I struggled for years giving away my power, people pleasing and hustling for my worth. Through working with Loretta I was finally able to stand in my power, stop people pleasing and feel safe in the ease.
I couldn’t recommend her more. Whether it’s workshops, retreats, medicine, or therapy start where you feel called she will be the support and guide you need to find your peace 🙏🏼🫶🏼🪽

It’s rare to find someone so deeply versed in their field who still considers themselves a student of their craft. That person is Loretta. Loretta has decades of experience in psychotherapy and holistic medicine, but what stood out to me was her insistence that “the medicine [is] the teacher.” Seeing herself as a guide allows for fluidity in each individual’s experience, and emphasizing the medicine as the teacher reflects both her humility and professionalism. We can set intentions, and we can have expectations, but with Loretta guiding you, as she says, “the medicine will give you what you need.”

I was blessed being introduced to Loretta in a moment of crisis and our journey continued well beyond. I truly benefitted from Loretta’s experience and wheel house of approaches depending on what I brought to our sessions. This allowed me to dig deeper and sit in thoughts and feelings I had buried or hadn’t be ready to face previously Throughout our journey I felt held, understood and never judged. Loretta worked with me so I had the techniques to support my emotional responses to life between our sessions, many of which I still use months after we finished working together. I benefitted from Loretta’s flexible approach to our sessions which I needed as a working mother. Our sessions were via zoom and which worked very well. Whilst this phase of my therapy has come to an end, I know who I will call in the future, I am forever grateful for the journey I was taken on with Loretta,

Before I started working with Loretta, I was anxious, disoriented in life, and trying my hardest to stay out of debilitating depression. I felt heartbroken and alone in my pursuit of mental health.
I thought, “Therapy would be great if I could find someone that actually helped.”
Since working with Loretta I’ve found consistent freedom from anxiety and depression and our session is often a highlight of my week. She doesn’t just let me ramble, but she points out my patterns and encourages me towards the person I want to be. Even more remarkably, I think a big part of my growth has come from just being in her healing presence.

Loretta bring a rare combination of deep expertise and genuine empathy to her work. Her highly personal 1:1 approach created a space where I felt understood, supported and challenged in the right ways. She helped me meaningfully tame my anxieties and develop a stronger sense of clarity and control. I’m truly grateful for her guidance and impact

I came to my deep dive therapeutic journey/retreat with Loretta seeking answers and direction. At the time, I felt stuck and somewhat lost, despite having built a successful, happy life that many would consider fulfilling. We set intentions around finding clarity and guidance, but what unfolded was something far more profound and unexpected.
I have always approached life in a functional, structured, and planned way, often operating more from my mind than from my heart. During the session, I was taken on a deeply internal journey that reconnected me with a part of myself I hadn't fully realized was missing. At one point, I clearly heard the words, "We are giving you your heart back."
What followed was extraordinary. A great light seemed to open up, and I experienced a depth of love unlike anything I have ever known. It was overwhelming, beautiful, and transformative. Rather than finding the answers I thought I was looking for, I found something much more valuable—a reconnection to my heart, to love, and to myself.
The experience has stayed with me and continues to influence how I see my life. It reminded me that while success and achievement are important, true fulfilment comes from living with an open heart. I am deeply grateful to Loretta for creating a safe and supportive space for such a profound journey.

I found Loretta at a moment of profound personal turmoil. My family was in crisis, and my identity felt shattered. I needed someone to help me make sense of a life. I no longer recognized. As I struggled to see beyond the grief and pain of the moment, Loretta’s calm and compassionate guidance helped illuminate a path. Not the linear path forward I thought I wanted, but something much more powerful. Loretta‘s integrative approach to therapy allowed for a more organic exploration of my past and present”.
In this way, I was able to begin the long process of envisioning a new future. My days on custom retreat with Loretta was spiritually illuminating and deeply transformative. I felt safe and held at every step in the process. I am forever grateful to Loretta for helping me navigate my way out of crisis and into a place of continued healing”

I have worked with Loretta for over five years, and I can honestly say that working with her has completely changed my life. When I first met her, I was struggling with severe alcoholism and was in a place where I felt I had very little to no direction, no real purpose, and little hope for what my future could become.
Through psychedelic-assisted therapy, Loretta has guided me with incredible gentleness, compassion, and unwavering support. Over the years, I have transformed into a women who is independent, secure, self-sufficient, and living a life I am truly proud of.
I am deeply grateful for everything she has helped me become.

