Meet Dr. John!
Hello! I’m John J. Murphy, Ph.D. a psychologist located in San Diego, CA. I am a clinical psychologist (PSY22783) who specializes in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as well as psychedelic therapy in general. I help individuals with mood disorders, often with a focus on social skill development. I tend to work with young adults both in the San Diego area and throughout California (via Zoom!)
As a founding member and clinical supervisor in Los Angeles, I’ve specialized in the fear of flying, appearing on CNN and CBS’s daytime medical show: “The Doctors” and served as a clinical consultant for the A&E program “Airline.”
Here is the clip, below!
I’m a founding member of the California Psychedelic Therapy Association (later merged into the Psychedelic medicine association) with
experience in administering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy both in person and
in remote settings.
I’ve also been trained in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MCBT).
To learn more about my prospective on counseling and therapy, visit the therapy section of my website. Through the years, I’ve written continuing education courses on a diverse range of topics from mindfulness & meditation to ethics & cross cultural issues.
I’ve taught classes in phobias, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness based stress reduction, working with individuals looking to quit smoking through the “The Last Drag” program at the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center in West Hollywood, as part of my pre-doctoral internship program.
My non-clinical interests include hiking, poker, and pastry baking. If you’re interested in therapy either in person or online, feel free to contact me with any questions you have or to set an appointment.
