Maria Paula Almiron is a native Argentinean, she qualified as a psychologist from Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) and completed professional equivalences in the United Kingdom, obtaining her license as a clinical and a forensic psychologist through the British Psychological Society. She is currently a registered practitioner with the Healthcare Professions Council (UK) and is in the final stages of registration with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
Maria’s work in expanded states of consciousness grew out of exposure to the eastern practices of silence, prayer and pilgrimage, her own relationship with visionary plants in Central/South America, and formal training gathered in Western academic contexts. In collaboration with several projects across formal and informal channels, Maria is in active service of the psychedelic community, promoting harm reduction in recreational settings, facilitating integration for individuals with adverse experiences, contributing to clinical research, advocating for safe and legal end-of-life access and providing psilocybin assisted therapy for Health Canada approved cases.
Maria is a certified Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy Facilitator through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI), a MAPS-trained MDMA-assisted psychotherapist for the treatment of PTSD and a Therapsil-trained psylocibin-assisted psychotherapist for the treatment of end-of-life anxiety. She works with MAPS as a protocol-adherence rater in MDMA trials for PTSD, is the co-founder of the Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Program at the Cognitive Behavioural Center of Niagara and a Clinical Suitability Assessor with Heroic Hearts Canada.
