About Justin
He spent six years practicing nature-based therapy on a 70-acre farm in Canby, Oregon. There he used hands-on outdoor activities such as forest archery, shelter and fire building, guided mushroom foraging, and nature art as part of the work. For the past four years he has seen clients in private practice, combining those earlier experiences with more traditional counseling methods.
His training includes a Master’s in Counseling, a Master’s in Education, and a PhD in health psychology. The doctoral work looked at coping strategies for daily stress and the psychological effects of certain plant medicines. He has also collaborated with medical teams as a behavioral health consultant, bringing motivational interviewing and nutritional education into clinical settings.
Therapy sessions may include goal-focused coaching, mindfulness and somatic techniques, dream work, and narrative methods. He also offers preparation and integration support for clients who choose to work with entheogenic plant medicines independently. He draws on ideas from peak performance and flow-state practices to help clients rebuild healthier routines.
Dr. Panneck works from Oregon and offers services in English. He has spent time speaking at universities and professional groups on topics such as consciousness, shamanism, and alternative healing approaches.
