Psychedelic Psychotherapy

Psychedelic assisted therapies are currently not legal in Australia. Nevertheless, millions of individuals use psychoactive substances and require professional support for their integration, utilizing approaches such as EMDR and IFS psychotherapy.

I provide Preparation, Integration, and Microdosing Advice for Psychedelics and Plant Medicine, alongside guiding Groups Overseas where these medicines are legal. My approach incorporates techniques from Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Psychedelic Psychotherapy.

I approach these experiences with deep reverence and respect. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I have developed effective tools to help individuals understand and anchor the insights gained from altered states of consciousness, fostering a meaningful, healthy, and balanced life.

Mima is an avid learner who is deeply committed to applying the knowledge she received from Naropa Psychedelic Psychotherapy Certificate in her future endeavors. She has shown a keen interest in the scientific knowledge of psychedelic substances, particularly in the context of psychedelic psychotherapy, including their clinical indications, contraindications, appropriate screening, and safety. This student, a registered psychotherapist, is also well positioned to draw from her vast experiences around the world, focusing on consciousness expansion and spiritual practices from diverse origins. Additionally, Mima is exploring how therapeutic modalities like EMDR, IFS psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing (SE) can complement her understanding of these substances. She could greatly benefit from finding a community of fellow clinicians in Australia who share her passion for this work and can serve as a peer supervision group.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I work and live, the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation. I recognize the significance of mental health practices such as EMDR, IFS psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing (SE) in supporting the well-being of individuals within these communities. I also honor my ancestors, including those from Portuguese, Basque, Cameroon, Congo, and Western Bantu Peoples, as well as the Indigenous People from Eastern South America, the Original Owners of the land where I was born and raised. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and I celebrate the stories, culture, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities, including those who engage in innovative approaches like Psychedelic Psychotherapy, as they work and live on this land.
