What Is Psychedelic Therapy

Psychedelic therapy is a technique that involves the use of psychedelic substances such as Psilocybin, Ketamine, MDMA, LSD, Ayahuasca to aid the therapeutic process. Hallucinogenic substances have been used in holistic medicine and for spiritual practices by various cultures for thousands of years. The use of psychedelics with a trained provider is a re-emerging practice for treating conditions like severe depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Preparation

There are many terms that may be new or unfamiliar as you embark on psychedelic assisted healing and wholeness. Intentions, Set and Setting, dosages, subjective effects, and more. This list is long, and getting into the right relationship with the preparation process is an important undertaking worthy of your consideration. We seek to support your work to prepare for medicine experiences and psychedelic journeys by offering psycho-education, breath work, expressive art therapies, somatic exercises, talk therapy, and other resources that allow you to experience your intentions as you engage in psychedelic practices.

Integration

In order to facilitate the lasting personal and habitual changes psychedelic therapy can provide, integration is an essential component of that process.

Transformational experiences —psychedelic-assisted or otherwise— wouldn’t be possible without the deep work that follows them. Integration is a vital, necessary, and important part of long-lasting growth and development.

Integration involves taking the gained insights, emotions, or attitudes from your experience, and processing them into desired areas of your life. Integration as a general definition means “bringing parts together to make a whole.” Psychedelic integration helps to achieve a sense of “wholeness” people seek through their set intentions. Integration can be explored using expressive mediums such as art and writing, psycho-social and emotional work. We offer comprehensive integration resources and hope to further your healing through an enduring and partnered therapeutic relationship.
