Greetings,
I’m Dee Lafferty, MSSW, LCSW. With two decades of nurturing individuals towards better wellness, I am passionately dedicated to unlocking clients’ innate potential, which is why I opened Inner Guidance Services Inc. Beyond my enriching work with psychedelic experiences, I offer therapeutic support at my serene private practice in the heart of Albany, Oregon. When the day’s work is done, the joy of my family and the delightful company of my three malti-poos keeps me grounded. It’s a privilege to journey with you. Welcome.

Hello. I am pleased that you are considering a psilocybin experience with me. I bring to my work with you a sense of respect, wonder, and trust. I have a calm, open and supportive presence.
I was among the first wave of Psilocybin Facilitators licensed by the Oregon Health Authority and began to work in this capacity in August of 2023. It has been a whirlwind of change and learning. In addition to working with individuals at Life Trek, I was a co-facilitator for the Integrative Psychiatry Institute providing group practicum/experientials for their Psychedelic Assisted Therapy students from all over the world. In that capacity, I accompanied over 150 people on their journeys with psilocybin. I have a special interest in helping to customize a psilocybin playlist specific to your sensibilities and preferences.
I have worked as a Social Worker in hospice and palliative care since 2011. I got my BA from St John’s College, “The Great Books Program” and my Masters in Social Work from Portland State. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015. I am a mother to two amazing teenagers and I live with my family in rural Oregon in a house that we have been building around ourselves. I enjoy reading, writing, music, travel, friends and family, and the outdoors. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
I do this work because it feeds my soul. It allows me to witness humanity at its best – simultaneously both vulnerable and powerful. I consider it an honor and a privilege to earn your trust and to accompany you into this magical and sacred healing realm.
“When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things.” John O’Donohue.

Amy Koehlinger (she/her) is an educator with over 25 years of experience in post-secondary and graduate settings. She holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Yale University, and an M.A. in U.S. History from the University of Oregon. Amy researches, writes, and teaches about historical intersections of religious experience and structures of power in the United States. She became interested in the therapeutic use of psilocybin through teaching about the neurology of religion. Amy trained in psilocybin facilitation through InnerTrek and was a member of the first graduating class of trained psilocybin facilitators in Oregon. In the 1990s, before her current career, Amy worked in the field of HIV/AIDS and retains from that experience a commitment to both LGBTQ equity and also to compassionate and empowered approaches to end-of-life, including the therapeutic use of psilocybin as part of hospice care.

Licensed Facilitator
(she/her)
I am a psychology student at Oregon State University. I’m excited to be part of this amazing team to bring connection and healing to our local community and beyond. When I’m not working, I love playing with my two chihuahuas, cooking with my family and meditating. I am training to be a facilitator and look forward to working with clients soon.
Liv (Olivia) Dye, BSN, RN
Licensed Facilitator
(she/her)
My experience prior to finding psilocybin services has been in healthcare. Initially, I worked as a nurse assistant and for the last five years as an ICU Nurse. I grew up on the coast in Newport but have made Albany home.
I have a personal commitment to my clients to provide a safe setting in which inner potential can be discovered. I specifically hope to be a safe haven for clients of all backgrounds and professions to be able to explore psilocybin without fear of workforce retaliation. Creating a safe container for your psilocybin experience will help you begin your psilocybin journey with the knowledge that client/ facilitator confidentiality is of utmost importance. I am honored to be a part of your experience, and I look forward to facilitating you in the near future.

Permitted Worker
As someone who has lived in the Corvallis-Albany area since I was in grade school, I’ve grown attached to our community and the people within it. I hope with Inner Guidance I can work to help people like me who have had struggles with mental health and want to do better. In my off hours I can be found pursuing music performance and collecting, and spending time with my friends and loved ones.

Elizabeth Finch
Licensed Facilitator
My Professional Background: I have been a bodyworker and instructor of meditation and breathwork since 1991. I have traveled the world discovering healing modalities from a variety of cultures. I have had a massage practice in Corvallis since 2020. I use a combination of meditation and breathwork from my training in Watsu, Shiatsu, and Amanae. I received my license in Psilocybin Facilitation April 2024. I have a deep connection to the deep properties of psilocybin. In 2000 I went to Brazil to study Shamanism, which is the path of self-discovery. I have walked this path of the night of the dark soul and believe it is a privilege to support others in their healing process.
My Mission: I would like to create a healing community for veterans and their spouse’s to thrive and provide them with supervised access to psilocybin treatments.
My Personal History: I was born into a military family. Both my grandfather and father served in the Air Force. My husband was a veteran of the Coast Guard. I have a deep commitment to serve my community to the best of my ability. I was drawn to the healing properties of psilocybin for my own grieving after my husband committed suicide.
My Favorite Quote is an excerpt from James Meyer’s Live Like You Mean it: Reimagining Your Purpose and Vocation, summarizes my belief system: “Each of us needs to bushwhack our own trail up the mountain of life that leads to spiritual awakening and, with it, true meaning. One of the greatest barriers to living a life of meaning is the false notion that our purpose will come to us as a revelation rather than through journey and discovery. We have to be pilgrims walking the path, getting dust in our throats and blisters on our feet.”
My interests while not working are to be creative through art and gardening. I love going to museums, botanical gardens, hiking and the serenity of the ocean.
