LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER (LCSW) Doctor of Social Work (DSW)

Clinical Hourly Rate $200/hr

I’m a clinician who strongly believes in the power of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to heal the mind, body, & spirit. I’ve seen these medicines help many clients.

Currently, I focus on using Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which can catalyze the discovery of deep emotions, thoughts, & experiences. KAP sessions can create profound opportunities for growth. Sometimes KAP is like compressing years of therapy in just a few hours.

Having a therapist’s support throughout a psychedelic process is crucial. I work hard to construct a robust treatment relationship to make your journeys meaningful & safe.

I want to create an individualized plan that works for you, so let’s discuss your hopes, wants, & needs. A psychedelic experience is very personal, & I’m here to help you explore what’s possible with KAP.

I have 25+ years of clinical experience helping people cope with a wide variety of psychological challenges, such as mood disorders, trauma, grief, addiction, & personality disorders. I earned my Master’s & Doctor of Clinical Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, & am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies through the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Rate Breakdown

The Ko-Op is a cooperative of clinicians, and each practitioner has their own fee structure, method and practice with the medicine. To discover what’s possible for your treatment it is best to schedule a free consultation with the therapist with whom you’re interested in working. This information is meant to serve as a guide to help you begin to envision treatment and fee structures.

On each of the therapists’ bios appears an hourly fee. To estimate the costs of treatment you can multiply that fee by the number of hours outlined in the treatment options listed below.
The Ko-Op does not offer set packages and does not prescribe a general number of sessions, instead you will collaborate with your therapist to develop a treatment protocol aligned with your needs and goals.
Please note, many people do a variation of these treatment offerings over the course of their healing journey:

• 3hour in person Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Session: You work with the therapist in person at the Ko-Op (1625 South Street).

• 1-3 hour Virtual Ketamine Session: You and your therapist decide what length of time you will meet online as part of your medicine session, and you’re only billed for that time.
• At home medicine and the support of an individual therapist: You administer the medicine at home, on your own, in safe setting, and then meet with your therapist (in person or virtually) for Integration Sessions (50 min processing sessions) 1-4 times a month.
• At home medicine and the support of the Integration Group: You administer your medicine at home, on your own, in a safe setting, and then attend a biweekly virtual Psychedelic Psychotherapy processing group led by a therapist. .
