Hey Friend,

I’m Carlen Costa, DHS, MPH, RSSW, PAP—a Registered Psychotherapist with the OCSWSSW, Clinical Sexologist, Neurodivergence Specialist, TheraPsil® Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist, international speaker, and bestselling author of Love: The Women’s Guide to Not Fucking Settling.

I help humans—especially women, queer folks, and neurodivergent rebels—stop self-abandoning and start radically loving themselves.

My work blends evidence-based mental health care with real, unfiltered conversation. I don’t do stuffy or sterile. I do safe, smart, and radically honest. Over the last decade, I’ve built a clinical practice, spoken on global stages, written a book, launched a podcast, and most recently, opened Mothership LDN—a mental health, wealth, and happiness centre in London, Ontario.

But my biggest transformation started when I reversed a weight-loss surgery, received a late ADHD diagnosis, and decided to unmask—publicly, loudly, and on my own terms. I became my own curious client. And in doing so, I gave myself the thing I help others find every day: permission to be exactly who you are.

I believe that healing doesn’t have to be clinical, cold, or quiet. It can be wild, weird, sexy, spicy, messy, and full of joy. If you’re ready to love bigger, live louder, and heal deeper—I’ve got you.
