Move towards love and truth
More About Me
A warm welcome to my site, I am so glad you’ve been led here. I'm Graham, I live between Northampton, Massachusetts, and Austin, Texas. I am devoted to helping you find a sense of home in your body, mind, community, and life. I will support you in finding an ecology of practices that allow you to adapt to changing conditions, see the details and big picture, remain connected to your authenticity, and maintain a radiant, thriving aliveness. I’ve been collecting and integrating practices from therapeutic, relational, and spiritual traditions. I incorporate these all into my work and have witnessed the powerful and transformative effects they can have. I would be honored to share them with you. My work is trauma-informed and shaped by modalities like Internal Family Systems, Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, and Non-Violent communication. I focus on cultivating deep safety, intimate embodiment through serious play, and radical authenticity.
I take great joy in the opportunity to help people see themselves and the world more clearly, feel free from illusory limitations, and make harmonious decisions. Through my practice, Being Free Together, I create a safe environment where we can be guided by truth and love, and ultimately, be free together.

Connection and Community
Testimony
Graham brings a deep presence to every conversation. He has a special way of listening between the lines, fueled by his own self-understanding, that’s incredibly supportive toward self-discovery and acceptance. I leave our conversations with a renewed sense that my experiences are real and worthy of attention, and that I am capable of meeting myself and growing.
Lili
My life, like anyone's, has seen its share of turbulence and suffering. I've faced a range of difficult experiences, from opiate addiction to psychosis. During these challenging times, Graham has been a sanctuary for me when others felt too difficult to approach. His own story and willingness to share his experiences have guided me through some of my most challenging moments. His understanding and empathy shine through in the authentic person he is. Through Graham's calming presence and his graceful acceptance of others, regardless of their story, I have found inspiration, help, and love.
Joshua
Graham transformed my scattered enthusiasm into a cohesive dream. Through his integrative approach, combining professional guidance, psychedelic, and spiritual interventions, he addressed my spiritual, professional, and personal needs. With his support, I relocated to a new city, integrated into a network of like-minded professionals, and obtained a Master’s Degree in my chosen field within 18 months. Graham’s ceaseless compassion, wisdom, and practical mindset empower those with both specific and abstract needs to take action.
He instilled in me the importance of community, self-trust, and self-forgiveness. His guidance was pivotal as I navigated new challenges, from writing a musical in a coffee shop to applying for universities and exploring psychedelic therapy. Graham’s ability to blend methods to meet the unique needs of each individual makes him an invaluable guide on any journey.
Carl
Thanks to Graham, I gained access to an inner world that has blown me away with it’s beauty and intricacy. I am a more powerful and integrated person because of him. He is someone I want to call to celebrate with and to complain to. A combination of silly and serious that goes beneath the heart and mind and touches the spirit. He respects me and my parts, and his own, and I feel safer with him than with almost anyone else. You can love him, you can trust him, and you’ll be glad you did after the fact. Nothing in the world seems impossible when he is in his element.
Gabriel
While working with my husband and me, I was in awe of how quickly Graham was able to disarm any defensiveness and hold space for our conflict almost immediately on our first meeting. He was fully present, able to navigate to the core of our issue and help us communicate effectively to one another in a way we weren’t able to find on our own. I’ve seen many different therapists over my life. Having a partner in health as effective as Graham is truly a gift to all couples and individuals alike.
