Services
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
Specialized therapy sessions utilizing legal psychedelic substances to address deep-seated trauma. This approach helps surface preverbal trauma for processing while softening mental defenses to facilitate body-based healing. Clients receive comprehensive preparation and integration support throughout their treatment journey.
ISTDP Therapy
Evidence-based intensive short-term therapy focusing on emotional processing and relational patterns. This approach rapidly addresses defense mechanisms that prevent emotional healing through structured, goal-oriented sessions that promote lasting psychological change.
Integration Sessions
Post-psychedelic session support to process and incorporate insights from medicine experiences. These sessions help clients make meaning of their therapeutic experiences and implement lasting behavioral and emotional changes in daily life.
Therapist Training
Experiential training programs for licensed therapists seeking expertise in psychedelic-assisted modalities. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills development through both individual and group learning formats.
Clinical Supervision
Individualized guidance for therapists developing proficiency in specialized treatment modalities. Supervision sessions focus on case conceptualization, treatment planning, and skill refinement for both ISTDP and psychedelic-assisted therapy approaches.
