Alissa Gibbins, a pre-licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Oakland, California, devotes her unique approach to therapy by fostering warmth, curiosity, and an unbiased perspective in each interaction with her clients. Recognizing her clients as the experts in their lived experiences, she emphasizes collaboration and humility in her therapeutic approach to create a safe sanctuary for clients to openly share their experiences. Alissa's practice is grounded in the belief that psychedelic journeys, which can be deeply personal, intriguing, and transformative, tap into the sacred essence of one's soul and constitute a considerable part of the therapeutic process.

As a therapist, Alissa provides a safe and comforting platform for clients to delve into and explore the rich complexity of their experiences with psychedelics. With the ultimate aim of helping clients assimilate the full scope and depth of their journey into their personal growth, she promotes a deep engagement with the profound insights and revelations during or after a psychedelic experience. Alissa's practice is enriched by continuous guidance and supervision from Orlando Zuniga, a licensed marriage & family therapist with extensive expertise in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Alissa, an artist, adventurer, and spiritual seeker, is a staunch advocate for trauma-informed therapy and champions a non-judgmental, accepting environment for all, aligning herself as sex-, poly-, and kink-positive, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ community ally, and respectful of all spiritual orientations. Her passion extends beyond her work, with interests in music, cooking, gardening, and spending time with her loved ones.
