Testimonials

Nina Lerner, LCSW, clinical trial psychedelic facilitator


“I consulted with, and was guided by, Melissa and Bill in my support of individuals in their work with psychedelic medicine. I found them both to be exceptionally thoughtful, knowledgeable and ethical in all of our interactions. They brought a practicality and clarity to the space that allowed for deep understanding and integration of the information they shared.”

Mark DiFilippo, MA, EdS, LPC, CMT-P, clinical trial psychedelic facilitator


"I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Melissa and Bill through the Cybin/EMBARK training program for psychedelic therapists. They both bring years of expertise, leadership, trial and error, and integrity into the space that is paramount to the successful, safe, and effective application of psychedelic medicines in the modern era."

Abbi Lambert, MSW clinical trial psychedelic facilitator


“It has been a true honor and privilege to have been in training with Melissa and Bill. They offer a wealth of knowledge, are supportive, passionate, and incredibly empathetic to those they teach, with a deep commitment to the populations served. They are approachable, open-minded and willing to offer any extra time needed to ensure that those they work with feel safe, understood, and valued."

Dee Dee Goldpaugh LCSW, psychotherapist, author, psychedelic clinical trial supervisor


I believe Dr. Bill Brennan to be one of the most knowledgeable, well-rounded psychedelic therapists and thinkers working today. Bill’s keen intellect is matched with a passion for teaching, the capacity to communicate nuanced and humanistic perspectives of complex ethical issues in the field, and a gift for being able to connect to both clients and students in meaningful ways. Dr. Brennan’s dedication to clinical care and capacity for innovation in psychedelic therapy, as well as the ability to guide, teach, and train on these topics, make him an exceptional figure in psychedelic therapy and training. 

Irene Hoylie-Ristaino, MS, LPC, LCADC, ACS, CCS, NCC, clinical trial psychedelic facilitator


I have a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart when reflecting upon the information, guidance, and wisdom that both Bill and Melissa have shared with me during my training process. I'm sincerely grateful to them both for the quality of the content and the authentic, caring manner in which it was delivered. I am grateful to them for teaching me how to be effective in the psychedelic space in a competent, ethical, and loving manner. I look forward to continuing to work with them both in the future!

Rachel Spangenthal, PMHNP-BC, clinical trial psychedelic facilitator


"Bill and Melissa are a dream team when it comes to educating practitioners in providing evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate care. They manage to distill complex concepts into easily digestible pieces of information that are seamlessly integrated into current practices. Their years of experience in the field of mental health and psychedelic medicine, as well as their deep care for this work, is self-evident in everything that they do. Their training in psychedelic assisted therapy has helped enable me to become the provider I am today."

Nick Weiss, MD, PLLC, psychiatrist, psychotherapist
