Welcome. A Place to Deepen Your Practice.
The Wild Mind Institute supports you in cultivating the presence, skill, and psychological depth needed to do transformative work with integrity. Our approach is grounded in a deep trust in the psyche, and weaves together rigorous theory, contemporary best practice, embodied process, and nature-based wisdom. We offer training, supervision and consultation for mental health practitioners working with wild places — within and without — in eco-psychotherapy, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and integration support for challenging experiences.
Psychedelic Therapy
Guidance and resources for clinicians navigating the psychedelic process. We provide training, in-depth supervision, peer support networks, and a trusted co-therapist model to help you work with confidence and integrity.
BAD TRIP INTEGRATION
Specialist support in the aftermath of a difficult journey. We offer direct, compassionate therapy for individuals, alongside advanced training and peer supervision for clinicians working with these challenging experiences.
Eco-Psychotherapy
Connecting clinical work with the natural world. This stream includes immersive retreats, online group supervision, and individual support for developing your own eco-therapeutic practice with a community of peers.
