Catalyst for Healing, the Podcast

Hosted by Maria Lloyd, LMFT

Pull up a seat for real, raw conversations about trauma, transformation, nervous system regulation and building a life rooted in purpose.

Catalyst for Healing is a sacred space where Maria shares the mic with clinicians, experts, and everyday people navigating the deep work of becoming. With 24 years of experience and a passion for neuroscience, attachment and psychedelic integration, Maria brings honesty, heart, and depth to every episode.

Whether you're in the thick of your healing or just beginning to question what’s next—this podcast is here to support your authentic self.

My Approach: Holistic, Personalized, and Attachment-Focused

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why I blend evidence-based modalities with soul-centered intuition to tailor therapy to your unique story. At the core of my work is attachment therapy—the belief that healing begins in safe, attuned relationships.

Depending on your goals, our work may include:

Brainspotting (attachment based form of EMDR)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Somatic therapy (body-based release)
Hypnotherapy (change through the subconscious)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration
Coaching & future-oriented growth work

Whether you’re navigating long-held trauma, anxious thought loops, or longing for deeper connection—I meet you where you are and hold space for your emerging self.

Who I Work With

I work with adult individuals (18+) who are:

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and empaths
Recovering from narcissistic abuse or toxic relationships
Experiencing depression, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm
Seeking integration after psychedelics or ketamine-assisted therapy
In transition—grieving, rebuilding, or rediscovering themselves

You don’t need to have the words. You just need to show up. Together, we’ll untangle the patterns, peel back the protective layers, and begin the work of healing in a way that honors your pace and your power.
