Shayna Kelleher
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, LCSW, PATP, CIMHP
Shayna Kelleher is a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working in the
field of mental health. Her specializations include helping adults navigate through depression
and anxiety, heal from past trauma, improve relationships and self-esteem, and connect with
their inner wisdom. She believes true wellness is holistic and uses a trauma-informed blend of
cognitive, somatic, and mindfulness techniques to empower her clients to release and move
through what no longer serves them. She currently offers traditional psychotherapy and
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) using sublingual, intramuscular, and intravenous
ketamine in-person in San Diego, CA as well as virtual psychotherapy services throughout
California and Florida.
Shayna received her certification as a Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Provider (PATP) through
Integrative Psychiatry Institute’s year-long program and has completed extensive training in
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Polaris Insight Center and Fluence. She has
been working with ketamine as a tool to support her clients since 2021 and is in the process of
completing MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy Training through MAPS (Multidisciplinary
Association of Psychedelic Studies). Shayna is looking forward to incorporating MDMA and
psilocybin into her practice as these medicines become available to deepen psychotherapy and
support transformation for her clients. She is also a Certified Integrative Mental Health
Professional and an Empowered Relief Instructor.
Shayna’s past clinical experience includes working in psychiatric hospital units, emergency
rooms, intensive outpatient programs, private practice, and clinical research. During her
career, she has designed and implemented innovative mental health programs, conducted
clinical trials, supervised new therapists, and led teams of mental health professionals
delivering holistic care focused on treating the whole person, rather than just symptoms. In her
spare time, Shayna enjoys spending time outdoors with her loved ones in the Southern
California sunshine, taking a class to learn some new skill, watching live music, and moments
spent in peaceful solitude.
