Testimonials

"I was completely comfortable with Mikayla from the beginning. Her wealth of experience makes her a great advisor and a calming presence during treatment. She is always punctual, yet nothing is rushed. She is very helpful in reminding me to set an intention for the session, providing guidance during the session, and patiently letting me recover with as much time as I needed. I would not hesitate to seek out Mikayla’s assistance with any aspect of psychedelics and how they are meant to work. Mikayla is the voice of reason in a sea of disparate and conflicting “conventional wisdom.”

"I've worked with Mikayla over the course of four sessions, and our time together has been invaluable in providing me with new perspectives on both deeply-rooted and recent traumatic experiences in my life. As my therapist, she ensures that the space we share always feels safe, demonstrating her competence in healing the nervous system through an empathetic and respectful approach that elicits trust. Most of all, Mikayla is flexible, kind, and understanding.  When she sits with you, you feel seen, heard, accepted, and more aware of how your body is experiencing and processing trauma. I learn a lot about how my body and mind work after each session with her. I am extremely grateful for these sessions and this work, and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.

Mikayla has provided me with some of the most valuable tools I've ever had. As someone who struggles to have a healthy relationship with a certain substance, the insights discovered through working with Mikayla have provided me with liberation from my own judgment and stigma towards myself - which results in less guilt and shame, and subsequently, healthier use of my substance of choice. Mikayla offers a non-judgemental approach through the lens of true harm reduction. She is grounded and easy to connect with. I felt very seen and safe during our sessions. This service is so important and needed, I can't recommend it enough."

"I'm the parent of a teenager who was just beginning to experiment with drugs when I reached out to Mikayla. In our first call, she opened up a whole toolbox for me. She is a calm, authoritative voice of reason and offers sensible, actionable information that’s been hard-won through experience and training. With her help, I’m optimistic that I can help my son navigate his teens safely while strengthening our relationship. Working with her is one of the best things I’ve done as a parent."
