Meet Amy
Amy Wong Hope is a psychedelic integration facilitator, educator, and author. As a clinical social worker who is highly trained in the treatment of trauma and psychedelic-assisted therapy, she supports clients in their process of preparation for and integration of transcendent and adverse experiences. She is the founder of the Psychedelics Studies Certificate Program at Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a community-based educational program to increase critical thinking and knowledge about psychedelics for healthcare practitioners and community members. She is the coauthor of Small Doses of Awareness: A Microdosing Companion (Chronicle Prism).
Small Doses of Awareness: A Microdosing Companion (Chronicle Prism, releases Feb 2024) is a guided journal for deepening your reflections and making the knowledge gained through your microdosing experiences actionable. Written by two Asian-American authors, the book invites readers to explore conditioned self-identities, perceptions, and behaviors and align authentically with one’s core intentions through action. Short personal essays introduce each week’s focus, writing prompts provoke reflection, and insight and observation pages support tracking of mood, behavior and action. This 90-day guided journal aims to challenge you in following important themes and integrating the small doses of awareness important to you.
Educational Offerings
In summer of 2023, Amy founded the Psychedelic Studies program at Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This community-based, affordable two-day weekend course is her way of educating the public about psychedelic-assisted therapy and psychedelic compounds. Psychedelics are in the mainstream, and an informed public and provider community is a safer community. The six courses are offered quarterly, earn 16 continuing education credits for psychologists, counselors, and social workers and are open to the public. Amy combines the latest research, frameworks and theories, and policies with a sensitive exploration of how Indigenous roots are part of the evolving landscape of psychedelics. She invites world-class researchers, psychotherapists, activists, policy-makers in this area, combining it with her clinical psychotherapy knowledge and experience. She challenges students to hone their critical thinking and ethical practices so that they can be in best practice with clients or others as they prepare, experience, or integrate their psychedelic encounters.
