Peer Consultation Services
Peer consultation is for practitioners (facilitators, psychotherapists, and healthcare providers) who are seeking expert consultation on trauma and/or psychedelics as they are handling difficult dilemmas with their clients. They may be also seeking professional guidance as they fine tune their focus to include trauma-informed and psychedelic-informed care into their practice.

Clinicians who consult with me seek to evolve their practice to include psychedelic and/or trauma-informed knowledge with their client care. They are open to being challenged with critical thinking, engage in honest self-inquiry, are willing to read or research outside of the consultation session, and practice the tools and processes specific to psychedelic-assisted therapy as a “field internship” within their existing practices.
I live for supporting clinicians in taking what they already know and transposing that knowledge in new areas. The consultees I work with:
You are already an experienced psychotherapist, but wish to become psychedelic-informed in your practice. We will identify strengths and identify where you can grow and deepen your clinical practice and start to practice the skills needed in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Your are already an experienced facilitator, but wish to become more trauma-informed in your facilitation of other’s experiences. We will ensure that you know the nose-to-tail aspects of trauma-informed care of others.
Topics that might be addressed in peer consultation services
“My client is asking questions about whether to microdose or go to Peru (or anywhere) to work with a shaman but I don’t even know how to best support them in assessing and reducing risk or guide them in the process of selecting a safe place to work with a psychedelic – a retreat center or with a facilitator or substance that will be safe for them, given their trauma history.”
“My client is engaging in psychedelic usage 3-4 times a month with a facilitator that says that he/she will be in “trouble” if they don’t continue with them.”
“My client is interested in microdosing.”
“My client said they were touched inappropriately by a facilitator.”
“My client was said their facilitator did a ‘healing’ with them but feels severely depressed and now more hopeless.”
“My client had a mystical experience and wants to sell everything they have and move to South America.”
“My client is considering using one of the mail-order Ketamine service. Is that safe?”
“My client froze, thought I was the perpetrator of their trauma and became highly distressed, and I didn’t know what to do.”

Talk to her during her office hours.
Most clients who might seek your psychological services following a psychedelic encounter have had an adverse or challenging experience. To support clinicians and facilitators in being psychedelically-informed and trauma-informed so that they can best serve these clients, I cover a range of topics—psychoeducation, ethics, consent, self-advocacy, preparation, integration, and more.
