    About Me:

    Hi, I'm Melissa and I have over a decade of experience in trauma-informed psychedelic integration. I'm a licensed clinician in Indiana, and am trained in evidence based strategies to improve coping with anxiety/depressions/trauma (EMDR, parts work, somatic strategies). I am most know for my work helping adults recover from childhood abuse.

    I also have a background and academic publications in religous and spiritual coping and specialize in helping others create "altered spaces" that facilitate healing and recovery from religous trauma.

    I have experience and training for assisting with psychedelic integration from a mix of clinical and indigenous settings. I healed my own PTSD symptoms with plant medicines, and have worked with teachers from the Andes and Jungles of Peru. I have a research background, and am well versed in clinical research protocols for preparation/harm-reduction, containment, and integration strategies to optimize psychedelic experiences.

    Description of Services:

    I provide in-person or virtual sessions for adults.

    I work alongside individuals and communities who have been pushed to the margins by systemic inequities. Approaching this work from a feminist and decolonizing perspective means I don’t believe in 'saving' anyone. Instead, I believe in honoring ancestral wisdom, disrupting institutional harm, and walking with people as they reclaim their inherent power and sovereignty.

    Credentials & Certifications: Licensed Clinical Social Worker
    Licenses: Licenced in Indiana, license #33007629A

  • My Process

    Overview of Experience:

    Feel like no one will love you like you love them? Swing between feeling guilty to feeling resentful? Want to grow and change but feel like the barriers are too big? Want to use psychedelics with additional evidence based strategies to heal a pattern like this? Then you are my ideal client.

    I'll help you prepare by honing intention setting and screening to make sure you are safe, assessing set and setting, and teaching strategies to help you optimize your medicine experience. After your medicine experience we will engage in evidence based strategies to maximize your integration process.

    Intake Process:

    Feel free to email or phone for a complementary consultation. I provide in-person and virtual consultation. I will provide links to an online intake form (on my secure Electronic Health platform) to screen for trauma history, medical history, current medications, current symptoms, and consent forms to coordinate your care.
