Kyong Yi, LCSW
She/Her

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the profound pain of disconnection.These struggles often leave people feeling isolated, shut down, or unsure how to move toward the life and relationships they long for.

My work has always been about helping people reclaim connection—within themselves, with others, and with their humanity.In recent years, I’ve been inspired by the expanding research on psychedelics and their potential to reduce suffering and foster meaningful transformation. While these experiences can open powerful doors to healingand insight, they are not instant solutions. The mindset you bring, the environment you’re in, and what you do before and after the experience all play a crucial role in shaping lasting benefits.
My approach to psilocybin facilitation is grounded, trauma-informed, and rooted in safety, trust, and intention.As an Asian-American immigrant, I carry a deep understanding of what it means to live between worlds—of identity, culture, language, and belonging.This lived experience informs my commitment to creating a space that is safe, inclusive, and welcoming to people from all backgrounds. I strive to honor the complexity of each person’s story and to hold space for the intersections of race, culture, gender, ability, and lived experience in the healing process.

I bring not only clinical expertise but also direct experience from the research world. I’ve served as a study therapist on several clinical trials involving psychedelic-assisted therapy, including work with MDMA and soonpsilocybin. This has strengthened my belief in the healing potential of these medicines—not as standalone solutions, but as catalysts when paired with skilled, compassionate support.

Whether you’re seeking healing, reconnection, or personal growth through psychedelic exploration, I offer a presence that is steady, respectful, and attuned. It would be an honor to support you on your path, with care, integrity, and deep respect for your inner wisdom.
