Deepen your practice.
Strengthen your presence.
Transform the field.
with Kathleen Hanagan
For those who feel called to guide others through psychedelic-assisted healing, supervision is not just a professional support, it is a vital anchor. I bring over 35 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma, transformation, and human potential. Over the decades, I’ve worked with individuals from all walks of life, supporting their journeys through darkness into resilience, integration, and profound awakening.
As the author of Loveseed: The Template for Birthing a New World, I offer a vision and practical pathway for personal and collective healing. My approach weaves together clinical wisdom, spiritual insight, and grounded, heart-centered presence.
What This Program Offers
- One-on-One Supervision
3 personalized 60-minute sessions with Kathleen to explore your unique gifts and edges as a guide. We’ll look deeply at clinical considerations, trauma-informed approaches, ethical frameworks, integration support, and your own inner landscape as a practitioner. - Monthly Group Supervision virtual calls
Join a community of fellow guides to share experiences, learn collaboratively, and receive support and guidance on real-world cases. Together we cultivate a field of mutual learning and accountability.
For Whom This Is Intended
This supervision is for those who:
- Are working as psychedelic-assisted healing guides, space holders, or facilitators.
- Have completed the Art and Science of Holding Sacred Space at Medicine River, or other comparable trainings.
- Are committed to ethical, trauma-informed, and transformative work.
- Desire experienced mentorship and a supportive container for their growth.

Why Supervision Matters
The terrain of psychedelic healing is powerful and nuanced. Having a seasoned guide by your side allows you to:
- Work skillfully with trauma and altered states.
- Avoid pitfalls that can arise from transference and countertransference.
- Deepen your capacity to hold space with clarity, compassion, and integrity.
