Brian Peacock, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Baltimore MD
I DO NOT offer psychedelic-assisted therapy. I do, however, offer therapeutic services related to psychedelics.
I work with clients who are exploring the possibility of psychedelic-assisted therapy, offering comprehensive pre-treatment evaluations to help determine whether this approach is appropriate. These evaluations include clinical interviews, personality assessments, and screening for neurological conditions and severe psychopathology. By developing a holistic picture of each client’s needs, I provide guidance on medicine selection, dosing considerations, treatment sequencing, and harm-reduction strategies. My goal is to deliver clear, personalized recommendations—whether that involves psychedelic treatment or a safer, more suitable alternative—always with an emphasis on safety and clinical soundness.
In addition to psychedelic pre-evaluations, I offer psychedelic integration therapy, regular psychotherapy, and neuropsychological testing for conditions such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders. I also offer expert testimony in legal cases involving psychedelics. Lastly, I offer consultation to other mental health providers related to any of my areas of expertise. See my website for more details.
Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Peacock, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Baltimore, Maryland. My work is grounded in a deep respect for the healing potential of psychedelic-assisted therapies and a commitment to making mental health care more innovative, thoughtful, and evidence-based.
I earned my doctorate at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, where I specialized in neuropsychological assessment and relational psychodynamic psychotherapy. During my residency at Denver Health, I gained hands-on experience with psychiatric crises and complex mental health presentations, sharpening my skills in high-acuity care.
My dissertation focused on the clinical applications of psychedelic medicines. I conducted an extensive literature review—drawing on over 1,100 sources—to examine eight different psychedelics and their therapeutic uses. This work culminated in a framework for psychedelic treatment planning that integrates foundational science with practical application.
While I do not provide psychedelic-assisted therapy, I offer psychedelic integration therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy pre-evaluations (safety/eligibility, medicine choice, alternative therapies, etc.). I’m passionate about bridging the gap between psychedelic science and clinical practice—and about expanding safe, informed access to these emerging therapies.
