Mr Brian Murphy

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am a holistic psychotherapist who also works with people preparing for and integrating plant medicine and psychedelic experiences.”

About Me

As a holistic psychotherapist, I offer a grounded space to explore your inner world. I help individuals prepare for and integrate plant medicine or psychedelic experiences, ensuring their insights become meaningful. Together, we can make sense of profound journeys and gently weave them into your everyday life. This support is for anyone seeking deeper understanding and lasting personal growth through these unique paths.

Approach

When people bring insights from deep experiences, I track how those moments live in the body and everyday routines, gently translating them into practical practices. In sessions in New York or online, we move between focused breath, somatic noticing and reflective dialogue at a steady, patient pace so shifts can settle between meetings. Homework feels like short, doable invitations—mindful pauses, movement prompts, or brief journaling—to anchor new understanding. This approach often suits adults navigating recovery, transitions, anxiety or mood shifts who want embodied, sustainable change.
