Psychedelics Preparation & Integration Psychologist
Priya has been working in collaboration with clients for nearly 20 years in Alberta. Early in her career, she was introduced to somatic therapy and trauma therapy, which sparked her curiosity about how the body holds psychological burdens and patterns. Her undergraduate degree in neuropsychology shaped her belief that everything psychological is, at its core, biological. As a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, she learned various frameworks for understanding developmental patterns and the “stuckness” clients often experience. Her work is informed by Self-Regulation Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, and Hakomi. Her curiosity later led her to explore psychedelic medicine and its potential to facilitate the softening and opening of the unconscious mind, which allows for easier access to these stuck patterns. She has trained with Numinus, Therapsil, Atma Journey, Numa Breathwork, and the Zendo Project, earning multiple certifications in areas such as Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy, MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy, Breathwork, and Sitting and Integration Training.
Priya cannot be directly booked with as she is only available to clients who access psychedelic treatment services (Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, MDMA-Assisted Therapy, Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy)
As a psychologist, I focus on creating safe, trauma-informed spaces that meet clients where they are. I encourage compassionate curiosity about present issues, past narratives, and future goals. I believe in a holistic approach, recognizing that a person’s history and environment—such as culture, family, beliefs, and emotions—impact their self-concept and interactions.
I support clients with chronic stress, trauma (PTSD/C-PTSD), performance issues, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, grief, relationships, and chronic illness. My therapeutic modalities include EMDR, somatic techniques, mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, aiming to foster connection, curiosity, and confidence.
Inspired by my education in psychology and exercise sciences, along with personal experiences in yoga and martial arts, I emphasize the importance of resilience and discipline. Movement practices can enhance distress tolerance and focus. I advocate for a shift from self-improvement to self-care, where compassionate curiosity becomes the foundation for change.
Through this courageous presence, we can reprocess and rewrite our narratives about past experiences. Subtle shifts in perspective can transform how we engage with the present, creating new trajectories. In challenging situations, psychedelic medicines may facilitate lasting shifts in consciousness when integrated thoughtfully.
