About Our Guest:
Anne is a psychedelic therapist who came into the profession after working as a community-based mental health care provider. She found that a lot of her clients were struggling to get the results they wanted from traditional therapy and wanted to find new ways to support them. She found out about psychedelics from Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind, which led her to seek out training on plant-medicine-based treatments. She is a Southern New Hampshire University faculty member and holds licenses to practice counseling in multiple states.
Anne's passion for therapeutic uses of psychedelics and her commitment to social reform have led to groundbreaking research and significant policy changes. When not working, she’s exploring the great outdoors in her current home of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
