Kelly McGinty, FNP

Kelly McGinty, FNP, is a nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience in emergency medicine, where she developed a strong clinical foundation in acute care and a deep understanding of trauma, burnout, and complex patient needs. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Gonzaga University and has been board-certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners since 2012.

Following her work in the emergency department, Kelly expanded her clinical focus to include women’s health, with a particular interest in supporting midlife women through perimenopause and menopause. The mental health crisis that followed the COVID-19 pandemic further shaped her path, leading her to pursue more effective, personalized, and evidence-based approaches to treating depression, anxiety, and trauma.

She completed advanced training in psychedelic-assisted therapy through the California Institute of Integral Studies Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy and now specializes in working with treatment-resistant conditions, particularly among first responders, healthcare providers, and individuals facing serious or end-of-life illness.

Kelly’s work sits at the intersection of clinical medicine and emerging therapeutic innovation. While grounded in science and safety, she brings a deep respect for the therapeutic potential of plant medicines and the role of meaning, connection, and lived experience in healing. Her long-term vision is to help responsibly integrate psychedelic therapies into modern medical practice—expanding access to effective treatments while maintaining the highest standards of clinical care and ethics.
