Phone Consultations

I do not encourage anyone to break the law in general, nor use illicit drugs in particular. Nevertheless, many people believe the benefits possible through using psychedelic drugs are worth the legal and medical risks associated with such use. Very little solid, grounded, clinically- and scientifically-based information is available concerning the proper preparation and management of psychedelic experiences, nor is there an agreed upon psycho-social-spiritual context that allows proper integration of these and similar experiences into our personal lives.

I am beginning a consultative service, which intends to help people prepare for, manage, and follow-up their psychedelic experiences. I believe that my background in clinical use of these compounds during my tenure at the University of New Mexico makes me uniquely qualified in this area. In addition, I spent over 20 years training under the supervision of a Western Zen Buddhist order, and have spent the last 13 years studying the Old Testament’s view of spirituality. Finally, I have rigorously trained, as well as practiced within, a psychoanalytic framework of psychotherapy, and underwent a classical four-year psychoanalysis.

Please be advised that this service is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric, or psychotherapeutic assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up. I am offering it within the sprit of counsel, or advice, and it should not be considered a medical or psychiatric service and therefore does not fall under the purview of the patient-doctor relationship and liability issues.

I am offering telephone sessions built upon 30 minute units, at $100 per unit. I accept check or Paypal pre-payment. At this time I cannot accept credit card payment, but Paypal does provide this service. Before you provide payment, I'd like to exchange a few e-mails first, and determine if what you wish to discuss is appropriate in terms of what I can offer. If you pay first and it's decided to not schedule a phone session, I will return your Paypal payment minus their applicable fees, or your check.

I look forward to hearing from you.
