Healing happens in relationship - interwoven with the world around us.
Michelle Crawford | Licensed Clinical Psychologist
A Whole Integrative Approach
True psychological health is rarely found in isolation. My work is rooted in the understanding that the psyche does not stop at the skin; it is inextricably woven into the landscapes we inhabit, the relationships we nurture, and the unspoken rhythms of our inner lives.
As an integrative and transpersonal psychologist, I hold space for the full spectrum of the human experience. I draw upon the precision of clinical psychodynamics to navigate the architecture of the mind, while honoring the emergent, often non-linear dimensions of our spiritual and transpersonal growth.
My practice is designed for those who seek to move beyond symptom management toward genuine wholeness. We work with the "known" self—your history, patterns, and current struggles—while remaining open to the "unknown"—the deeper wisdom that surfaces when we slow down, reconnect with the natural world, and invite the soul back into the therapeutic container.

Traditional talk therapy is a powerful foundation, but it is only the beginning. My integrative approach blends established clinical rigor—including psychodynamic, relational, and family systems work—with transpersonal frameworks. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I provide a container that is both intellectually grounded and deeply intuitive. We address the immediate conflicts of daily life while staying attuned to the underlying existential and developmental currents that shape how you relate to yourself and others.

The healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness requires a steady hand and a profound respect for the psyche’s inherent intelligence. With extensive training in MDMA-assisted therapy (MAPS) and psilocybin, alongside years of immersion in indigenous wisdom traditions, I offer a comprehensive, safe, and deeply informed approach. I provide meticulous preparation to establish intention and safety, followed by grounded, compassionate integration to weave those experiences into the fabric of your everyday life. I work within legal frameworks and am available for facilitation in authorized jurisdictions.

There are moments when the couch is too small to hold the weight of our transformation. I facilitate immersive experiences that bridge the gap between psychological inquiry and the elemental world. By integrating nature-based modalities—including cold water immersion and equine-assisted therapy—we access deeper states of regulation and insight. These sessions, available for individuals and groups, provide a visceral, somatic counterpoint to traditional therapy. I am also available to travel to provide specialized, trauma-informed support for those attending psychedelic retreats elsewhere

Navigating legal or institutional systems requires a compassionate, whole-person approach. I offer expert medico-legal assessments that translate deep psychological insight into clear, objective evidence, advocating for your well-being within the formal systems of care and justice.
