In an era of evolving mental health awareness, traditional treatments are proven inadequate. People want better healing for their emotional, psychological, and behavioral suffering. Talk therapy alone doesn’t help everyone. Traditional psychoeducation doesn’t help everyone, neither does mental health counseling and pharmaceutical drugs. The Westernized mental health industry has been statistically ineffective for much of American history. However, cannabis has been used to heal spiritual and emotional wounds for thousands of years. This is recognized ancient history.
We incorporate traditional therapies alongside alternative therapies to provide you an alternative approach to healing your mind. We offer personalized care, a focus on the mind-body connection, and innovative techniques to address the core of mental health challenges. Our intention is to provide you an experience that is more appealing, personal and can lead you to work through your mental health in a positive and healthy way using holistic methods.

How Does it Work?
Professional Guidance
Our Cannabis Assisted Psychotherapy is provided by licensed therapists who are experienced in both psychotherapy and alternative healing methods. We provide a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space for you to explore the potential healing benefits of cannabis while working on yourself. We call this HAPPY LAND.
Our program is designed and overseen by Sonia Singh, LCSW, LCADC, PHD candidate, also known as The Happy Therapist, who is the founder and creator of The Happy Clinic. She is a double board licensed psychotherapist who has been practicing in the mental health industry for over 15 years. She began her journey to heal people with cannabis after being trained by SAMHSA- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration through a specialized training program, and then spending nearly a decade working in traditional state and grant funded mental health and substance abuse agencies. She recognized a social need and a disparity, or unfair treatment conditions for mental health sufferers who could benefit from a legal alternative medicine to stop their suffering:
“I wanted better for the people around me, especially my clients. They weren’t getting the right help and were suffering. Over time, I realized that I felt wrong for referring people to do things that repeatedly didn’t work for them. I then went along the path to spend many years training to create a safe space and a program for people to get help with cannabis and their mental health at the same time.”
