Claire Weiss, MA, RCC
Owner, Clinical Counsellor

​I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with 13 years’ experience, specializing in supporting individuals affected by trauma – individual, familial, cultural or ancestral – and the wide range of disorders that arise out of trauma or neglect.  I have a particular passion for working with therapists, healers, parents and other caregivers, and have specialized experience with addictions, chronic pain / illness, mood disorders and anxiety.  

My exploration into the field of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy was motivated by my own journey of healing and transformation with psychedelic medicines.  Since 2021, my clinical practice has focused on providing support to individuals who are seeking healing with psychedelic-assisted therapy, and I currently hold over 450 hours of practical experience with this approach.
