Seaghan Coleman, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Buffalo NY
I meet clients as a fellow human being, not from behind a clinical wall. My style is direct, warm, collaborative, and intimate — I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is itself a vehicle for healing.
In KAP sessions, I'm fully present in the room throughout the experience. This isn't a model where you take medicine and sit alone with an eye mask while I check in periodically. I'm tracking what's emerging in real time — guiding, witnessing, holding space — and helping you make sense of what arises. The integration work that follows is where lasting change takes root, and I bring the same depth of presence to those conversations.
For trauma processing, I pay close attention to pacing. Complex trauma and dissociation require a therapist who can read the nervous system, recognize when parts are activated, and calibrate the work so it stays within a window that's challenging but not overwhelming. I move at the pace of safety, not the pace of ambition.
I'm honest with clients. If something isn't working, I'll name it. If I see a pattern showing up in our relationship that mirrors what's happening in your life, I'll bring it into the room. I expect the same honesty in return — the work goes deeper when both people are willing to be real.
I also hold space for dimensions of experience that many clinical settings don't — spiritual emergence, encounters with non-ordinary states of consciousness, existential questioning, and the grief that often comes with waking up to how much of life has been lived on autopilot. These aren't pathology. They're part of the territory.
I'm a master therapist, EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, and the founder of Samadhi Healing Collective in Buffalo, NY. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment wounds — and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is the heart of my current work.
My KAP sessions are therapist-led and spiritually integrated. By softening the Default Mode Network, ketamine opens the door to expanded states of awareness, deep emotional release, and reconnection with parts of ourselves that have long been buried beneath fear, shame, and old identities. I don't just prescribe and monitor — I'm in the room, doing the therapeutic work alongside my clients in real time.
I identify as a psychonaut: someone who engages in deliberate, disciplined exploration of consciousness through meditation, breathwork, ceremonial practice, and psychedelic medicines. This is ancient human territory — present in shamanic traditions, contemplative monasticism, and the mystery schools of nearly every culture. My own practice spans Vajrayana Buddhism, Dzogchen, Theravada, metta, and Sufi wisdom, and these traditions inform everything I do clinically.
My approach integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, ACT, and Buddhist psychology alongside KAP. I'm currently researching the integration of psycholytic ketamine doses with EMDR for dissociative presentations, and exploring EMDR as a gateway to non-ordinary states of consciousness through default mode network modulation.
I also mentor and consult with therapists in EMDR, integrative trauma treatment, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
We are all fellow travelers on this path. My style is collaborative, direct, warm, and deeply human.
Currently accepting new clients for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy only.
