Coley Woodward

Coley C. Woodward II, LMHC, is the founder of Psyberspace Center for Psychedelic Therapy in New York, NY, a BIPOC- and LGBTQ+-affirming psychotherapy practice dedicated to expanding equitable access to trauma-informed and psychedelic-assisted care.

Coley graduated Magna Cum Laude from Loyola University Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and earned two master’s degrees in counseling from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, New Jersey, California, and Georgia, and is EMDR certified. His clinical work focuses on trauma, eating disorders, culturally affirming care, and the ethical clinical use of psychedelic-assisted therapies to support deep and lasting healing. He also provides Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for anorexia.

A national health-equity leader in MDMA-assisted therapy, Coley is committed to advancing safe, ethical, and accessible psychedelic care. His professional background spans correctional facilities, courts, and community mental health programs, serving individuals impacted by incarceration, homelessness, and severe mental illness. He is a practicum supervisor for Columbia University School of Social Work and a forensic social worker with the San Mateo County Bar Association.

Coley is the author of the Psychedelic Integration Guide and the creator of two innovative trauma-healing models: TRIP, an 8-week individual psychedelic-assisted EMDR program, and GRIP, a group-based psychedelic-assisted EMDR program designed to support trauma recovery without personal disclosure. He also volunteers with Project HEAL to expand access to eating disorder treatment and partners with Thank You Life to increase equitable access to psychedelic-assisted care.

Coley’s mission is to redefine trauma recovery and help ensure that profound healing becomes a right—not a privilege.
