Elizabeth Arnold, PhD

Dr Arnold is a visual artist and has deep experience with spiritual and alchemical dimensions of healing . She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, Teachers College, and a Masters Degree in Counseling and Consulting Psychology from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. She travels often, learning by immersing in indigenous medicine traditions (Amazonian traditions: Shipibo, Ashaninkan, A'i Cofan; Bwiti tradition, Gabon), returning to clinical practice in the Hudson Valley in NYS, integrating what is learned in the metaphysical landscapes of plant medicines back into daily life. Her development as a visual artist has been pivotal in bridging these transitions between radically different cosmologies, a medium for spiritual experiences to be given Form, integrated and communicated.
