MEET OUR FOUNDER

Hello, I’m Jessica Chacón,
The founder and steward of Sweetgrass Therapeutics. I have been a licensed professional counselor for 11 years, specializing as an integrative, eco-somatic practitioner. My style is trauma-informed and de-colonial in nature, allowing clients to shed euro-centric mindsets, safely return home to their body and move beyond pathology forward paradigms. I utilize EMDR, parts work, somatic inquiry and yogic techniques as my primary modalities. I recently completed training and consultation through the Ketamine Assisted EMDR Therapy Institute and have been a Certified Psychedelic Assisted Therapist for 2 years, receiving training from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. I have been deepening my studies in non-western ways, through returning to the my ancestry and diving into ancient Aztec teachings through mentorship and my commitment to La Danza de la Luna in Teotihuacán, Mexico.

I wear many hats and play many roles within Sweetgrass & my greater community, as I believe our mental health & well-being extends far beyond the therapy room. In my work I blend Earth-based wisdom, Indigenous & Eastern philosophies with modern science, helping humans truly integrate and embody what it means to be human on the Earth. I am passionate about bringing back a ceremonial & ritualistic aspect into mental health, supporting the spirit and soul to be nourished alongside the body and mind. As I hold space, I support clients to widen their capacity to listen and
re-member who they are and what has always been present inside their own sacred heart and vessel.

All of my offerings are integrative in nature and can include: AcuDetox (Auricular Acupuncture), Somatic Inquiry, Parts Work, EMDR, Movement, Breath, Meditation, Ritual and Energy Work.

I offer: Ketamine Assisted EMDR Sessions, EMDR & KA-EMDR Intensives, Integrative Trauma Immersions as well as 1:1 & group ceremonies that center around Breath, Kambô and Psilocybin.

Reach out to learn more, or schedule a consultation. Can’t wait to connect!
