Psychedelic Consultation and Integration Services
Expert Support Before and After a Psychedelic Journey
Comprehensive Guidance for People Considering or
Planning Psychedelic Experiences
Our Psychedelic Consultation and Integration Services are designed to provide therapeutic support to individuals who are already using or considering using psychedelics on their own.
Access to psychedelics in legal, controlled settings in Oregon remains limited to psilocybin services and ketamine treatment centers. Instead, many people want to use psychedelics on their own, with underground guides, or in retreat settings.
While we can’t facilitate access to illegal drugs or be present during your psychedelic experience, our compassionate team can provide expertise and support before and/or after your personal psychedelic experience, with an emphasis on education and safety. We can provide accurate information about risks and benefits, help you decide if psychedelics are right for you, and help you think through the full range of options to address your therapeutic goals.
Our approach is grounded in research on effective psychotherapy, harm reduction, and integration of psychedelic experiences, drawing from the most current studies of how psychedelics produce therapeutic change. Our primary goal is to enhance your mental health and help you to live a full, rewarding life— whether psychedelics are part of that or not.
Our process includes three key elements:
1.) Consultation and Assessment:
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your unique needs, considering biological, psychological, and social factors. Your therapist will discuss your goals and options, including psychedelics and alternative approaches, to determine the best path forward.
2.) Harm Reduction and Preparation:
If you decide to pursue a psychedelic experience, we will provide education and guidance on minimizing potential risks and enhancing potential benefits. We'll help you create an intentional plan for your experience, considering factors like set, setting, and integration.
3.) Post-Experience Integration & Ongoing Support:
After your psychedelic experience, our team will offer integration sessions to help you process insights, emotions, and any challenges that may arise.
We provide ongoing support to foster lasting healing, personal growth, and positive life changes.

FAQs About Our Services:
Do you provide access to psychedelic substances?
No, we do not provide, prescribe, or facilitate access to any psychedelic substances, except for Oregon’s regulated Psilocybin Services through our Psilocybin Wraparound Therapy Program. Our role is to offer consultation, education, preparation, and integration support for those who choose to pursue psychedelic experiences on their own.
Can you guarantee that I will have a safe and beneficial psychedelic experience?
While we offer guidance to help you minimize potential risks and enhance potential benefits, psychedelic experiences are inherently unpredictable. We cannot guarantee a particular outcome, but we can help you cultivate an intentional approach and provide support throughout the process.
Will my insurance cover your services?
Many of our services are typically covered by insurance when they are provided by licensed professionals as part of addressing mental health concerns. However, insurance likely will not cover services at a psilocybin services center or use that is not related to a mental health concern. We can help you check with your insurance provider about coverage for mental health services.
