I am Cheri McDonald Ph.D., LMFT, PATP, a creative visionary with a passion for healing individuals, families, and communities. Drawing from my 35-year private psychotherapy practice at A Place To Turn, I've cultivated wisdom and knowledge that form the foundation of my Holistic Integral Training (HIT). This modality leads to profound, long-lasting healing in the mind, body, and spirit. I stand as a holistic leader and mentor in the mental health realm. With the transformation of the world today and the increasing need to provide healing for the most complex times, I have founded Alternative Place 2 Turn, LLC..
I provide holistic and ketamine-assisted healing retreats in addition to leadership and mentoring, fostering life-changing experiences. In addition, I provide class and group forums for continuing assistance. We explore the promise of psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAT) and embrace the power of holistic healing for the well-being of our clients.
At retreats, we provide a safe and nurturing environment for individuals seeking transformative experiences. We continue guidance with our certified PAT providers to ensure a solid foundation for healing and self-discovery. In our efforts to ensure care & continuity of care, we encourage visiting our practice APTT for our skilled team of insurance providers.
