Leslie Drapiza, MD (she/her), is a board-certified Family Medicine physician.

After working in primary care for over 15 years, I have witnessed our community struggle with worsening anxiety and depression, exacerbated exponentially by the Covid-19 pandemic. I watched my patients try and fail numerous conventional treatments and began looking for a different way. I found the research on psychedelics too encouraging to ignore. I decided to pivot my career to focus on providing mental health treatment in the form of psychedelic assisted therapy. I believe you cannot effectively heal the body and ignore the health of the mind and spirit. Just like our body knows how to heal itself, so do our powerful minds. We just get stuck sometimes. I am committed to expanding access to those who have barriers to care and have been disadvantaged by our broken medical system. I look forward to partnering with you, to help you reconnect your mind, body and spirit and discover your potential for healing.
