Basilrue Ada Massaro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Soma Psychedelic Psychotherapy Center of CT, a practice in Branford, Connecticut, that combines psychedelic medication with ongoing psychotherapeutic relationships to facilitate holistic healing. Massaro provides both in-person services in Branford and telehealth sessions to clients across Connecticut and New York, and also maintains a presence in Brooklyn. Their therapeutic approach integrates ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with person-centered, psychodynamic, relational, somatic, and trauma-focused modalities, as well as EMDR for processing distressing memories. Massaro is recognized for their affirming work with clients of all sexualities and genders, offering specialized support for individuals navigating gender affirmation, sexual exploration, polyamory and non-monogamy, and the intersections of identity with mental health. Their practice reflects a commitment to providing psychedelic-assisted therapy within a framework that attends to the relational, somatic, and cultural dimensions of each client's experience, pairing the neurobiological action of ketamine with the depth and safety of an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
