Description
Alissa Hirshfeld is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trained EMDR therapist, and certified spiritual director who specializes in grief/loss and trauma. She began to train in psychedelic-assisted therapy when she saw its power to help her heal after her divorce. She received certification through the California institute of Integral Studies and has undergone training in MDMA-assisted therapy with MAPS and in ketamine-assisted therapy with the Polaris Institute and Temenos Center.
She worked at Hospice By the Bay for 12 years, where she directed the bereavement program and created innovative programs for adults, children and families.
She has authored three books: a memoir describing her personal and professional experience with grief (“This Whole Wide World is Just a Narrow Bridge”), a novel with grief themes (“Living Waters: From Harvard Halls to Sacred Falls”), and “Fury: Women’s Lived Experiences During the Trump Era,” an anthology of essays by a diverse group of women.
She currently has a private practice in Santa Rosa, provides ketamine-assisted psychotherapy at two local clinics, and teaches meditation. She also continues to write and is a visual artist.
