Sara Gael, MA, LPC

I am a therapist, educator, and mentor with expertise in MDMA-Assisted Therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, psychedelic risk reduction, and psychedelic professional development. I founded Terragrada, where I facilitate psilocybin sessions in Boulder, CO. I co-founded Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts. I am deeply aligned with our focus on bringing psychedelic-assisted care and training to underserved populations. I worked at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) for 10 years and held multiple roles including Director of Harm Reduction, overseeing the work of the Zendo Project. I served as an Investigator for Lykos Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials researching the safety and efficacy of MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD and was a Lykos Lead Educator and Associate Supervisor. I was the Founding Course Director for the Integrative Psychiatry Institute’s Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Training. I serve as an advisor and consultant for multiple organizations in the psychedelic space including the Zendo Project, DanceSafe, and Beckley Clinical. Over the past 15 years, I have helped to train thousands of individuals on the topics of psychedelic-assisted therapy, psychedelic peer support, and personal and professional development in the psychedelic field. I believe in the potential of psychedelics as catalysts for individual, community, and collective healing. I come from mixed white/hispanic ancestry and was raised in Northern New Mexico where my ancestors have lived for over 20 generations. Central to my own healing journey has been my connection to land and the natural world. I have held a personal relationship with psychedelics for over 25 years.
