Elyse Gardner, LPCA

Elyse is passionate about supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies, the earth, and their innate capacity for healing. With a background in transpersonal psychotherapy and advanced training in somatic therapy, psychedelic integration, and de-escalation, she blends mindfulness, eco-psychology, and somatic practices to help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression. Alongside her private practice, Cricket Song Counseling & Coaching in Portland, OR, Elyse serves as Director of Operations and retreat leader with the nonprofit Right To Heal and as an educator with InnerTrek’s Psychedelic Training Program. Rooted in earth-based spirituality, her work is guided by the belief that healing happens through deepening one’s connection to oneself, others, and the natural world.
