Meet Margot Kahn | Therapist and Psychedelic Practitioner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Margot Kahn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Margot, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
At Intuitive Integration, our work is rooted in the belief that healing at the individual and relational level creates ripple effects that extend far beyond the therapy room. We support individuals, couples, and families in developing deeper self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and relational safety—skills that directly impact how people show up in their relationships, workplaces, and communities.

We are especially committed to making high-quality, trauma-informed care accessible to high functioning professionals, including immigrants, BIPOC individuals, and bilingual couples. By offering culturally responsive and bilingual therapy, we help clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal in ways that honor their identities and lived experiences.

Through our work in psychedelic integration therapy, we also help people safely and ethically make meaning of profound experiences, translating insight into lasting behavioral and relational change. This contributes to more grounded, emotionally aware, and connected individuals—people who are better equipped to break intergenerational patterns of trauma and create healthier family systems.

Beyond direct client care, we engage in education, public dialogue, and community offerings that normalize mental health, reduce stigma, and expand conversations around healing, mindfulness, and conscious relationships. We see our role not only as therapists, but as stewards of a more compassionate, self-aware, and emotionally literate world.

At its core, Intuitive Integration exists to support healing that is authentic, relational, and impactful—because when people heal, communities heal too.

What should our readers know about your business?
Intuitive Integration was born from a deep desire to create a therapeutic space where clinical attunement, cultural humility, and intuitive wisdom can coexist. Our work centers on trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families, with a particular focus on relational healing, mindfulness, and psychedelic integration. What truly sets us apart is how we intentionally bring ancient wisdom traditions—such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and meaning-making—into dialogue with modern neuroscience and evidence-based psychotherapy. In the therapy room, this integration helps people not only understand themselves intellectually, but experience change in their bodies, relationships, and daily lives.

We primarily work with high-functioning professionals and couples who, on the outside, appear successful, capable, and accomplished, yet feel disconnected from deeper authenticity, connection, awe, and purpose. Many of our clients aren’t looking to “fix” something that’s broken—they’re seeking a more aligned, embodied, and meaningful way of living and relating. Our approach supports them in slowing down, listening inward, and reconnecting with the parts of themselves that often get lost in achievement-driven cultures.

We are especially proud of offering culturally responsive and bilingual care, and of creating a space where immigrants, BIPOC individuals, and couples feel deeply seen and understood. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. Instead, we honor both the visible and invisible aspects of identity, the nervous system, and the relational patterns that shape how people move through the world.

Getting to where we are today was not easy, nor was it linear. Our journey included years of community mental health work, advanced training, and continued education, alongside personal and professional transitions that required resilience and humility. Building a values-aligned practice while navigating systemic barriers and the realities of entrepreneurship challenged us to stay deeply connected to our purpose. We overcame these challenges through mentorship, community support, and an unwavering commitment to ethical, intentional care.

Another element that truly sets Intuitive Integration apart is that we are a real-life married couple and parents who actively practice the values we bring into the therapy room. We have been together since 2014, and our relationship—like all relationships—has required intentional communication, humility, repair, and growth. We are deeply committed to living a life and building a business that is congruent with who we are. The tools, frameworks, and practices we offer to individuals and couples are not just theoretical or clinical concepts; they are ways of relating that we practice with ourselves and with each other every day. We believe that bringing our full humanness into our work creates deeper trust, safety, and authenticity, and that this lived integrity supports others in their own process of self-actualization and evolution.

One of the most important lessons we’ve learned is that sustainable success doesn’t come from chasing trends or quick solutions—it comes from depth, integrity, and trust in the process. We’ve also learned the power of collaboration over competition, and that when healing work is rooted in service and authenticity, there is truly space for everyone to thrive.

What we want the world to know about Intuitive Integration is that our story is one of curiosity, courage, and compassion. We believe healing happens when ancient wisdom and modern research meet in a way that honors the full humanity of each person. Our mission is to help people reconnect with their inner wisdom, cultivate meaningful relationships, and live with greater presence, purpose, and aliveness. When people feel safe enough to truly know themselves, the impact extends far beyond therapy—it ripples outward into families, communities, and future generations.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting Houston and I wanted to give them the best time, I’d start with a long, grounding walk through Memorial Park, making our way to the Clay Family Eastern Glades. It’s one of those places that instantly helps you slow down and appreciate the beauty of the city—lush, expansive, and surprisingly peaceful.

After working up an appetite, we’d grab a quick lunch at Hando for fresh hand rolls—simple, delicious, and perfect for something light but satisfying. To end the day, I’d take them to Flora for dinner, where the mole is an absolute must. It’s rich, soulful, and the kind of meal that feels both celebratory and comforting.

For me, the best Houston experiences blend nature, intentional movement, and incredible food—and those spots capture that balance perfectly.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would first like to give a heartfelt shoutout to my very first boss as a therapist, Michelle Ly, whom I worked with in community mental health in San Diego. Michelle didn’t just train me clinically—she shaped the lens through which I still see the world and my work today. She taught me the importance of cultural humility, deep curiosity, and empathy for the nuances of people’s identities—the parts that are visible, the parts that are invisible, and the ways privilege and marginalization influence how we move through the world. Perhaps most importantly, she believed in me early on and saw the potential in my love for communities and my desire to help people grow and heal. That belief stayed with me.

I also want to give a deep shoutout to Beatriz Craven. At first, my vision of becoming a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist felt, understandably, a bit “out there” to her. Over time, she not only warmed to the idea, but became instrumental in helping me bring a dream to life that is both deeply personal and profoundly professional. Beyond that, her support extended to my family—especially my husband during his career transition in the pandemic, when he became a therapist himself. Beatrice has played a significant role in our life trajectory and in the work we now offer to the Houston community.

There are also two books that deserve recognition for shaping how I think, live, and practice therapy: The Four Agreements and How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. Together, they form both a clinical and spiritual foundation for how I meet clients in the therapy room, and how I meet myself. They remind me to honor the full humanness of everyone and to approach healing with compassion, curiosity, and integrity.

Finally, I want to shout out my incredible husband, Jorge Begun, and my therapist friends. Jorge has believed in me and has been with me in the entire evolution of myself and my career these past 12 years. And my friends, without them, it would be hard to imagine building a business in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. They model that there is enough space for all of us to thrive, to cheer one another on, and to succeed without competition or scarcity. Their unconditional support, generosity, and belief in collective growth have been nothing short of transformative.
