Karen Stewart

As a mental health psycho-social support specialist, I have 30-plus years of experience in a wide variety of settings, from community mental health to hospital psychiatric emergency. For 10 years, I served as a mental health specialist for Doctors Without Borders throughout Asia and Africa. I am also a certified meditation teacher and an experienced psychonaut. As I identify as queer, I prioritize creating safer LGBTQIA+ spaces. As someone who has been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for decades, my goal is to offer professional support, an experienced ear, and an open heart to those ready to reimagine their lives. I am currently seeing clients virtually for preparation, to include harm-reduction, and integration sessions regarding psychedelic and non-ordinary reality experiences using the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model. I also offer virtual ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
