Sarah Zoghbi Buras, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Nashville TN
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, identity, grief, and life transitions, as well as those seeking a deeper relationship with themselves.
Our work begins with getting to know you—your experiences, hopes, challenges, and what has brought you to therapy. Rather than following a predetermined checklist, we develop a collaborative process that honors your needs, interests, and pace.
Some sessions may center on conversation, reflection, and exploring patterns in your emotional and relational life. Others may invite more experiential ways of engaging with what emerges, including body awareness, creative expression, mindfulness, or exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
I specialize in psychedelic preparation, harm reduction, and integration, supporting people before and after experiences in clinical, ceremonial, spiritual, or personal contexts. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in collaboration with medical providers, with attention to thoughtful preparation, the medicine experience, and integration afterward.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing unfolds through relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. I aim to offer a steady, compassionate space where your experiences can be explored with curiosity, care, and respect.
I'm Sarah Zoghbi Buras, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee and Louisiana, Director of PsychEvolve, and member of the training faculty at Fluence. My clinical work specializes in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, preparation, harm reduction, and integration, grounded in relational psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and holistic care.
I earned my M.S. in Counseling from Loyola University New Orleans and completed postgraduate training in psychedelic-assisted therapy primarily through Fluence and MAPS/Lykos, including certification in Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration. My background also includes theatre and creative arts, aromatherapy, autogenic hypnosis, contemplative practices, and shamanic drum journey traditions.
Bringing people together has been a meaningful thread throughout my career. I co-founded the Loyola University New Orleans Center for Counseling & Education and the Psychedelic Society of New Orleans, founded Care for Creatives New Orleans, and co-authored published research on experiential group interventions for creative arts professionals.
Now based in Nashville, I offer psychotherapy in person and remotely throughout Tennessee and Louisiana, with occasional in-person offerings in New Orleans.

Through PsychEvolve, I offer individual psychotherapy alongside small-group therapeutic and experiential experiences.
**Individual Psychotherapy**
Relational psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and holistic therapy for adults, including psychedelic preparation and integration and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
**Psychedelic Integration Therapy Groups**
Small, closed seasonal cohorts offering a supportive space to explore, process, and integrate psychedelic and other non-ordinary state experiences in relationship with others. These groups are substance-free.
**Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Group Ceremonies**
Intimate, medically supported ketamine experiences held within a therapeutic and ceremonial container, including individual preparation, a group medicine ceremony, and next-day integration.
**Immersion Day Retreats**
Experiential group therapy retreats weaving together psychotherapy, creative expression, embodiment, mindfulness, and connection through practices such as expressive arts, breathwork, movement, and shamanic drum journeying.
I'm licensed in Tennessee and Louisiana, offering remote psychotherapy across both states, in-person services in Nashville, and occasional in-person offerings in New Orleans.
A complimentary 20-minute consultation is available to explore whether we're a good fit.
