Dr. Billy

Over four decades of clinical depth, held in a spiritually-oriented heart

Dr. Billy brings over four decades of clinical depth, a spiritually-oriented heart, and a decade of relationship with sacred plant medicines. He accompanies and supports the journey back to the authentic heart. His work dwells in the heart space, as insight alone does not heal. He tends the place where awareness leads to wisdom and transformation.

His approach

Each of us carries internal dynamics of patterns, protection, avoidance, and disconnection — that once served us and now limit us.

Dr. Billy works with care and precision to help you see what has been invisible: the barriers between you and your own authentic essence.

The Numinous
Billy is in deep personal relationship with the sacred, the mystery, and the great unknown.

Billy is in deep personal relationship with the numinous — the sacred, the mystery, the great unknown. He does not impose a theology, but accompanies you into your own encounter with what is alive and holy in your life, and supports your process of being in relationship with it.

Sacred Medicines
Plant Medicines are living intelligences that desire to help us reconnect with ourselves.

Plant medicines are living intelligences — presences that desire to help us reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have been exiled through trauma, circumstance, and survival. The medicine does not do the work. It creates the conditions in which the work becomes possible.

Integration
Integration is an ongoing revelation — the continuing unfolding of what the medicine shows you.

Integration is an ongoing revelation — the continuing unfolding of what the spirit of the medicine is attempting to show you. This is why integration is woven into all of his work, long after a ceremony ends.

"

The medicine is benevolent. It desires to lower our defenses to the actualized self — to move us from the fear and frozen feelings that keep us disconnected from who we truly are.

Ways to work with Dr. Billy

Ongoing

Psychotherapy & Depth Psychology

Depth psychology · Trauma Specialist · Spiritually oriented · Relational

Forty years of clinical experience held in a deeply relational framework. The work is to identify what blocks your divine essence and find the courage to meet those barriers in the heart space.

Preparation, Peak & Integration

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy & Integration

Pre-ceremony preparation · Post-ceremony integration · Internal dynamics

Clinical preparation and integration rooted in genuine reverence for the medicine. Before a journey, we build a psychological container and clarify what you are bringing in. After, we tend what was revealed — tracking the ongoing work of the spirit of the medicine and how it is asking your life to change.

Specialized

Depth Trauma Work

Severe trauma · Depth Work · Protective patterning · Long-term support

Specializing in severe, complex trauma and personality disorders — the kind that shapes a person at every level and resists surface-level approaches. The medicine, combined with deep psychological work, can remove what fear has kept locked. This is careful, honored work, held within a container of profound safety and long-term accompaniment.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy is not indicated for all individuals.

Specialized

Couples Therapy

Communication · Connection · MDMA

Specializing in object relations and attachment, we examine the patterns and processes that move through your relationship that keep you from genuine and deep connection with the other. Working to create insight and develop skills to communicate more effectively and truthfully.
