Welcome. I'm Greg Robillard, MA, LMFT. In addition to providing trauma therapy in my private practice, I've worked in the psychedelic healing space since 2018, providing integration and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Since 2022 I've been part of the Synaptic Institute's Entheogenic Medicine Training program, teaching and mentoring new psilocybin facilitators. I received my own psilocybin facilitator training at Synaptic, and was lucky enough to experience a practicum in Jamaica, learning from the amazing healers at Rastafari Indigenous Village.
As a facilitator and therapist, my work is informed by transpersonal psychology, with a particular interest in Buddhism. When I provide psychedelic integration in my private practice, clients will explore with Internal Family Systems and EMDR.
My therapy training at Lewis & Clark came with a deep commitment to social equity, and I enjoy working with people regardless of race, class, ability, religion, gender identification or sexuality.
As a bonus, I have played drums and percussion for decades, and enjoy offering sound healings to clients during journeys.
Psilocybin clients have worked with me with success in the following areas:
* grief
* aging and life transitions
* substance use
* trauma
What some of my students have said about working with me:
"Greg is a phenomenal listener. Patient, kind, and really makes you feel heard and seen. Greg makes you feel safe and strong in his presence and like you can do hard things. He has an extraordinary ability to make you feel really comfortable and safe working with him!"
-- LV, Synaptic Student
"I took Greg’s classes at Synaptic Institute and found him to be a knowledgeable educator with a gentle, patient, kind approach. His classes were thorough, informative, and illuminating. Greg is an excellent instructor and a therapist I gladly include in my referral network.”
-- LG
When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, playing music, and exploring the mountains and rivers of the Northwest with my family.
Skydance is an homage to the osprey: male osprey court potential mates with elaborate flights called skydances. I grew up on the east coast near New York City. At that time the osprey had all but vanished, due to DDT that was weakening their eggs. Since DDT was banned, ospreys have returned to coastal regions. The osprey is a symbol of resiliance, and a hope for humanity.
Many research studies suggest psilocybin can help people suffering from treatment-resistent depression, end-of-life anxiety, and other mental health struggles.
Some people wish to explore their consciousness, connect to spirituality, and unlock their growth potential.
Creatives find psilocybin to help with creativity, in generating ideas, coming up with novel solutions, and side-stepping ego traps. I am a musician and writer, and taught for many years at Portland's Attic Institute.
Some research about creativity is here.
I've written some articles in this space, specifically about psilocybin and trauma and working with fear.
