Professional Details

Jennifer or “Jen” (she/her/hers) Jen Montjoy is a psychedelic trainer, scientist, and integrative psychiatric provider. Her primary professional passions have been providing ethical, safe psychedelic services, training other clinicians to achieve the same in their clinical practices, and optimizing client outcomes. Since completing a Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University in 2016, Jen has had the privilege of facilitating approximately one thousand individual ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) sessions and has trained more than 250 licensed clinicians from 31 states across the U.S. While working as a psychiatric provider in Tucson, Jen completed a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. Her doctorate research focus was investigating ketamine’s psychotherapeutic efficacy as a psychedelic for the treatment of chronic traumatic stress through a biobehavioral neuroscience worldview.

 Spiritual practice and ceremony have also imbued Jen’s personal and clinical practice. Incorporating ceremony and ritual, based on each individual’s beliefs, has augmented her clients’ sense of well-being during and post-KAP treatment. In September 2021, she completed Web of Life’s one-year Animist ministry ordainment program. Animism is a non-religious, earth-honoring spiritual practice that emphasizes the sacred connection between the seen and unseen natural world, humans, and non-human peoples. When not immersed in professional endeavors, Jen enjoys dancing, riding her Sportster, traveling, and cherished moments with friends and family.
