heal.

PSIP - Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy

​

I believe that the body’s experience of finding safety in the moment by moment unfolding of a therapeutic relationship is an essential aspect of healing, that therapy is a collaborative process between the patient and therapist and that at its core, psychotherapy is about learning to live more fully and creatively.

Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, when properly and carefully used, can amplify and deepen this process of the body finding its way to safety, creativity and connection.  

PSIP is an extraordinary way to take this journey inward and outward.  It is a powerful model which activates the innate wisdom to heal residing in every body.

For over twenty five years; I have been working with and supporting others in various capacities.  Each of the varied work, education and life opportunities have shaped me as a person, expanded my knowledge and perspective, and also initiated my own healing journey.  Over the years, I have been lucky enough to participate in, train/work with, and learn from many different teachers and practices
