About Erica Siegal
Erica worked on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy clinical trials from 2014 - 2019 and has spent over a decade providing harm reduction and crisis response services at events and festivals worldwide.
In 2019, she founded two organizations, NEST Harm Reduction & Consulting, a California-based mental health practice that provides psychotherapy, outreach, education, and integration services. She recently founded SHINE Collective, a non-profit dedicated to supporting those who have experienced real harm from assault, abuse, neglect, coercion and manipulation within psychedelic communities.
Given her years of experience and unique lens on Psychedelia, Erica provides commentary and insight into the risks and potential harms in the mainstreaming of psychedelics into society and culture.
