Courtney Watson is a queer Black mother, lover, and community member based in Ohlone Lisjan territory (Oakland, California). She is descended from enslaved Africans stolen from West and Central Africa, Louisiana Chahtah, European colonizers, and their Gallic ancestors. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, she is also a medicine woman studying under African and American Indigenous Knowledge Systems. She founded Access to Doorways, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides subsidies for psychedelic treatments, training programs, and supports Queer- and BIPOC-led projects such as A Table of Our Own, an acclaimed film, and the afrocentric psychedelic protocol, SafeHouse 7. She also runs Doorway Therapeutic Services, a group practice dedicated to supporting the mental health of BIPOC, queer, trans, gender-nonconforming, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit individuals. Courtney’s work centers on decolonized healing, embodied equity, and expanding access to transformative healing practices for all.
