Meika Hamisch, M.S., LMFT

 I am an LMFT who has practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years.  I have been a  trainer and educator in the areas of compassionate communication skills, psychology, cross-cultural perspectives in transpersonal healing, mindfulness, and self-compassion cultivation methods. I have intensive meditation retreat experience, serving as the resident psychotherapist. I bring my direct experience and skill-based knowledge, integrating various traditions and methods for transformation to my teaching, facilitations, and individual coaching/mentoring sessions.

My transition into facilitation and mentoring emerged organically—through a deeper calling that asked me to work beyond the limits of the clinical frame. Over time, it became clear that the healing I am here to support lives in the spaces where psyche, spirit, ancestral memory, and the natural world meet. My own journey of suffering and renewal revealed that symptoms are only doorways; true healing moves through the heart, the subtle body, the dream field, and the unseen realms that shape our lives.

Guided by this understanding, I immersed myself in complementary and indigenous healing traditions, studying with practitioners of Reiki, Feng Shui, shamanic journeying, and homeopathy. Dreams have been my lifelong teachers—vivid, initiatory, and wise—leading me to study dreamwork with several mentors, most recently Robert Moss. I now hold dream circles where the imaginal, ancestral, and mythic dimensions of one’s inner world can be safely explored.

Across all paths, one truth remains at the center: compassion and presence are alchemical forces. They soften what is hardened, illuminate what is hidden, and open pathways that no method alone can create. These qualities form the foundation of my work—an inside-out path that restores integrity, awakens intuition, and reconnects us to the greater field of life.

I am a senior certified Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT™) teacher through Stanford University’s School of Medicine (CCARE), and certified in Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. My years of intensive study with Thomas Hübl—including his two-year TWT training and Collective Trauma Facilitator Training—deepened my capacity to witness and facilitate ancestral, generational, and collective trauma within a field of presence, attunement, and subtle awareness.

I have taught retreats and workshops across California, including at UC Davis School of Medicine, on the Monterey Peninsula, and in Sacramento, and have provided consultation and training in compassionate care for healthcare systems.

Today, I offer group facilitation, individual mentoring, consultations, and training in mindfulness, compassion, embodied presence, empathetic distress (compassion fatigue), and psycho-spiritual integration. My work supports those on a path of awakening—those seeking to live from their inner truth, guided by the intelligence of the body, the wisdom of dreams, the echoes of ancestry, and the living heartbeat of the natural world.
