Hello! My name is Amelia Holden.
Amelia offers Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy
I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2007 while working in the field of child protection. After 13 yrs I was burning out and no longer aligned with this System's methodology knowing I needed a change in my career, so in 2013 I began to work at a hospital servicing children & adolescents with mental health diagnosis. While in this environment I experienced moral injury by employers within this System and in 2019 I turned to psychedelic medicine to help me find a new pathway and heal from this trauma. It was after this experience I knew my direction was to go full time into independent therapeutic work. I opened my own private practice in 2018 and went full time in 2020 with Y.O.U.R. Therapy Clinic and I haven't been more aligned with my soul's purpose.
My knowledge of CBT, DBT, and trauma informed practice began while working in the Systems but I was hungry for more. My depth of my knowledge on how to heal at a core came from my relationship with the plant and funji medicines from Mother Earth. I sought out trainings, certifications, communities, and supervision with other professionals who also were aware of how psychedelic medicine is a gift from Source and here to provide healing to souls who have been lost and/or harmed. Now I attend to people's needs from a holistic lens which includes their Essence. I have provided pre and post therapy for individuals who are being called to the medicine for healing and am honoured to be able to sit with them through their ceremony as a witness to their deep cellular healing.
