Statement to Client
Alessandra Santos Pye, or Ally Pye is a psychedelic assisted therapist, psychotherapist, facilitator and artist. Her clinical approach and facilitation offerings center relational dynamics rooted in anti-oppression, ceremony, restorative justice, trauma informed care, and the expressive arts. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, original territory of the Tupi Guarani, her identity is multifaceted by Indigenous, West African, and European culture and ancestry.
She is the Founder and Creative Director of the Chrysalis Institute, with the mission to expand the spectrum of opportunities available to emerging BI&POC artists by supporting self-exploration, self-care, and contemplative practices.
She has earned post-graduate certificates from the Center for Psychedelic Studies and Research at the California Institute of Integral Sciences and the Naropa Center for Psychedelic Studies.
*Curando* is the current iteration of Alessandra’s therapeutic work, offering full spectrum Psychedelic Assisted Therapy designed to support and inspire the unfolding of both personal and collective narratives, in pursuit of a just and sustainable future.
