Rodman Walsh, LMFT

Rodman Walsh is a licensed marriage and family therapist and registered addiction counsellor in Redondo Beach, California, whose work includes preparation for and integration of psychedelic experiences. He sees individuals, couples and groups at his office, by video or by phone.

Approach

He studied clinical psychology at master’s level at Antioch University in Los Angeles and has further training in EMDR, after earlier work in community counselling clinics and outpatient treatment centres. His sessions blend attachment-based, cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, relational and trauma-focused therapy with mindfulness, self-compassion and coaching. He describes himself as active and engaging, ready to challenge as well as support. He tailors psychedelic preparation and integration to each person and says his own experience with psychedelic and integrative healing informs his work. He also runs Beyond Therapy Group, a team practice in Redondo Beach that he launched in January 2024.

Who it is for

He works with people trying to understand themselves, their patterns and their relationships. His specialties include anxiety and stress, addiction and substance use, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, depression, couples work and life transitions, and he often works on shame, fear and self-judgement.
