Testimonials for Dr. Leslie Drapiza
-
“Gather as a concept is evolving in such beautiful and inspiring ways. It’s clear that community is at the heart of the space, nurtured by the visionaries who bring it to life. My facilitator, Leslie, is one of those visionaries. Warm, genuine, and deeply attuned, Leslie created an environment where I could open up and explore aspects of myself that had long been hidden. Through the guided psilocybin experience, I was able to listen to my inner knowing, deepen my connection to self, and expand my awareness. While journeying through the darker, more unfamiliar parts of myself, I felt supported—never alone. That safety allowed me to emerge with a greater appreciation for those shadowy places and the wisdom they hold. The experience was a powerful reminder that healing and growth come from embracing all parts of ourselves.”

"My experience with Leslie and the team at Gather far exceeded my every expectation. As a healthcare provider it was important for me to feel comfortable and safe. I have a history of trauma while under the influence of mind altering substances, and a trauma-informed compassionate center was very important to me. The interactions from start to finish were professional and reassuring. Leslie made me feel like I was on the right path and helped me develop an intention for the experience that allowed me to feel completely at ease. She carefully listened to every detail of my story and even brought items to help me with expression during my journey (paints, pens, a journal). "
