Mikki Vogt, LPC, LAC, NMCF
Co-Founder of NeuroAlchemy
-
Mikki Vogt, LPC, LAC, NMCF is a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and educator specializing in integrative approaches to mental health and psychedelic-assisted therapy. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals through trauma recovery, addiction, and spiritual emergence, Mikki blends clinical precision with reverence for the sacred in her work as a clinical facilitator, trainer, and community leader.
She is the co-author of Colorado’s Standardized Safety Screening and Response Tool, a foundational protocol designed to promote ethical integrity and participant safety in altered states work. Her leadership in developing this framework has informed both state and national conversations on responsible psychedelic facilitation. Mikki also contributed to policy development for Colorado’s state-regulated Natural Medicine Program, helping to shape guidelines that balance accessibility, cultural humility, and public safety. Her policy work reflects a commitment to collaboration among mental health professionals, community advocates, and regulatory bodies to advance the integrity of this emerging field.
As a co-founder of Colorado’s first licensed healing center, and a co-founder of the state's newest healing center, NeuroAlchemy, Mikki helped bring the state’s visionary natural medicine framework to life. Through this pioneering effort, she has supported the creation of safe, inclusive, and ethical environments for transformational healing within a regulated system.
Mikki is also the developer of Colorado's first Facilitator Training Practicum that bridges the gap between theory and applied practice for emerging natural medicine facilitators. She leads ongoing consultation groups for practitioners, offering mentorship in ethical decision-making, trauma-informed care, and integration practices. Her work fosters a culture of reflective professionalism, attunement, and accountability among those serving in the field of altered states and natural medicine.
Grounded in her background as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor, Mikki holds advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and trauma-informed care. These modalities form the clinical foundation of her work, informing every aspect of her facilitation and supervision.
As a natural medicine facilitator, Mikki’s approach weaves together neuroscience, somatic awareness, and deep respect for the mystery of transformation. Her facilitation style blends clinical expertise with ceremonial sanctity, honoring the sacredness of the medicine while grounding the experience in evidence-based therapeutic methods. A distinctive element of her practice is the use of olfactory pairing, a technique that harnesses the brain’s heightened neuroplasticity during psilocybin sessions. By pairing specific scents with moments of profound healing, clients create sensory anchors they can revisit during integration—extending and deepening the impact of their journeys.
Mikki’s private practice, SisuWell, reflects this synthesis of science and soul. Named for the Finnish word sisu—an embodied form of resilience, courage, and perseverance—SisuWell embodies the qualities Mikki seeks to cultivate in her clients: not only the illumination of insight but the enduring strength and trust in one’s capacity for healing and transformation. Her work at SisuWell centers on helping individuals embody their healing, reconnect with their innate wisdom, and integrate transformative experiences into daily life.
Through her clinical work, teaching, and policy advocacy, Mikki continues to champion the development of a safe, ethical, and inclusive ecosystem for natural medicine work in Colorado and beyond. She bridges worlds—clinical and ceremonial, personal and systemic, sacred and scientific—inviting others to participate in the ongoing evolution of psychedelic-assisted care.
Mikki’s professional vision is rooted in compassion, presence, and respect for the mystery of healing. Whether developing safety frameworks, guiding a client through trauma integration, or mentoring facilitators in reflective practice, she brings forward a consistent ethos: that transformation flourishes when care is grounded in integrity, humility, and heart. -

Vince Bruno, LPC, NMCF
Co-Founder of NeuroAlchemy
-
My personal experiences with psilocybin have created a deeply respectful relationship with psychedelics as a healing tool for those with treatment-resistant issues. I approach each client with curiosity and attentiveness to their perceptions and experiences, creating a partnership aimed at healing and growth.
Professional Background and Interests
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18+ years of experience as a trauma therapist serving active duty and veterans, I've specialized as a play therapist with neurodivergent populations and a decade of work as a state-approved domestic violence treatment provider. This work has provided me with a lens to identify symptoms of trauma at all ages and stages of development. I have experience with somatic and sensory work that applies to the use of psilocybin as a means of healing deep and unidentified preverbal traumas.
Approach to Psilocybin Sessions
I take a comprehensive approach to natural medicine treatment, integrating intergenerationally (family) transmitted traumas, music therapy in support of the journey, and somatic interventions to address all of the client's parts and experiences. Natural medicine work is a sacred duty on the part of the facilitator, and I have tremendous respect for the medicine and the ancient cultural traditions that have sprung from it.

Mae Podestra, NMFIT, Certified Executive Coach
-
Mae is a licensed psilocybin facilitator and certified executive and transitional intelligence coach who helps people navigate threshold moments with a blend of groundedness and wonder. She works with individuals seeking deeper meaning and authenticity in their lives, as well as those in transition - whether stepping away from careers that no longer fit, reimagining life's purpose at midlife, or breaking through patterns or beliefs that have long obscured their authentic selves.
Mae knows what it feels like to be stuck, ready for change, and in search of meaning. After two decades in corporate and startup environments, she found herself burned out and disconnected from herself. Change wasn’t linear - she rediscovered psilocybin and embarked on a spiritual journey that continues to reshape her life today. These experiences taught her that true transformation is not a single breakthrough, but the courageous, ongoing work to weave insights into everyday life.
In her practice, Mae brings a deep reverence for the medicine and a trust in its intelligence to meet people where they are. She creates containers where people feel safe, supported, and truly seen—spaces that honor both the rigor of the work and the mystery of what unfolds. Her approach weaves together intentional preparation, journey work, and the sustained support needed to integrate insights into daily life and relationships.
Mae has a particular understanding of people who've spent years achieving, optimizing, and performing—and who've arrived at the quiet question of whether there's something more. She gets the tension between wanting change and not knowing how to step off the treadmill. Her work is for those ready to move beyond surface fixes and into the deeper territory of remembering who they are beneath all the doing.
Outside of work, Mae is an avid hobby explorer who finds joy and meaning in nature, learning new things (currently trapeze), and volunteering with animal rescues. She believes that play, creativity, and connection as essential ingredients to a life fully lived.

Mae offers a package of 2 preparation sessions, an administration session, and 2 integration sessions for a cost of $1,500.
