Neurodivergent Safety, Empowerment, and Creativity
I’m James Reling, a therapist, educator, author, and trained psychedelic facilitator drawn to the meeting place of neurodivergence, trauma, and psychedelic healing. My work grows out of lived experience as a neurodivergent person exploring psychedelics for growth and healing, combined with years of practice as a licensed counselor supporting neurodivergent adults in the aftermath of trauma. My heart is committed to creating spaces where difference is recognized as a strength and where safety, sensitivity, and accommodations are foundations for all healing practices serving neurodivergent clients.
This site is home to my consulting, coaching, and writing. Here you can explore ways to work with me, engage with harm reduction resources, and imagine new approaches to psychedelic healing shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and neurodivergence.
