Robert DeSalvo, LCSW

Thanks for coming to the Nashville Psychedelic Center website. To tell you a bit about myself, I have over a decade of psychedelic experience with a wide variety of medicines. I was the first person in TN to be trained to provide MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy and have been pioneering the medicinal use of psychedelics in Middle Tennessee. Along with this, I have 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist where I work with a wide variety of issues including helping with the anxiety and depression caused by past trauma or rough childhoods, men’s issues, and secular counseling. Generally, I help my clients feel more at peace with themselves and others, more fulfilled and wholesome in relationships, and increased confidence and zest for life.

I utilize a variety of techniques, including EMDR, CBT, IFS, SE (2025), inner child work, Buddhist psychology, MBSR, assertiveness training, mood management, anxiety reduction, empowerment and work/life balance.

I am believer in holistic treatment and the connection between the mind and the body.  I encourage my clients to pursue body connected activities like yoga, mindful exercise, or deep breathing.
