Meet the MDMA Project Team: Aimee Copeland
Aimee Copeland is a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults and couples impacted by childhood trauma, anxiety and panic, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, low self esteem, and grief/loss.
Aimeeās work is informed by her studies in transpersonal psychology at the University of West Georgia (MA), which focused on ecopsychology and nonordinary states of consciousness. Here, Aimee developed a deep trust in the inner healing intelligence and primacy of experience, and felt called to work with plant medicine and psychedelics in particular. She also holds an MSW from Valdosta State University.
Aimee utilizes a variety of modalities with clients such as mindfulness, hypnotherapy, internal family systems, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, somatic psychotherapy, neurolinguistic programming and dialectical behavior therapy. Her certifications include Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Provider, and Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (200 hour). Aimee has completed training through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) to provide MDMA-assisted therapy to individuals with PTSD. Aimee also currently facilitates Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and is working toward her post-graduate certificate in KAP through Fluence Training.
