About

Hi, I’m Tisha.

I’ve spent much of my life asking how people work—and what happens when the ways we’ve been working stop working for us. Before moving into social work and psychedelic facilitation, I spent more than two decades in corporate leadership, culture and employee experience. I know something about achievement, burnout and the complicated relationship between who we are and what we do.

Now my work takes a different shape. I support people who are navigating change, exploring psychedelics, building new relationships with themselves or simply wondering whether there might be another way.

I’m practical, curious and not especially interested in acting like I’ve got life figured out. I bring formal training and hard-won perspective. Clients bring the most important expertise: their own lives.

How I work

We co-create. That might look like a conversation, a walk, a useful question, music, writing or making space to notice what the body is telling us. It always involves choice. The method should serve the person, not the other way around.

Values & ethics

Autonomy

You get to make informed decisions about your life and your care. My role is to support that process, not decide for you.

Humility

There’s a great deal we know—and a great deal we don’t. I keep learning, consulting and adjusting rather than pretending certainty.

Safety

Appropriate screening, clear consent, privacy, preparation, boundaries and referral when needs exceed my role are essential, not optional.

Connection

Friendship, routines, creativity, nature and community are not side quests. They are part of how people stay well.

Joy

Some work is hard. Some is funny, beautiful and surprising. There is room for all of it.

Experience & credentials

Two different kinds of work, kept distinct: supervised psychotherapy, and Colorado natural medicine facilitation. They have different oversight, different booking routes, and they are described separately here.

Supervised psychotherapy

  • MSW Clinical Intern at An Enduring Love, Fort Collins (Aug 2026–present), providing psychotherapy under supervision.
  • Clinical supervisor: Dr. Rob Colbert.
  • Master of Social Work, Colorado State University (expected Dec 2027).

[TODO: confirm supervisor name and credentials, the relationship with An Enduring Love, and whether this site may advertise psychotherapy delivered under that practice]

Natural medicine facilitation

  • Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training at Reflective Healing Center, Fort Collins (Aug 2026–present).
  • Psychedelic Facilitator Training, SoundMind Institute (Sept 2024–May 2025).

[TODO: license number conflict: one document says NMIT515, the résumé says NMIT 0000511 (Colorado DORA). Confirm the exact number before publishing either.]

[TODO: title wording: some copy says “licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator”, other copy says “Facilitator in Training”. Use only the confirmed title.]

Background & community

  • 20+ years in corporate brand, culture and employee experience.
  • Founding member, Steamboat Springs chapter of the Nowak Society.
  • TEDx and conference speaker.

[TODO: confirm which talks to name, and whether any employers should be named]
