    Omg that’s the best feeling fr fr. It’s so hard to be a social human adult woman (platonically).

    So proud for you!

    Tell me more about this therapy you’ve finished training for. What led you to it? I assume you have like medical credentials of some variety?

    (I’m a science communicator, so don’t feel weird telling me things, I’ll ask for clarification if I don’t understand something! Please info dump.)

      Haha, nice.

      Yes, I’m a licensed clinical social worker, and I work as a psychotherapist in my private practice. I have seen some my clients go through IV ketamine infusions with great results, and I have heard many success stories from colleagues who do ketamine-assisted therapy.

      There is just something amazing about psychedelics. They seem to encourage neuroplasticity in a way we are just beginning to understand. People have incredible experiences and don’t need therapy anymore (at least not in the way they would have without the psychedelics).

      So, I am very interested in providing ketamine-assisted therapy. I think psychedelics are the future of my profession, at least for a large portion of it.
