“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Carl Jung

We are currently in a psychedelic renaissance. Chances are you have read the book “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence” by Michael Pollen, or watched the Netflix docu-series. There have also been recent articles and podcasts on the use of psychedelics (psilocybin, MDMA, mescaline, ketamine, peyote, and ayahuasca) and Psychedelic-assisted therapy. The research and popular media has brought the use of plant medicine back to light.

Training:

I have completed extensive training with the California Institute of Integral Sciences Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research along with the 100-hour education requirement with MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies). I am available for preparation and integration sessions, in conjunction or separate from psychotherapy sessions.

I invested in this education because decades of research and clinical trials with MDMA and psilocybin have led to FDA approval in clinical trials. This research has led to findings proving that psychedelic-assisted therapy has the potential to significantly reduce symptoms of depression, PTSD, substance abuse, and end-of-life anxiety in cancer patients. Also, there has been movement across the country to decriminalize and regulate the use of plant medicines.

My offerings of psychedelic preparation and integration:

I offer preparation sessions for psychedelic use to help clients set an intention for their non-ordinary state of consciousness experience. I also provide education about what to potentially expect as well as harm reduction.

Psychedelic integration happens after your journey with plant medicine. Working with a trained clinician allows you to process your experiences while gaining insight as to integrating the experience into your life. Integration allows reflection about your relationships with yourself and others, your worldview, and your spirituality.

A note:

Psychedelics are still federally controlled substances and you assume all the risk associated with possessing and consuming these medicines. I cannot advocate or advise the use of illegal substances. In Connecticut, psychedelic use is only permitted through clinical trials and not available to the general public.

I do not assume any responsibility for physical, psychological, legal, or other consequences arising from the use of these substances.
