PSI Therapist Directory

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.

This program is specifically designed to promote holistic healing by integrating Eastern and Western traditions, bringing people together to explore the connection between the mind and body through activities such as embodied play, active imagination, and meditation.

I move from the space that nothing is ever separate, that everything, EVERYTHING is connected. We are a body and embodiment is the liberatory path. I use relationship as a container to renegotiate the misattunements, the fraught experiences of our childhoods (and those of our ancestors); a space to unwind generations of colonizing beliefs; and a playground to explore new ways of being with ourselves and each other.

I am a mother, wounded healer, devotee of the breath and a weaver of interbeing. I root deep and expand wide to support the letting down from the pressured grip of dominant culture as it presents through us. I believe that slowing into the womb of the relational is the healing - being seen, felt and held so tenderly that our tissues can unwind and rest into the larger web.

The PSIP model has been revelatory on my path of awakening to my true nature as the layers of conditioning revealed themselves through the viscera to be held and transmuted on the lap of the good enough mother.

I am committed to supporting a collective remembering that we are all connected and that when you suffer, I suffer and when you heal, we all heal.

I practice in Frederick, MD and virtually.

Aurea is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker,  born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. Her passion for this work comes from her lived experience, and desire to support and guide others on their journey to wellness and healing. She began her career in the mental health field working with incarcerated women and youth. She facilitated bonding and attachment between clients and their children.

Aurea uses a person-centered approach and uses several modalities, including TF-CBT, narrative therapy, and is beginning to incorporate PSIP. Her mission is to support the community in reaching their full potential, by providing psychotherapy that addresses the root cause and heals deep wounds.

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 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
(such as Shamanic healers, plant medicines, transformational breath work, mindfulness, yoga, somatic and trans modalities). I believe that everyone has creativity, strength, wisdom, and a capacity to make their own decisions. Understanding the importance of remembering our power has been instrumental in my choice to become a therapist.

Working through my own experience with trauma, depression and anxiety; I truly understand how important it is to feel seen, heard and supported. As an immigrant, I am also familiar with the loneliness, grief, confusion and loss this transition can create within us.  In our work, my intention is to acknowledge all of the unique complexities of your experience that have contributed to the way you see yourself in this world.  I believe that it is only when we are open and willing to see and understand the truth of our past and all our parts that our path to healing can clearly appear. Creating a curious and open space for increased capacity and freedom is my greatest joy and honour.

I'm an Internal Family Systems Practitioner, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Facilitator, and Organizational Growth Consultant (MA).

I'm also a polymath, lover of learning and mother of twins.

What started as a journey into my own healing from generalized anxiety and binge-eating disorder became a longing to belong. To me. To others. To this world and life. Ultimately, to this feeling of joyful expansion that life *can* be.

From there came my wish to accompany others in healing what is hidden away in their subconscious and embracing the totality of who they are so that they can live an intentional and joyful life that expands and flows into everything they long for.

I provide a compassionate and safe space for inner exploration and healing, in which you are welcome just the way you are.

I work with those who’ve long felt out of place—carrying complex trauma, depression that doesn’t quite make sense, or the echo of being told they were “too much” or too sensitive. Many of my clients are deep feelers and quiet survivors who learned early to tuck away their truth to be loved or safe.

My approach supports you in remembering & reclaiming what’s been buried or pushed aside. We listen to the body, follow the breath, and stay close to what arises with curiosity. Healing happens when we’re met with presence.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in homeless services with individuals navigating the raw edges of reality—psychosis, suicidality, complex trauma. That work taught me that no one is too much, and that every nervous system, no matter how fragmented or guarded, is wired for connection.

I see clients in person in Los Angeles for 2-hour sessions and offer 3-day intensives in Mar Vista for those seeking immersive, accelerated healing in a contained & calm setting.
