Our Story
While training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, it became alarmingly clear that there was a huge racial gap and little representation from sexual and gender minorities, among both clients and therapists.
Access to Doorways was founded by a Queer Black woman determined to close that gap and to support the clients, therapists and organizations who can fill it. We’ve grown into a nonprofit that builds partnerships with donors and government agencies to cover costs for clients and training for QT/BIPOC therapists.
Our Mission & Approach
Indigenous communities of color have used psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Iboga and Sassafras (bio-parent of MDMA) for thousands of years. Still, Black, Indigenous People of Color have little access to these medicines today. Funding and compensation to address wage and income disparities are key! We can’t ask QT/BIPOC therapists to work at reduced rates and we have to provide quality care to our QT/BIPOC clients in need. We hope to build partnerships with donors and government agencies to cover cost to clients while fully compensating our QT/BIPOC providers for their labor
