Ella Gray

A 2022 welcome

If you live with trauma, I offer you my deepest respect and warmest regards

I am a psychedelic assisted therapist and participatory researcher, in private practice of over four discreet decades. I excel at being along side folks who live in/with extreme distress. When the chaos of trauma and accumulated stress fractures continue to devastate life, relationships and livelihood; when talking for insight is no longer enough, consider psychedelic assisted integrative treatment with me

Important values:

• I work ‘content-free’ meaning, you don’t have to tell me your trauma story, you don’t have to develop therapeutic rapport with me, or provide a detailed medical history - I offer the opportunity to heal in deep privacy and dignity, protecting boundaries and preserving relationships. Often, the roots of suicide are pre-verbal, experiences with no language, and being expected to narrate such a past is impossible and counter productive. I focus on your health and wellness right now - stopping the catastrophic losses now. Practical, accessible, measurable harm reduction

• I work with altered states of consciousness meaning, my essential skills are to triage and calibrate. Some wounds are worse, some pain is more lethal, some vulnerability is too deep - often, denial has been the only pain relief available. Learn how to better manage breakthrough pain in recovery, and learn how to benefit from soft, rhythmic surges of brain-derived neurotrophic factor - all the regeneration you can tolerate, with zero overwhelm. Search for and recover, and revalue the insights that have kept you surviving.
