Clinical Design Consulting

As the field of psychedelic therapy grows, so does the need for spaces that are not only safe and functional, but deeply supportive of the healing process. Grounded in academic research and practical design experience, East&West Design offers consulting services for clinics, researchers, wellness entrepreneurs, and design firms seeking to create environments that truly care for the mind and body.

What I Offer

As a consultant, I work alongside your existing design team, or help guide you in early project stages, to integrate evidence-informed design strategies grounded in current research on:

  • Salutogenic environments (spaces that support wellbeing)

  • Biophilic design

  • Sensory regulation and spatial safety

  • Color, material, and pattern theory in altered states

  • Environmental considerations for preparation, journey, and integration

Whether you’re building a new clinic, planning a research setting, or rethinking a retreat space, I act as a bridge between therapeutic intent and design execution.

Who This Is For

  • Psychedelic therapy clinics and facilitators

  • Mental health researchers and institutions

  • Architects and interior designers seeking domain expertise

  • Wellness and retreat spaces exploring altered-state modalities

How It Works

Consulting is offered on a project-based or hourly basis, depending on your needs.

Available services include:

  • Early-stage concept advising

  • Spatial programming + needs assessment

  • Research summaries + briefing packages

  • Collaboration with architects, interior designers, or branding teams

  • Design review + written recommendations

  • Speaking or educational sessions for your team

Rates: Starting at $175/hour or $1,200/project

Why This Matters

Design can’t replace therapy, but it can support it.

My academic work and professional practice explore how interior design can actively enhance safety, trust, and transformation in clinical and therapeutic settings. I bring that lens to every consultation, so your space can do more than look good.

It can feel right.
