A calm, compassionate space to heal, grow, and reconnect.

I'm Dr Tobias Penno — registered social worker, psychotherapist, and researcher, with a PhD in psychedelic-assisted therapy. My work rests on a simple conviction: there is an innate healing intelligence in every person, and one of its clearest voices is the body. I practise a somatic, relational, trauma-informed psychotherapy that listens for that intelligence — in ordinary therapy, and in work with psychedelic medicines.