I really enjoyed working with Loretta. I did a couples therapy psychedelic assisted day with her and had her as my therapist and our couples therapist ongoing. I love how she brings in spiritual elements into therapy and grounded me as the session started, as sometimes I forget to do that. She is a beautiful soul with incredible expertise, would highly recommend working with her, particularly if you want someone that isn’t a run of the mill therapist and understands spirituality more!

I’ve worked with many therapists and healing practitioners over the years, but Loretta is truly in a category of her own.
What makes her exceptional isn’t just her extensive knowledge across multiple therapeutic modalities it’s her ability to intuitively know what you need in the moment! She seamlessly integrates different approaches in a way that feels natural, personalized, and deeply transformative. Every session feels less like following a protocol and more like being guided exactly where your nervous system, mind, and soul need to go.
I’ve experienced profound healing through our work together. She has helped me process trauma, uncover unconscious patterns, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t know were possible. She doesn’t simply help you understand your wounds she helps you move through them.

Working with Loretta was a profound joy that rooted the entire experience in a foundation of growth and understanding. Her consistent support before during and after our work together helped the learnings stick. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Just realized that this is the longest I’ve gone in years without being a self harm risk. And it’s due to the work I’ve been able to do with you. Thank you so much for working with me, I will never forget your support, care and always with genuine heart.
James S. — California
Just know, I'm thinking about you and just so grateful for all the lessons that I have gotten through my time working with you So much of it merged itself over and over and over again and there's so much internalized because if you were gifts and you were presence and your care and your energy and attention that you had given it to me And that's one piece.

Dear Loretta,
I have reflected deeply on our time together. The insights I gained about how much I adore my husband came through so clearly, yet there has also been tremendous frustration in our partnership.
I am so grateful for the insights we shared while with you. At this moment, I believe they are the glue keeping us together. If I weren’t so absolutely certain of his love, faith, and loyalty to me in our relationship, I think I would have decided to leave.
I am sending you this note to express my gratitude. Please know how valuable your work is.
Thank you.

Thank you angel (you truly are an earth angel) and I firmly believe that we were brought together for a reason not just the hard stuff I’m working through or the projectile vomiting😂😂😂
I feel so blessed to have found you, you changed my life for the better Love you!!!

I cannot recommend Loretta Gold highly enough. What truly sets her apart is that she understands that a psychedelic journey is so much more than the experience itself. She thoughtfully guides clients through every stage of the process from meaningful intention setting, to creating a safe and skillfully structured psilocybin journey, to the equally important integration work afterward, where lasting transformation takes shape.
Loretta brings a rare combination of deep expertise, genuine compassion, and exceptional interpersonal skills. She has a remarkable ability to make people feel seen, supported, and safe while navigating profoundly personal experiences. Her knowledge, presence, and integrity distinguish her from others in this field, and it’s clear that she approaches this work with both professionalism and heart. Anyone seeking this kind of healing experience would be in incredibly capable hands with Loretta. She helped me move through childhood trauma, develop a profound connection to our earth, learn the beautiful skill of letting go of dead weight, and what I love most about her is her outstanding laugh and personality. Thank you Loretta for changing my life.

