Embracing the Voyage: A Personal Welcome
Hello and welcome! If you’re here, you may be exploring the world of psychedelics—perhaps through legally available treatments like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), seeking support after a past psychedelic experience, or considering how to navigate a future journey with safety and intention. Psychedelic experiences can be profoundly insightful, but they can also be complex and, at times, overwhelming. Thoughtful preparation and integration are key to ensuring these experiences contribute to lasting personal growth and healing.
How I Can Support You
I work with individuals who have had psychedelic experiences and seek to process and integrate them, those preparing for a future journey with safety and intention, and people considering legally available treatments like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. I provide therapy in two key areas:
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): A legally available psychedelic therapy option that offers unique benefits for depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges.
Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration (PHRI): Support for individuals seeking to process past psychedelic experiences or prepare for a future journey with safety, clarity, and intention.
While psychedelic-assisted therapy is an evolving field, I do not provide, prescribe, or facilitate access to any prohibited substances. My role is to help individuals integrate their experiences in a way that is meaningful, safe, and aligned with their personal growth.
My Expertise
With a background in both research and clinical practice, I bring a deep understanding of psychedelic therapy’s potential and challenges. My work as a research therapist studying psychedelics keeps me informed on the latest advancements, while my training enables me to provide therapy with an ethical, trauma-sensitive lens.
Psychedelic Experiences: The Need for Integration
Integration isn’t just about understanding an experience—it’s about weaving insights into daily life in a way that fosters healing and growth. Whether you’re reflecting on a recent journey or seeking clarity before one, I help clients explore emotions, process meaning, and navigate their experiences with care and intention. Psychedelics can offer deep emotional and psychological insights, but the impact of these experiences is not always straightforward. Without integration, even profound realizations can fade, feel confusing, or lead to emotional distress. Integration is the process of taking what you’ve learned and applying it meaningfully to your daily life.
Common psychedelic experiences that may require integration include:
Varied Emotional Responses: Feelings of joy and clarity, but also fear, sadness, or confusion.
Emergence of Traumatic Memories: Unprocessed trauma can surface, sometimes bringing healing, but also the potential for distress if not properly navigated.
Spiritual or Existential Insights: These experiences can lead to profound life reevaluations but may also cause uncertainty about one’s place in the world.
Sensory and Perceptual Shifts: These can be awe-inspiring but may also feel disorienting or difficult to interpret.
Without a structured approach to making sense of these experiences, their potential for healing and growth may be lost. My role is to provide a space for reflection, processing, and applying insights in ways that create real, lasting change.
The Process of Psychedelic Integration
Integration is a continuous process that begins with setting clear intentions, unfolds through the experience itself, and continues long after. Preparing with a thoughtful mindset and a safe setting can shape the journey, while post-experience reflection helps solidify insights into lasting change. I support individuals in the preparation and integration phases—helping them process emotions, explore the meaning of their experiences, and find ways to integrate these insights into their daily lives in a way that fosters healing and personal growth.
The Evolving Field of Psychedelic Therapy
As research continues to expand, psychedelic-assisted therapy is becoming more widely understood and explored. While treatments like MDMA and psilocybin are still in development, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a legally available option that has shown promising results when integrated thoughtfully into a therapeutic process. KAP involves a thorough assessment with a prescriber who determines suitability and oversees administration of the medicine. If you’re considering KAP, I can help you determine whether it’s the right fit and guide you through the integration process to maximize its benefits.
A Safe and Informed Space for Your Journey
Whether you are preparing for a psychedelic experience, working through past journeys, or exploring legal treatment options, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration and healing. Psychedelics can open doors, but integration is what allows meaningful change to take root.
If you are seeking support, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can navigate your experiences with clarity, care, and a deep commitment to your well-being.
**Disclaimer**
I provide therapeutic support and guidance strictly within legal and ethical frameworks. I do not provide, prescribe, or facilitate access to any illegal substances. My role is to offer harm reduction and integration services for those who have had psychedelic experiences or are interested in legally available options like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
