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.

Alyssa Nelson | Minnesota
Licensed mental health provider: Yes
Type of License: LICSW
PSIP certification: Level 1 Certificate of Completion
Who we are is forged in the context of our earliest attachment relationships. Within these relationships we can be wounded, and develop unhelpful patterns and habits that we tend to repeat; the familiarity of these old patterns can feel comforting in some ways, even as they simultaneously cause discomfort and dysfunction in our lives. Therapy can provide an opportunity to heal and grow in the context of a healthy relationship, where the past and present can be explored to gain insight and help us break free of the habits keeping us stuck.
My approach to therapy is informed by the psychoanalytic perspective, which means a focus is placed on increasing self-understanding, deepening awareness of emotions, and identifying themes. Together we will explore your past and present, and we’ll be curious about your thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, fears, and conflicts to try and make meaning of them. The goal is for you to feel better and live your life more fully and freely.

In the desert of the heart
Let the healing fountain start - W.H Auden
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.

My approach to therapy includes traditional cognitive behavioral therapies blended with somatic and shamanic healing. As a practitioner, I believe in walking with my clients as they become responsible for the creation of their experience. This is not a simple task and takes significant effort as this path requires the mastery of your impulses, emotions, and body. Please note that for some protocols, insurance does not currently reimburse. I also require consultation for some of the more intensive methodologies as they require certain foundational elements in your life to be established before engaging in them otherwise the benefit will be null.

A life long interest in the source of human suffering has been my personal journey. I have been a life-long meditator, starting a practice at the age of 12. This path has led me down both psychological as well as, spiritual developmental frameworks. I began working with expanded states of consciousness through plant medicines in 2009. The natural progression led me to supporting individuals on this path of self-exploration and self-realization. My encounter with PSI and its framework has provided further assistance in working with the human psyche and guiding people along their paths of healing and liberation. I have also completed training in Hakomi Therapy as well as, training in Ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Prior to making this work my focus, my career was as a physician/surgeon for 30 years.
