About Me:Hey there, my names Grayson. I am a passionate and compassionate guide in the realm of psychedelic integration and mental health. I’m a graduate of the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I completed a rigorous three-year master’s degree in Integral Counseling Psychology. During my time at CIIS, I had the privilege of learning from some of the most eminent professionals in the field of psychedelic therapy and integration. This profound training, combined with years of experience supporting others through their healing journeys, has shaped my practice into a space of safety, growth, and transformation.
As the owner of Saltwater Souls Counseling, my private practice, I specialize in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or the intricacies of self-discovery, my mission is to help you connect deeply with your inner wisdom, build resilience, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Rooted in a commitment to holistic care, my approach integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness practices, drawing upon my own experiences as a Vipassana meditation practitioner. My values center around respect, inclusivity, and a deep belief in the transformative potential of intentional psychedelic work when done responsibly and with care.
As a former Division I athlete, I understand the importance of perseverance, discipline, and balancing physical and mental wellness. My years of intentional use of psychedelics, coupled with my professional training, have allowed me to support others in exploring and integrating these experiences in a way that promotes meaningful and lasting change.
At Saltwater Souls Counseling, I aim to provide a warm and inviting environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to navigate your journey with strength and clarity. Whether you’re just beginning to explore or seeking deeper integration, I’m here to help you sail through life’s challenges—anchored in support and guided by your inner compass.

Overview of Experience:At Saltwater Souls Counseling, I believe that preparation and integration are vital to ensuring safe, meaningful, and transformative psychedelic experiences. My approach is holistic yet evidence-based, rooted in creating a space where you feel supported every step of the way.
Preparation begins with three tailored sessions designed to help you enter your experience with clarity, intention, and safety. These sessions focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, exploring your goals, and understanding the potential challenges and insights that may arise. Together, we’ll craft a personalized framework that supports you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, preparing you to engage with the experience in a way that aligns with your needs and intentions.
During the experience itself, you are encouraged to engage with your inner journey fully, while being equipped with the tools and awareness cultivated in our preparation work. While I do not directly administer substances, I provide the groundwork for a safe and intentional approach, whether in a clinical setting or another context.
Integration is where lasting transformation takes root. After the experience, we engage in three follow-up sessions to process the insights and emotions that have emerged. These sessions are designed to help you make sense of your journey, integrating its lessons into your daily life in practical, meaningful ways. We’ll focus on cultivating resilience, solidifying personal growth, and exploring how your experience can guide you toward a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
Whether you're seeking healing, self-discovery, or clarity, this structured process provides a safe container for exploration and growth. At Saltwater Souls Counseling, you are invited to navigate your journey with the support and care needed to create lasting change. Let’s embark on this transformative path together.
Intake Process:At Saltwater Souls Counseling, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment from the very beginning. The intake process is designed to ensure that we’re the right fit for your needs and goals, while setting the foundation for meaningful and transformative work together.
The process begins with a free 30-minute virtual consultation, where we’ll have the chance to briefly explore what you’re bringing in—your history, what you’re hoping to accomplish, and the unique challenges or questions you’d like to address. This is also an opportunity for you to get a feel for me, as I get a feel for you, so we can determine if working together aligns with your needs and intentions.
If we decide to move forward, the next step involves completing intake forms, which include a psychological assessment, medical history, and consent forms to ensure a thorough understanding of your background and readiness for this process. This step is crucial in tailoring our approach to your specific circumstances, offering you the safest and most effective support.
Once the intake process is complete, we’ll begin the preparation sessions to guide you into the next phase of your journey. For those interested in microdosing protocols, I offer a separate, structured process specifically tailored to microdosing, designed to help you maximize its benefits safely and intentionally.
I understand that every individual’s path is unique, and this intake process reflects my commitment to providing care that is both holistic and personalized. If you’re curious to learn more or want to discuss your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
