Hi! I’m Travis Black.

I’m a Seattle-based seeker and lifelong student of mystery.

My primary goal as a provider is to alleviate suffering—internally and externally—through practical, innovative and evidence-based approaches.

As a student/practitioner of metaphysics and spirituality for 34 years, my perspectives were shaped by engagement and initiation into traditions such as Hermetic Qabalah, Gnosticism, British Folk Magic, and several Eastern traditions.

I'm now training to be a social psychologist, and my research is all about creating practical, real-world mental health interventions for people affected by spiritual abuse and cult dynamics.

As a cult survivor, I'm dedicated to demystifying the intersection of spirituality and psychology. I work to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable individuals within this ambiguous space.

My goal is to integrate formally trained mental health care with so-called 'alternative' healing modalities and provide grounded services to the community at the highest level—without relying on unverifiable claims.
