Dr. Nicole R. Grinsell, PhD

Psychotherapist
San Francisco CA
I help people who are struggling with issues such as: anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, self-esteem, women’s health issues, and psychedelic integration. I provide therapy for clients who are seeking to prepare for a medicine experience as well as to integrate their experiences towards meaningful change in their lives. I also offer consultation for early career and graduate-level clinicians and am passionate about the transformative power of mentorship. For clients interested in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), I work collaboratively with an integrative, expert medical team to deliver personalized treatment protocols for clients interested in exploring KAP as a therapeutic tool for transformation and healing.
I am a registered psychological associate and psychotherapist providing psychotherapy, psychedelic-integration therapy, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in the SF Bay Area and via telehealth in California. I have over 4,000 hours of clinical experience in diverse settings such as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, community mental health, addiction medicine, and private practice. I have also contributed to psychedelic medicine research, co-authoring a paper in the Journal of Affective Disorders on the need for establishing best practices and gold standards in psychedelic medicine.
