Relationship Is Psychedelic
Centering relationship in transformational processes.

Hello! I’m Rafaelle Lancelotta (they/she)

I am a white Latinx (Cuban) non-binary transfemme therapist and Social Work PhD student who has been working in the field of mental health and studying psychedelics in various capacities for 10 years. I have worked as a person-centered, somatic psychotherapist utilizing cannabis and ketamine in the treatment of complex PTSD, treatment resistant depression, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and problematic substance use. I am currently only taking a very limited number of therapy clients on a case-by-case basis. I am primarily offering integration and educational/consultation services.

Advocate for ethical accessibility of mental healthcare to all people, particularly marginalized populations.
Support therapists in making ethically aligned clinical decisions with their clients in relation to psychedelic-assisted practice.
Support people in pursuing careers/educational paths that are authentically aligned with their passion.
Invite people to feel more connected to the present moment through one another.
Services

Psychedelic Integration

This would include:

-Individuals who have had or are planning on having an experience with a psychedelic and would like to have a safe space to talk about their experience and make the most of the time following the experience.
-Individuals who have had a challenging psychedelic experience who would like help with regulation and grounding. Note: this is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, please reach out to harm reduction hotlines such as Fireside: https://firesideproject.org/

II My Approach & Values
Throughout the course of my work with therapy and psychedelics over the last decade, I have come to believe that relationship is the most critical element of healing processes. I believe that true, authentic relationship with self and others is vital to living fulfilling, joyous, and balanced lives.
My approach is rooted in developing a secure relational container with you to get to know you, to form a connection, and to better understand your context in life. From there, we can outline your goals are and work towards them as a team. In consultation and in integration work, I provide education about the mechanisms of psychedelic therapy, the nervous system, harm reduction and trauma. I offer somatic and harm-reduction informed tools when appropriate at various points of our work to understand and work through symptoms. I recognize the effects of systemic oppression and transgenerational trauma. Your experience exists within the context of your community, your history, and the society you live in.
I value client autonomy – that is to say that I wish to support you in determining what you need in any given moment, and trusting in your inner-knowing.
I value a collaborative process between practitioner and client. I don’t have all the answers – I am here to support you in your journey to find the answers that align with your truth.
Finally, I value a grounded approach to psychedelic integration which incorporates physical, mental, relational, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
