Dr. Joel Shane

Going beyond talk therapy: staff therapist at non-profit Peregrine Counseling, group practice making high-end therapy accessible. My training allows me to work with a wide range of contexts: complex medical conditions; complex or single trauma histories; sex therapy & relationship therapy, sex/gender/relationship-diverse and affirming care; enhancing creative, professional or sports performance; grief; practical support with changing habits, careers or negotiating life changes etc. Trained in Buddhist Psychology, addictions treatment; certified in ketamine assisted psychotherapy & psychedelic integration; Brainspotting Consultant… , " I have a non-pathologizing Buddhist psychotherapy background, as well as the philosophies and skills from Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, sex-positive sex therapy and ketamine/psychedelic therapy. These foster a practical, courageous, nonjudgemental approach which can be secular or spiritual, following clients orientations. ", " My background sees the heart as pure, and the mind & body as potent allies, no matter the clients circumstances. While I have some very specific skills, my approach views the client as an equal and capable of learning many of these skills—while still benefitting from a nonjudgemental third partys ear, and the structure of regular sessions.
