Diversified Healing: Representation in Psychedelic Therapy

Leticia Brown and Courtney Watson

Leticia Brown (she / her / hers), LMFT is a Black queer femme, whose practice engages various healing modalities at the intersections of harm reduction, sexuality and social justice. She prioritizes work with BIPOC & QTBIPOC communities through a liberatory lens that values communual interdependence, and affirms the inner healer we all hold within. Constantly exploring ways to decolonize her relationship to healing, she incorporates intergenerational and spiritual exploration, ritual, the use of the body and reconnection to intuition in her practice, and sees her role as co-creator with those she walks beside on their healing journeys. She has training in a variety of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy modalities, including various Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy trainings and the MAPS sponsored MDMA-assisted psychotherapy training for communities of color. Leticia hopes to always be guided by Ida B. Wells' mantra that "Nobody's free until everybody's free", particularly in her work with QTBIPOC bodies.
