EMILY PEREIRA, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
San Francisco CA
I’m an active and engaged therapist, offering a reflective space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged. Whether we’re preparing for or integrating a psychedelic experience, or working in traditional talk therapy, I prioritize building a sense of safety and trust in the relationship. Sessions often include mindfulness and somatic awareness practices to help clients connect with their internal experience in real time. I support both long-term, exploratory work and shorter, focused engagements, depending on your needs. My role is to stay present, curious, and collaborative—helping you make contact with what matters most and move toward meaningful change.
I’m a clinical psychologist based in California with an office in San Francisco, offering psychotherapy for individuals seeking meaningful, insight-oriented change. I specialize in working with trauma, unprocessed emotions, and disconnection from feeling, often the subtle, protective ways we distance ourselves from what hurts or feels overwhelming. I’m particularly drawn to working with people who are motivated by self-discovery and interested in deep, reflective work. My training in psychedelic-assisted therapy supports this process by helping clients access inner experiences that may be difficult to reach through conventional talk therapy alone. I bring a grounded, relational presence to the work and hold space for complexity, transformation, and lasting integration.
