Ian McLoone, MPS, LPCC, LADC

Co-Founder/Director of Clinical Services

Prior to opening Expanse with partners Paula Brandt and Dr Jeff Sawyer, Ian was the lead therapist at Alltyr Clinic, and worked alongside the clinic founder, Dr. Mark Willenbring, to co-develop the Alltyr model of care. In 2021, Ian was honored by his peers and colleagues at the Minnesota Association of Resources for Recovery and Chemical Health (MARRCH) as Counselor of the Year.

Ian also holds positions as Community Faculty at the University of Minnesota and Metro State University, where he teaches courses on psychopharmacology for counselors, harm reduction, and person-centered care. His model places an emphasis on fully integrating treatment approaches for both mental health and substance use disorders. You can find some of his writings in outlets like Filter Magazine and TheFix.com. Ian is passionate about working with families and providing scientifically-informed, empathic strategies to help their child, spouse or loved one achieve recovery; and believes that psychedelic psychotherapy and high-quality addiction and mental health care should be available to all.
