Mind Body Integration offers psychedelic therapy and psychedelic integration support to clients across Canada and the United States. Our goal is to maximize safety, minimize any risk, and invite a minimal, non-interventionist, holistic, and somatic (body-centered) approach. This means welcoming all parts of our clients’ lived experience, be it physical, emotional, psychological, physiological, or spiritual. And to fully honor their own innate intelligence, wisdom, and capacity to heal.
Our lead therapist, Mehran Seyed Emami, is a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Mehran considers Dr. Gabor Maté a mentor and is a Certified Practitioner of Compassionate Inquiry (a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Maté). He is a graduate of the Integral Counseling Psychology and Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research programs at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and has completed the MAPS MDMA Therapy Training Program. He is currently training towards becoming a Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Holotropic Breathwork facilitator as well.
He currently resides on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples: xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), otherwise known as Vancouver, British Columbia.
Testimonials
I can not overestimate how my work with Mehran has positively affected my life. I particularly loved his holistic approach to therapy – he is masterful at connecting mind and body. Mehran has created a safe space for our work and guided me through my healing process with confidence and calm.
The preparation for our journey was thorough and professional. By the time the day came, I was very clear on my intent and relaxed about the coming experience. The journey itself was managed beautifully. It was meaningful and joyful. I could not have asked for a better guide than Mehran.
