Are you looking for a therapist who deeply understands OCD, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and how to integrate psychedelic experiences? My name is Terence Ching, and I am a Yale clinical psychologist and the founder of Chimera Pathways. Chimera Pathways is a psychotherapy telepractice built on over 15 years of cutting-edge research that I have personally conducted. Here, mental health problems are reframed as opportunities for self-compassion, self-empowerment, values-oriented behavioral change, and personal growth. Chimera Pathways offers services to individuals in PSYPACT-participating states.
I provide high-quality, evidence-based, integrative, culturally attuned, and queer-/trans-affirming cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. As a leader in the psychedelic therapy space, I also offer psychedelic/ketamine integration services at Chimera Pathways.
The Chimera Pathways logo is the lynchpin for our work, symbolizing the hybridity of our chimeric identities, our ability to hold space for dialectical states, and alternate possibilities we can seize in the face of mental health challenges. The logo reminds us to approach our problems from creative vantage points vs. remaining stuck in rigid patterns.

Dr. Ching is one of the most expansive clinical thinkers I have ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with, a true visionary in a field that is sorely lacking in depth, creativity, and presence. Highly recommend!

Therapy begins with treatment planning to establish current problems and corresponding goals. In later sessions, integrative CBT and ACT skills and strategies are learned, absorbed, and enacted, to maintain benefits post-treatment. Integration sessions can be added to process profound psychedelic/ketamine experiences in service of integrating meaningful insights into one's life moving forward.
