Facilitators

Ashley and Mary bonded over their shared passion for engaging with nature and excitement over the success they had seen with Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Their conversations around the need for a new model of care which integrated traditional models with the natural world led to the creation of Ecodelic Therapy Collective.

Ashley Rollerson, LMFT

Co-Founder


Ashley Rollerson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor based in Los Angeles CA. She received her undergraduate degree from UCLA and attained her Masters in Psychology with a specialization in Early Childhood Development from Antioch University. With over 10 years of experience working with high risk adolescents and adults in varying levels of care, she recognized the importance of intersectionality within modalities and clinical frameworks. 

Her initial work with complex adolescent and young adults led to her specialization in DBT, LGBTQ affirmative care and Family Systems work. Her eclectic framework focused on behavioral interventions in congruence with mind/body/spirit connection eventually led to a shift in focus towards Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.  Her own personal experience with PAT as well as the overwhelming shifts she witnessed with clients made clear the need for a new approach to healing. A modality that emphasized a reintegration into the natural world in collaboration with our modern technological world.  

Ashley believes society and the collective impact the individual while the individual in turn influences the collective, which is why healing must be done in both individual and group frameworks. Her clinical background plus the love of nature, psychedelic plant medicine and tea, has influenced her desire to co-create Ecodelic Therapy Collective.

Ashley completed the MAPS MDMA Assisted Therapy training as well as a comprehensive Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Integration Training.
