This section contains information about a legally prescribed psychedelic medication that is commonly incorporated into the integrative healing and growth services described on this website. In an effort to protect the public, promote informed decision-making, and support safe and ethical use of this medication, current regulations require that certain disclosures be reviewed and acknowledged before accessing more detailed information. We invite you to review the information below before continuing.
By acknowledging this notice, you confirm:
- 1.You are at least 18 years of age.
- 2.Ketamine is a prescription medication. It must be prescribed, administered, and medically overseen by a licensed medical provider acting within their legal scope of practice. Dr. Lisa Gold does not prescribe, dispense, administer, or provide medical clearance for medication. She collaborates with independent licensed medical providers who are responsible for all medical evaluation, prescribing, and administration decisions.
- 3.Dr. Gold provides psychotherapy only in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Hawaii. In all other locations — including international work — her services are limited to coaching, consultation, educational programming, retreat facilitation, preparation and integration support, and professional training. These are not psychotherapy or medical treatment.

Viewing it does not establish a therapist-client, coach-client, supervisory, or medical relationship. Participation in any service does not guarantee access to ketamine or any other psychedelic medicine.
- 5.Laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and may change. Decisions regarding medical appropriateness, prescribing, and administration are made solely by the licensed medical provider overseeing your care.
- 6.This website is not intended for emergencies or psychiatric crises. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a licensed crisis provider immediately.
How Coaching Differs from Therapy
It's Not Therapy
Coaching doesn't treat mental health conditions — it's for people who are basically doing well but want to do better. No diagnosis needed.
No Geographic Limits
Dr. Gold's therapy practice is restricted to states where she holds a license. Coaching isn't. If you have wifi, we can work together.
Real, Practical Work
Sessions focus on what you want to change — how you communicate, how you handle hard moments, what you actually want your life to look like.
If you’re dealing with serious trauma, depression, or anxiety that’s affecting daily life, therapy is probably a better starting point. Dr. Gold will tell you honestly if that’s the case — and help you find someone good.

A Note from Dr. Gold
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
The people I work with in coaching aren’t broken. They’re smart, capable, and tired of spinning their wheels. Something in their life isn’t working — a relationship, a career, a version of themselves they’ve outgrown — and they want real support figuring out what to do about it.
I’ve spent 25 years in a therapy room learning what actually helps people change. I bring all of that into coaching — the same curiosity, the same honesty, the same commitment to helping you get somewhere real. Just without the clinical framework.
I’d love to talk.
The Soul Surfing Workbook
A companion resource to the coaching work — tools, reflections, and practices to help you integrate what you’re learning between sessions.
