    About Me:

    Dr. B is a holistic addiction psychologist with over 15 years of experience working at many of the top residential treatment centers around the world.  He specializes in working with dual-diagnosis individuals who struggle with some combination of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. He is passionate about researching and exploring consciousness, the power of the mind-body relationship, and how to tune into and activate our self-healing potential. He has spent the last 20 years researching the healing potentials of plant medicines, and has been fortunate to participate in many indigenous healing ceremonies with master healers/shamans from North and South America.  He also loves traveling and exploring other cultures, their belief systems, and ways of being. He has traveled to 106 countries so far and plans on visiting all of them before his time is up!

    Description of Services:

    Dr. B provides microdosing coaching services for those looking to come off of pharmaceutical medications and discover more healthy, natural ways to heal mind/body, as well as those currently struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, etc., who are looking for relief, but are worried about taking powerful pharmaceutical drugs, which they may need to take for the rest of their lives.

    Dr. B also provides psychedelic-assisted therapy with his organization The Light Chasers.  He provides MDMA assisted psychotherapy for individuals struggling with acute and chronic trauma, who have been unable to find relief from traditional therapy or pharmaceutical medications.  Through his organization The Light Chasers, he also helps facilitate macro-dose psychedelic assisted therapy sessions utilizing psilocybin, LSD and MDMD, for people struggling with addiction, depression and anxiety--who, again, have been unable to find relief from traditional therapy or pharmaceutical medications.

  • Our Process

    Overview of Experience:

    After determining whether a client is a good fit for micro-dosing/macro-dosing, or MDMD assisted psychotherapy--and whether a client is currently in therapy/coaching, or has any professional support in their lives--we will meet for 1-3 preparation sessions to discuss the client's intentions, desires, and needs. I will also educate the client about the medicine, what to expect, and how to get the most out of his/her experience. After the full day psychedelic assisted therapy session with a co-facilitator of mine who is a female master's level healer and coach, we will start the integration process the next day and have 1-3 follow up integration sessions, helping the client make sense of their experience by exploring the imagery, bodily sensations and feelings/thoughts which arose for them during their full day session. We will then work to make meaning of this new information and help to integrate it into their lives.

    Intake Process:

    With all new clients I first perform a 15-30 minute complimentary consultation call to gather preliminary information from them, as well as answer any questions they might have. It we seem to be a good fit to work with one another, I will then do a very thorough 60-90 min intake assessment (what we call a biopsychsocial history) with them. This means gathering a wealth of information from a person's past history, as well as their current functioning. I also assess if there are any medical or mental heath conditions which would prevent us from being able to do this work together. Assuming everything is ok, we would then move forward into the preparation stage of the process described above.
