Lincoln Stoller, Ph.D.

Lincoln Stoller is a counsellor, hypnotherapist and neurofeedback trainer in View Royal, British Columbia, whose practice, Mind Strength Balance, includes counselling around psychedelic experiences. He works with clients worldwide over Zoom and sees some in person.

Approach

He mixes coaching and brain state training with hypnotic induction, cognitive reframing and body awareness, and for altered-state work adds hypnotic regression, visualisation, rhythm and dream work. For a psychedelic experience he suggests three or four hourly sessions: one or two beforehand, one straight after and a last one several weeks later. He holds a PhD in quantum physics from Texas, worked for NASA, ran a custom software firm for 20 years, and is a certified hypnotherapist and certified clinical counsellor (CCPCPr). He has lived with indigenous communities in Ecuador, the Caribbean and Mongolia, has grown and cooked ayahuasca and facilitated ceremonies, and has written nine books.

Who it is for

He works with trauma, emotions, medical issues, relationships and performance, with clients he describes as ranging from people with borderline disorders to boardroom executives. He does not offer emergency or crisis support and works only in daytime hours.

Practical details

Remote sessions cost US$140 to $350 an hour on a sliding scale set by employment, insurance and income, and in-person sessions cost US$40 an hour more. The first session usually runs 90 minutes, after a free 15-minute discovery call. From 2026, new therapy clients must also train with an at-home brainwave headset such as the MUSE, about US$150 used. He says most insurers cover his psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, sleep therapy and neurofeedback as counselling.
