Coaching for Clever Minds
Helping you access your own brilliance
Hi, I’m Sarah Dopp!
I’m a post-burnout, neurodivergent-affirming, psychedelic-informed coach who does things a bit differently.
I work with…
- Exceptional minds who are crafting their unique contribution to the world
- Burnout-prone “high-potential” types who are ready to design for sustainability
- “Alternative lifestyle” folks seeking a deeper level of tuning for their creative life design
- Community stewards & relationally-oriented folks who believe in intentional relationship design
- Leaders who trust their intuition and creativity when it comes to innovative strategy
- Creatives seeking heightened access to their inner muse
- Neurodivergent minds (ADHD, Autism, HSP) who are radically designing for their strengths and needs
- Queer, trans, polyamorous, or kink-oriented folks who are crafting lives of abundant nourishment
- Galaxy brains who see beyond our current reality and want to expand and stabilize their vision
Deep Dive Coaching Package
A three-session package (without medicine), designed for a meaningful perspective shift and step forward on one topic.
This container provides targeted support for tuning up processes, untangling beliefs and patterns, refreshing your creativity, and getting unstuck wherever you need it… so you can get back to being a rockstar in your unique life.
How It Works
Session 1: Strategy (30 min)
This is a short, focused session to get us aligned. You’ll bring a topic (or a few possible topics) for our time together. Look for areas in your life where you’re noticing some friction or longing for something more. We’ll decide together what focus feels right, and get clear on how we’ll work together. In the time between our first and second sessions, I’ll invite you to get more curious about the topic, gathering details to bring our next session.
Session 2: Exploration (90 min)
This is the heart of the series. We’ll slow down and dive deep into your chosen focus. We’ll consult your inner brilliance and let our minds dance together, exploring the edges until we find a shift — a meaningful insight or a designed juicy step forward. Arrive as rested and relaxed as you can, and block out some extra “me time” after it for whatever arises. We’ll make space for what shows up, and sort through it together to find your path forward.
Session 3: Reflection (30 min)
This is where we integrate. In the time after our deep dive, you’ll go live your life and see what’s different. This final session is a space to share what you observed, what shifted (or didn’t), and what next steps feel good to you. We’ll honor your process, and make sure you leave with clarity and meaning.
Investment: $500
This package helps us get to know each other.
Short-term coaching engagements are awesome. They’re efficient, targeted, and powerful. They honor your autonomy by standing on the premise that you are fully in charge of your life and you are intensely capable.
This type of package will also give us a shared understanding of how our minds work together. By the end, we’ll know if other types of coaching engagements, including psychedelic explorations or ongoing support, might be a great fit.
Is this for you?

If pricing is prohibitive and you think we’d be a strong fit, please reach out to discuss. I reserve space for a limited number of pay-what-you-wish clients.

🌀 Psychedelic-Informed Coaching
Deeply personalized non-clinical coaching to strengthen your agency as you explore your own mind. I offer a space for reflection and growth alongside—not in place of—appropriate medical, mental-health, or spiritual support.
Please note:
- I do not sell, provide, or administer psychoactive substances. I provide coaching services to clients who are independently making decisions about their health care, spirituality, and personal growth. Clients should direct questions about medication, psychoactive substances, mental health, and safety to appropriately licensed clinicians or qualified spiritual providers.
- Coaching is not psychotherapy, medical care, crisis support, or substance-use treatment. I support clients with goals relating to personal and professional growth and thriving. These services are not appropriate for trauma healing.

Q&A
Most of my coaching sessions take place over Zoom. I also have beautiful client space in Berkeley, CA. Let’s discuss what’s right for you.
I help clients apply their personal agency and creativity in the direction of their dreams. As we do this, a wide range of topics can arise, and some may be out of scope for our work together.
First and foremost, coaching isn’t therapy. We aim to keep our focus on the present and future. When trauma-related topics arise, we do our best to walk around them rather than stepping toward them. Psychedelics can make this much trickier, though, so I tend to work with clients who have already done effective work on their trauma history, or who have a lot of active support resources for their healing journey.
In addition to this, I will also steer us away from…
- Current events, such as processing politics and fears about the state of the world
- Serious medical challenges, including difficulty navigating the health system
- Financial challenges, like getting out of credit card debt or trying to find employment
If any of these themes are strongly active in your life, I encourage you to find additional support resources.
I allow same-day cancellations, as long as you notify me before the session starts. This is especially fine for the 30min and 60min sessions. Please try your best to keep your commitment to longer (90-min or full-day) sessions, though, as I limit how many of those I allow in my calendar to protect my energy for your deep exploration.
You can use the link in your confirmation emails from Calendly to reschedule.
If you do not arrive to an appointment on time, I will attempt to contact you, and I will stay available on Zoom for 15 minutes. If I don’t hear from you within 15 minutes, I will close the session.
Sessions that have taken place are non-refundable. “No show” sessions are also non-refundable.
For coaching packages: If we determine during a prep session that we are not a fit for working together, I will refund you for the remaining sessions. Once a Deep Dive session or psychedelic-assisted session has taken place, the follow-up reflection/integration sessions are non-refundable.
It’s important to me that our agreements are accessible to you, and that our coaching container is beneficial to you. Please communicate openly with me about your needs and availability, and I will always do my best to accommodate you.
