Lora Sasiela, LCSW

(she/her)

Lora Sasiela is a holistic psychotherapist and psychedelic guide who supports individuals and groups in self-discovery, growth, and transformation. Her work weaves evidence-based psychotherapy with a deeply intuitive, heart-centered approach that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

Lora’s areas of focus include ketamine-assisted therapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, love addiction, early attachment trauma, and financial therapy. She works through an inclusive and affirming lens that welcomes clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including those in the kink and polyamorous communities.

Her approach is grounded in psychodynamic understanding, attachment theory, somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Lora also attunes to the deeper dimensions of human experience, and invites a sense of ritual and sacredness into the healing process.

Lora’s extensive post-graduate training includes certifications from New Hope Guild Center, National Institute for the Psychotherapies, Minuchin Center, PostGraduate Center for Mental Health, and the Women’s Therapy Centre Institute. She was also a fellow at New York University’s Psychoanalytic Institute.

A longtime advocate of plant medicine as a path of healing and reconnection, Lora has presented on psychedelic tripsitting (Bay Staters for Natural Medicine), psychedelic cannabis (Vermont Cannabis Convention), and using cannabis mindfully to heal trauma (“You Are Not Your Trauma” Summit).

Lora has served as a clinical supervisor for NYU’s School of Social Work and the Women’s Therapy Centre Institute, and her work has been featured in Marie Claire, Glamour, Redbook, and other publications.

She is licensed in New York and offers telehealth sessions.