Dearest Loretta,
Just to say that the day I met you was one of the luckiest of my life! I really mean that!
It has been a privilege and an honor to have worked with you all of these years.
I have known Loretta Gold since 2019. She has been my therapist since then. We began with regular weekly sessions which lasted for a few years and we now speak sporadically whenever I feel the need to touch base with a trusted ear and am seeking good and sound advice.
I was a shell of a person when I met Loretta. I had come out of a fifteen year abusive relationship. I had lost my very essence. She held my hand as I rebuilt my life and myself.
She was my rock. She listened, she heard, she believed and she guided me. I cannot say in enough words how grateful and lucky I was to find her.
I could not have gotten through such a difficult time in my life without her. It was the first time I had ever met anyone who cared enough about me to support me. She did this with endless patience and clarity and kindness.
After years of working together I have to say she never fails to bring new tools to the session, no 2 sessions are ever the same, she works so intuitively & creatively, so when I feel blocked she helps to show me what I can’t think.
She has tried to teach me boundaries and to honor and value myself.
As a therapist she is second to none and I could not recommend her highly enough.
As a person, she is like her name. She is pure Gold.
It has been an honor and a privilege to know her and to work on myself with her.
I absolutely love her, revere her and Thank her deeply
Sincerely,
Natalie Duke
My wife and I had been considering doing a deep therapeutic couples retreat together for a couple of years, but we never felt completely comfortable until we met Loretta. From the very beginning, she made us feel safe and supported, guiding us with remarkable skill and intuition. She seemed to know exactly when to step in and when to simply hold space, allowing each of us to experience profound personal breakthroughs while deepening our connection as a couple. The insights and changes from our time with her continue to shape our relationship and our lives today.

I have had the pleasure of working with Loretta for 6+ years now, with our sessions continuing to be an incremental part, and somewhat of a north star for my on-going development and overall mental health.
Since day 1, Loretta has continued to guide me through the most testing transitions and seismic shifts in my life.
Our sessions have ranged from (but not limited to): working through two significant work related burnouts with the overarching goal of returning to work and life safely, understanding depression and its triggers, anxiety coping methods, nurturing difficult and strained relationships to the point of healing and a greater aptitude and understanding for wellness and mental health as a whole.
When I look back on the past 6 years, I attribute alot of my success and wellbeing to Loretta. We have been on an epic and undulating journey, but one that continues to be fulfilling, educational and inspiring.
For any entrepreneur, creative colleague or growth mindset individual, Loretta is the perfect match to guide you on your way, make sense of your internal struggles and succeed.
I look forward to our sessions, and our continued work together in the years to come.
Thank you Loretta,

The first thing that I loved about Loretta was that it didn’t feel like she was trying to convince me. She was very open about her personal experiences and the fact that doing a 2 day deep dive retreat into a therapeutic process might not be for everyone.
Once I decided to move forward with the experience the questions she asked helped set clear intentions. This kept me grounded during the experience. Very professional yet very comforting. This clarity and comfort continued throughout the process itself. By my side when I needed help or an ear but also knew when I needed space. A true guide through and through.
The follow up was just as special as the session. Trying to better understand what was learned and the importance of the work that comes after. She was very adamant about the action after.
I genuinely feel like i made a new friend. Loretta truly enjoys helping others. Her actions and vibe speak for themselves. I’d recommend her service to anyone thinking of exploring this method of healing and self knowledge. It has helped me immensely. 💜

Working with Loretta has changed my life!
From the first session, there was a warmth about her that made me feel safe. She listens. She genuinely cares. She also has a rare gift for distilling something overwhelming into one clear thing you can actually do, offering the perspective and practical steps that shift your whole mindset.
She has been a rock through my relationship struggles, deeply skilled at navigating our dynamic and holding space for both of us. Because of her, I am getting the tools needed to step back and make choices from the healthiest, clearest part of myself.

Loretta helped me to gain a deeper understanding of my partner by relating our very different childhoods and their resultant behavioral patterns in a practical way that I could understand in depth and integrate into my everyday, working perspective on the relationship.
