Irina is a therapist who loves people who use drugs, people who live on the edges of society, and people whose existence is a radical act in and of itself. She is one of the original co-founders of Alchemy, finding passion in the intersections of community mental health, harm reduction, and psychedelic therapy.

She’s worked for over a decade doing street-based outreach work, which she continues to do in San Francisco. Irina has volunteered for several years with the Zendo Project and is currently also working as an Adherence Rater in the MAPS MDMA Clinical Trials. In her spare time, she enjoys playing with her dog Zaychik, taking photos of her poison dart frogs, and watching the newest queer tv series.
