Join the Hudson Valley Psychedelic Society, Forest Haven, and The N.E.S.T. for a monthly community gathering.
This event is designed to foster open dialogue, share experiences & build community support with the fascinating world of psychedelics.
In March, we will focus on Ketamine as sacred medicine, chemical substance or party drug? Is there a difference? How does it help? How does it hurt?
Join a panel of experts on this subject:
Dee Dee Goldpaugh (they/them)— Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Chrysalis Integrative Psychotherapy specializing in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for trauma healing and deep emotional transformation. As part of the team at Woodstock Therapy Center, they offer ketamine-assisted sessions and retreats that integrate psychedelic medicine with evidence-based trauma modalities such as IFS and EMDR. A leading voice in Psychedelic Integration Psychotherapy, Dee Dee brings extensive experience in working with survivors of trauma, creating a safe, affirming, and spiritually attuned container where ketamine can support reconnection, resilience, and profound inner healing.
Mathias Von Reusner— Board-certified Family Physician with nearly 25 years of experience in the Mid Hudson Valley, they began integrating Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) into their work after training with Phil Wolfson through the Ketamine Training Center in 2019. Now leading a KAT program at the Woodstock Therapy Center and co-facilitating ketamine retreats at Menla, they approach ketamine as a powerful catalyst for reconnecting individuals to their innate healing capacity. Grounded in both medical expertise and contemplative practice, they create supportive, community-centered environments where ketamine becomes a tool for deep inner relationship, integration, and lasting transformation.
Jeffrey Tiger — Psychedelic Guide and co-founder of the Embodied Psychedelic Collective — for a trauma-informed exploration of the ketamine experience. With over 20 years in psychedelic medicine and recovery, he offers grounded support for preparation, at-home ketamine facilitation, and integration. Through somatic awareness and heart-centered guidance, Jeffrey creates a safe container where deep healing and transformation can unfold.
Chris Chamberlin, LMHC-D, CPAT, NCC — Founder of Mosaic Holistic Psychotherapy — offers Ketamine-Assisted Therapy within a deeply integrative, client-centered framework designed to support meaningful and lasting transformation. With over 25 years of clinical experience and advanced training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, Chris combines ketamine experiences with modalities such as IFS and EMDR to help clients safely process trauma, shift entrenched patterns, and reconnect with their inner wisdom. Their approach emphasizes careful preparation, attuned support, and thoughtful integration, creating a grounded and compassionate container where the ketamine journey becomes a catalyst for insight, healing, and authentic alignment.
