David J. MacDonald, LCSW

I'm a provider of highly trauma-Informed, body-oriented models of psychotherapy & healing including Ketamine (psycholytic/psychedelic) Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR Therapy®, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy®, Internal Family Systems® & Heartmath®.

As an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultant I offer case consultation and consultation toward EMDR Certification.

In 2018 I began formal training to consolidate essential skills to offer legal Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy as changes in law and culture allow. I've completed the basic training in MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy offered by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and I'm in an ongoing medically supervised training program to expand my skills in Ketamine Assisted (psychedelic/psycholytic) Psychotherapy. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy has become an important part of my work with Psychedelic Medicines.

In June of 2023 I began the Psychedelic Apprenticeship Training at the Psychedelic Somatic Institute learning to work therapeutically with Cannabis and Ketamine to treat Trauma and related Dissociation.

I'm also an Artist Blacksmith creating trauma/ recovery themed metal sculpture.
