Bloom Psychedelic Therapy & Research Centre Ltd - Calgary

DIRECTOR OF THERAPY

Taunya is a Registered Professional Counsellor, Master Practicing Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Therapist, with over 10 years experience in private practice with a focus on relationships, particularly the relationship one has with themselves, in relationship with others. Her favorite modality up until Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) has been Accelerated Resolution Therapy in which she is a certified Master A.R.T. Practitioner. A.R.T. uses bilateral stimulation for altered state, and follow protocols that allow for ‘entry’ in the here and now.

Further to A.R.T. Taunya is becoming an “IFS informed therapist”, meaning credential if with the IFS Institue to utilize a complimentary modality for PAP. (IFS stands for internal family systems).

Taunya’s diverse background includes hundreds of hours of facilitating group work, thousands of direct client hours and many hours in specialized trainings. Including ATMA’s accredited Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy for Therapists. Ironically finishing that program lead Taunya to realize that in order for her to provide PAP she would need to understand intimately what the experience entails. So she started her year long journey personally with PAP.

Recently completing an experiential deep dive training in PAP Taunya discovered her passion for this line of work and specifically with relational dosing ketamine and psychotherapy combined.

Coming to Bloom with experience personally, professionally, excited to explore how to blend science, psychedelics and community Taunya is ready to help move Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy to the forefront of mental health treatments. Aligned with Bloom’s vision of Safety, Effectiveness and Accessibility for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Taunya is motivated to provide a much needed healing space for transformation and connectedness.
