Joel Klahr, MD

I am a medical psychiatrist trained at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, with more than six years of clinical experience in psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. My training combines the rigor of Western medicine with a deep understanding of unconscious processes and the more subtle dimensions of human experience. Education and Professional Background I completed my specialization in Psychiatry at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana at Bogota, Colombia (2016–2019) and my psychoanalytic training at the Freudian Psychoanalytic Society of Colombia (2020–2024). I am currently completing certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (2025-2026). From 2019 to 2024, I was part of the clinical team at the Center for Memory and Cognition (Intellectus) at Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (Bogota, Colombia), where I worked in neuropsychiatry, home-based psychogeriatric care, and group psychotherapy. I have also complemented my training with international clinical rotations at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute of McGill University (Montreal) and at Western University (Ontario), with a focus on acute psychosis, dual diagnosis, and psychiatric intensive care.
