Sarah Wolfer

Welcome

As a part of the LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous communities, I am most passionate about working with other members of these communities. This is because, in LGBTQIA+ communities, incidents of depression, anxiety, and addiction are far higher than in the larger population, mainly due to the damage that heterocentric and ciscentric environments cause. The world we live in, unfortunately wasn’t created for us, and this has been shown to slowly shape and impact queer and trans lives by altering how we view the world, interpret the response of others, and hold a sense of our own safety in both meaningful relationships and new situations. Psychedelics can be a powerful way to heal much of this as well as an avenue to explore and even reconstruct gender and sexual identities—helping people to embrace and affirm who they really are. Though psychedelics are proven to help queer folx, it is important to have a safe space where you can be free to explore all parts of your identity. This way you don’t have to worry about someone using the wrong pronouns or name during treatment, or someone judging you for how you do relationships differently, and you can feel confident that your therapist just “gets it” and you don’t have to educate them on the identities most important to you. All of this is why having a queer psychedelic-assisted therapist is beneficial for many who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ and/or non-monogamous communities and why I am passionate about working with these clients.
