Dr. Kristin Arden is Lead Clinician at Mindbloom (a ketamine therapy service) and is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years experience working in mental health. Her work has been instrumental in the development of Mindbloom’s treatment methodologies.

In addition to work at Mindbloom, Arden was a guest lecturer at NYU on topics such as psychedelic therapy and substance use disorders, and practices addiction medicine, from a harm reduction mindset, with individuals in the justice system. She graduated from NYU’s Psych NP program with additional specialization in substance use disorders and has a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Rush University.

Shari Botwin, LCSW, has been counseling survivors in recovery from all types of traumas in her Cherry Hill, New Jersey private practice for over twenty-eight years. She is a regular guest trauma expert on the Law and Crime Network. Additionally, she has served as an expert witness in high profile cases of sexual assault and childhood abuse. Her book “Thriving After Trauma: Stories of Living and Healing, Rowman & Littlefield,” (Rowman & Littlefield, November 8, 2019) deals with overcoming trauma including physical and sexual abuse, war-related injury, loss due to tragedy or illness and natural disaster. 

Botwin’s third book, "Stolen Childhoods," released worldwide on May 7, 2024 in hardcover and eBook; the audiobook, which Botwin narrated, released on June 11, 2024.
