About

Biography

Jordan Sloshower, MD, MSc is a board certified psychiatrist, researcher, and educator whose work focuses on therapeutic applications of psychedelic medicines, and in particular, how these novel treatments can be integrated with psychotherapy and other healing modalities to promote holistic healing. He is currently a faculty member in the Yale Department of Psychiatry, where he co-founded the Yale Psychedelic Science Group and served as an investigator and therapist in several clinical trials of psilocybin-assisted therapy. Jordan is co-founder and co-director of West Rock Wellness PLLC, an interdisciplinary and integrative mental health center in New Haven, CT. He is also Chief Medical Officer at Beckley Clinical, whose mission is to integrate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with holistic mental health interventions to improve patient outcomes in real-world clinical settings. Reflecting his commitment to ethical stewardship of psychedelic medicines, Jordan serves as a member of Chacruna Institute’s advisory board and was a part of the inaugural Board of Directors of the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association. Jordan’s interdisciplinary perspective is informed by prior training in medical anthropology and global health, and deep interests in ceremonial uses of plant medicines, Buddhist philosophy, and integrative approaches to wellness.
