Relational Healing, Neuroplasticity, and the Power of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: An Interview with Dr. Alexa Altman, Ph.D. and Shira Myrow, LMFT

In this episode, Curt and Katie chat with Dr. Alexa Altman and Shira Myrow, LMFT, about psychedelic-assisted therapy and how it supports trauma healing, neuroplasticity, and relational transformation. They explore how these treatments work, what integration really means, and how therapists can ethically and safely engage with this emerging field.

About our guests:
Dr. Alexa Altman and Shira Myrow, MFT, are co-founders of iPsychedelic Therapy. With backgrounds in trauma-informed psychology, spiritual counseling, and relational healing, they offer a holistic approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy that centers ethical care, integration, and transformational growth.

Key takeaways:

  • Psychedelics are not shortcuts—they act as amplifiers and accelerants in trauma work.

  • Integration is a crucial part of psychedelic-assisted therapy and often overlooked.

  • Clinicians must examine their own biases and seek robust training.

  • Some clients are not appropriate for these treatments due to fragility or lack of therapeutic background.

  • A safe therapeutic container, rigorous consent, and preparation are essential.

  • Regulatory frameworks are still emerging and need clinician involvement.
