Christie Leonard, LCSW

Psychedelic experiences can reveal what's been hidden: trauma, unconscious beliefs, patterns we've carried for years. I help you make sense of what emerged and translate those insights into real shifts in your life. As both a clinician and yoga teacher, I bring an embodied approach to this work. We use somatic practices, breathwork, and polyvagal-informed techniques alongside talk therapy. This helps your body process and release what the medicine brought up so the insights don't just stay in your mind; they become felt shifts in how you move through the world. For Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: I partner with trusted medical prescribers who handle all medical aspects. My role is the therapeutic preparation, presence during your sessions, and integration work afterward. Ketamine creates a window of neuroplasticity where your brain becomes more open to change, and we work together to use that window for lasting healing. KAP is available to established clients after we've completed 2-3 preparatory sessions together. For Psychedelic Integration: If you've had an experience with psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, or other medicines in a legal context, I offer a grounded space to process what happened. We explore the emotions, memories, and insights that surfaced using talk therapy, nervous system practices, and somatic awareness. For Preparation & Education: If you're considering a psychedelic experience, I help you understand how these medicines work, what to expect, and how to approach the journey with intention. Being prepared helps your nervous system feel safer throughout the process. Sessions are collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to what you need. We move at your pace, honoring what your nervous system needs to feel safe and supported. You're the expert on your own experience; I'm here to help you understand what it means and carry it forward in a meaningful way.
