One of the most common concerns regarding the laws changing around psychedelic-assisted therapy is access – more specifically, will the people and communities that could benefit the most, those who have potentially experienced the most trauma, be able to afford or get access to psychedelic assisted therapy?

That’s what makes the work of Courtney Watson and her team at Doorways Therapeutics, so important.

During this episode, Courtney shares about the psychedelic-therapy work being offered through their clinic in Oakland, California, and how they are supporting people of color and people with diverse gender identities.

We’ll discuss:

· How their innovative approach to therapy is making a significant difference in the healing of this community…

· How what’s happening at Doorways could potentially serve as a model for psychedelic-therapy for other types of marginalized communities…

· Important considerations for mental health care providers who are providing psychedelic-assisted (or other forms of therapy) to BIPOC / LGBTQ+ clients or communities…

· What we can all do to ensure the people who could benefit the most from psychedelic-assisted therapies can get access to it
