Sebastián Beca

Gestalt therapist & psychedelic guide

Seba (tse-bah | he/him, Nahuel) is a hacker turned healer. After over two decades as a computer engineer, he shifted paths to focus on consciousness and the healing arts. He became a licensed psychologist in Chile in 2014, earned a Master's in Integral Counseling Psychology from CIIS in 2018, and became a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #134131) in 2022.

Seba is a Gestalt Therapist specialized in healing trauma, managing anxiety, and navigating life transitions. His core training comes from Gestalt, in the lineage of Claudio Naranjo, EMDR, Eco-Therapy, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Certified as a Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapist, Seba guides journeys for individuals and groups. He's also trained with Polaris, Journey Clinical, and Fluence among others, in working with Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) which he offers through his private practice: Natural Bridges Therapy. In addition to his Santa Cruz office, he recently opened a new office in Berkeley at Root and Bloom Institute, where he sees clients and works with associate therapists as a Clinical Supervisor.

In 2020 he graduated from CIIS's Certificate in Psychedelic Therapies and Research (CPTR), which includes MAPS MDMA-Assisted Therapy training, and has been part of the support staff and mentors team with the program since.

In 2018, Seba and Javi founded Green Magic Yoga, a community rooted in Sacred Plant Medicines, Yoga, and Mindfulness. Seba also serves as a Board Advisor to the Santa Cruz Psychedelic Society. In his free time Seba enjoys meditation, walking in the forest, biking, yoga, reading, and making music: he DJs as DJ Nahuel. At home he plays with Javi and their cats.
