Incorporating structured psychoeducation and exercises, she provides tools for managing mood states, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and the impact of past traumas. Currently pursuing a certification in Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), Camila offers psychedelic preparation and integration. She has a deep-seated interest in nurturing the integration of plant medicine experiences into modern lives; a passion she fulfills during her visits to her home country, Peru, where she facilitates ayahuasca and plant medicine retreats. She also offers therapy for trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, grief/loss, family conflicts, and young adults at her Union Square office and online, through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Camila firmly believes in one's innate resilience and capacity for healing, and is committed to helping her clients overcome burdensome patterns and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
