Overview
Dr. Jennifer Guo is a board-certified psychiatrist with a passion for exploring innovative treatments for mental health conditions. Holding both an MD from Yale School of Medicine and a PhD in Neuroscience, Dr. Guo’s journey into the realm of psychedelic medicine began during her residency at UCSF, where she witnessed the profound healing power of these substances from the lived experience of her patients and the promising research on psychedelics for treating depression, PTSD, addiction, and anxiety.
After completing her residency, Dr. Guo pursued additional training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and interventional psychiatry, working closely with leading practitioners and educators in the field.
