Kyle Keller, MSW LICSW
Chief Executive Officer

Kyle is a therapist, entrepreneur, and systems thinker with over a decade of experience building outpatient mental health clinics and psychedelic therapy programs. At Elsewhere, he leads the overarching vision and is especially interested in consilience: finding the patterns that connect science, psychology, design, and culture to create something more cohesive and meaningful.

​

Since the start of his career, Kyle has been driven by an incessant questioning of “standard operating procedures” and a curiosity about how conventional assumptions take shape. He believes our field focuses primarily on eliminating symptoms while neglecting to help people make meaning of their experiences. His work is grounded in the idea that suffering is part of being human, and that the deeper task is helping people discover their reason to carry it. 

​

He also sees Western culture as limited by a narrow, problem-solving state of consciousness. By creating immersive environments, fostering community experiences, and exploring psychedelics, he aims to expand the range of awareness available to people, so they can access creativity, connection, and new ways of understanding.

​

His goal is to collaborate with visual artists, designers, and engineers to build an atmosphere at Elsewhere that can’t be replicated virtually- a place that is an experience unto itself.
