The mind, body, and soul work together to bring balance and fulfillment. I offer a deeply thoughtful and holistic approach to mental health and well-being. The emphasis is on mindfulness, spiritual exploration, and healing as powerful tools towards growth and self-discovery. I take an integrative approach to treatment that includes psychological and transpersonal experiences to support healing, growth, and inner connectedness. In this space, you are the expert of your life and I am a fellow traveler, offering my knowledge and support as we walk together on this path. My current focus is on Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT). Psychedelic therapy is an emerging field that can provide unique opportunities for transformation and personal growth. As a certified KAP and PAT provider, I have seen firsthand the healing potential of psychedelics when combined with therapy. I incorporate IFS, ACT, Hakomi, and psychedlic-friendly talk therapy when working with clients. If you are psychedelic curious, please don't hesitate to reach out. Brief consults are free, and I welcome you to this space with me.
Life CoachingMy goal is to see you achieve your dreams and maximize your full potential. Whether you need clarity or action, a custom plan is designed specifically with you in mind, aiming to identify the challenges you are facing in your life and help you achieve more balance and clarity. Coaching is different than therapy but has similarities. As a life coach, I will help you discover your unique story and create alignment with your true self. Together we will develop a path forward with your specific goals in mind.

Psychedelics/KetamineAs a certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP) and Psychedelic Assisted Therapist (PAT), my goal is to educate you on the safe and responsible use of psychedelics and to support you before, during, and after your experiences. Psychedelic medicines can create increased neuroplasticity in the brain, which offers the opportunity for emotional and spiritual healing. Preparation and integration are key in getting the results you want, and can enhance cognitive flexibilty and help create meaningful and lasting outcomes.

A b o u t B a r b a r aWelcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my site. The combination of mindfulness with psychedelic therapy can offer a powerful pathway to explore the mind, body, and soul. By creating individualized experiences, I am committed to spiritual and personal growth, and well-being. Mindfulness, with its focus on awareness, presence, and self-reflection, serves as a strong foundation for integrating the experiences gained through psychedelic therapy. By combining mindfulness with KAP/PAT, I help clients create a comprehensive toolkit to navigate non-ordinary states of consciousness. Learning to step into yourself more fully can lead to profound personal insights and a greater sense of an integrated and expanded self. This can be especially beneficial for those seeking to achieve their highest potential or improve their quality of life. Psychedelics can be a useful tool on your path inwards. There is no "one size fits all" approach to KAP/PAT. Each experience is unique. As a certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist and Psychedelic Assisted Therapist (PAT), I promote a supportive space in which to explore your inner healing abilities. While I do not provide any type of psychedelic medicine directly, I am trained in helping ensure that you are using the medicine safely and with intention. My role is harm reduction, emotional support, coaching, and integration. I can help you build your intentions around the medicine you are using and help guide/coach you before, during and after your experiences. Set and setting, as well as support and integration are key to your experiences and I am honored to be your coach and guide as we walk this path together. Currently, I am focused on my ketamine and psychedelic therapy private practice. I offer lozenge experiences in my office and IM or IV clinic treatments in Reno or Truckee, CA. My role is to provide support and guidance, and help you maximize the outcome. I also host an integration circle monthly or can offer you a variety of support resources. In Truckee, we offer group Ketamine retreat experiences, appropriate for clients or practitioners. In Reno, I am currently creating a psychedelic mentoring and training experience for practitioners, and I host a monthly therapist meet up group. Please contact me for more information. I have experience with people of all ages and backgrounds, and I enjoy working with a diverse clientele. I often incorporate resources from practitioners in the local community who offer a variety of modalities that I feel might be beneficial to your treatment. My goal is to promote a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental space to honor your highest self, explore your potential, and develop lasting results. If you have ever considered your purpose in life and are open to exploring the path forward, please contact me today to discover the possibilities. It's only when caterpillarness is done that one becomes a butterfly. That again is part of this paradox. You cannot rip away caterpillarness.

Testimonials:
I struggled with depression and PTSD for my entire life, and it seemed as though I had tried everything. My life has changed for the better since I’ve started seeing Barbara. She cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re getting the treatment they need. Barbara gives you the tools to cope so that you can help yourself through difficult times unlike therapy I’ve done in the past where the patients seem to become dependent on constant therapy. Don’t hesitate to be open and she will transform your life.
