Jessica Block, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Provider

Jessica is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in upstate New York with a deep commitment to healing that honors both the mind and the unseen landscapes within us. After many years of working within traditional mental health systems and serving as project director for a community-based mental health program, she recognized that true transformation requires more than symptom management; it invites us to tap into the wisdom of the body and the unconscious.

Her travels and professional exploration led her to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic medicine, therapeutic pathways that open access to expanded consciousness and the brain’s innate neuroplasticity. Jessica is passionate about the responsible and ethical use of these medicines, with intentional preparation, integration, and a respect for the psyche’s natural pace of healing.

Drawing from affective neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and somatic processing, she helps clients release stored emotional experiences and reconnect with their inner truth. Within a relational psychodynamic framework, she incorporates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and parts work as intuitive companions to the healing process.

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

“Menla is so breathtakingly gorgeous, situated on an indigenous sacred land where its magnetic field is very strong… I have so many beautiful photos of the campus from my hikes at dawn on the property, mostly photos capturing the sunrise and the light rays shimmering iridescently on various aspects of nature. I took almost a thousand photos in my short stay there! Truly breathtaking! Even capturing the miracle of having a doe and her fawns surrounding me just several feet away from me!”

Priscila Espinosa

“Homerun. One of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. Was an incredible treat especially to have so much access to Krishna Das, and I will never forget the Robert Thurman’s hysterical and insightful words. Incredibly inspiring and powerful weekend!”
