About Dr. Lisa Gold
Integrative relationship, sex, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist with 29+ years of clinical practice.
Who Is Dr. Lisa Gold
For nearly three decades, I've sat with couples and individuals navigating the hardest moments of their lives — grief, trauma, infidelity, identity, and the quiet existential questions that arrive in midlife. My work blends the rigor of evidence-based psychotherapy with the depth of somatic, transpersonal, and psychedelic medicine.
Professional Experience
I am the founder and clinical director of the Arizona Relationship & Family Institute and a clinical partner at Clinica Synaptica. I train and supervise therapists nationally and internationally in both Emotionally Focused Therapy and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.
Soul Surfing Approach
Soul Surfing is my unique approach to both psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and sex therapy. Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)as a therapist and supervisor, EFT serves as the foundational model for Soul Surfing, integrating interventions from trauma-informed and attachment-based models with neuroscience, holistic treatment modalities, and transpersonal psychology.

Ketamine Integrative Emotionally Focused Therapy:
Reset & Reconnect with Yourself & with Your Loved Ones
Sometimes, therapy alone is not enough…
Ketamine Integrative EFT is ushering in a new era in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families (18+). Exiting the pain of PTSD, depression, and anxiety no longer has to be hard or take so long. Pivoting into lasting change is more possible now than ever before.
Our survival instincts are incredibly powerful. They activate protective perceptions and responses to defend against what we do not want. They are designed to be powerful to keep us alive. However, there is so much more to life than merely being alive.
Developing the ability to consciously exit reactive trauma responses can free you to reroute your energy — your time, attention, physical strength, etc. — to focus on creating what you want. Rather than remaining stuck in defending against what you don’t want, with the support of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, you can develop the ability to consciously choose new response patterns to help you feel good to be alive.
Most Ketamine Therapists Are Only Trained to Work with Individuals…
As a relationship therapist certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, who is also certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, Dr. Gold has developed effective protocols for working with individuals, couples, and families with adult children integrating psychedelic medicine with the most effective trauma-informed and relational therapies.
You Are Not Your Trauma
You are not your trauma. Your past does not have to define your future. With the right support, you can exit the old painful patterns and shift into creating the love and life you desire.
It would be my honor to support you with this process.
