Wallace Murray

Wallace Murray is a psychodynamic therapist and group facilitator who blends somatic and mindfulness practices with carefully titrated work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. 

Guided by the maxim that “healing is relational,” he helps clients map and revise their embodied narratives, drawing on contemporary neuroscience, First Nation–informed protocols, and shadow-work techniques. His recent graduate research examines how pharmacological mechanisms and relational/social dynamics intersect in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

A multidisciplinary career also influences Wallace’s clinical approach. As a consultant, project lead, and experiential-learning facilitator, he has managed programs that integrate people development, research, and organizational strategy, skills he applies when applicable.
