Richard Pelfrey, MS, LMHC, LADAC

Richard Pelfrey has been holding space for the resolution and reintegration of trauma and addictions of all forms for the past 12 years. He started his career in non-profit treatment facilities working under the traditional “Johnson Model” of inpatient care.  While becoming licensed as an addictions counselor, Richard heard the call to expand his work with people beyond traditional models and began exploring alternative methods for the resolution of trauma. This journey has led to many different modalities, including the Superhealth Kundalini Yoga training for addictions. Richard is also trained and certified as a Trauma, Grief and Renewal therapist through SWC.  In addition, Richard is certified as a meditation leadership trainer from the Sage Institute, led by Sensai Sean Murphy of the White Plum lineage of Zen Buddhism.  Alongside these these credentials, Richard is trained and certified in Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Wim Hoff method, and Brainspotting, and incorporates all of these modalities as well as a decade of apprenticeship in the Toltec wisdom path and traditional earth-based ceremony in his focused work with individuals and groups for the purpose of healing and finding our highest joy and artistry in life.
