What is Integration Therapy?

While I never recommend or encourage anyone to use illegal or illicit substances, many people are choosing to experiment with psychedelics on their own, both for recreational and therapeutic use. The world is now accepting the use of holistic practices like energy psychology and using altered states of consciousness, including psychedelics, as viable treatments for mental health issues. Esteemed institutions like Yale and Harvard are engaging in studies that are showing promising results, and organizations like Fluence, where I received some of my psychedelic integration training in 2020, and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), are bringing together respected professionals from all over the world to provide in-depth and comprehensive teachings and access to information for both practitioners and clients. I am so grateful to be a mental health provider in these exciting times, and I would be honored to bring these tools and experiences to you. 

I provide services to people who have either had these experiences and need to appropriately process them, or those who are considering using these substances and want to establish a plan. Integration therapy prior to use gives you the opportunity to feel more prepared for the experience and to gain a clearer idea of what you want to accomplish. After the experience is over it can be valuable to have a safe and judgment-free space to process it, and as the name suggests, integrate what you have learned into your life.

Integration services usually include between 1 and 3 preparation sessions where I assist in exploring the things in life that could be better or different, discuss individual goals, and if appropriate, utilize Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) to assist in directing energy in the most helpful ways. The number of sessions is usually dependent on awareness of goals and how much personal work has already been done. The first step in these initial sessions will be an evaluation to determine if psychedelic substances are really the right choice, and I ask that you be open to this discussion. The choice will always remain yours, but it is important that you are able to make an informed decision.   

After the chosen experience, we will typically meet between 1 and 3 times for processing and integration. After this point you may feel that you have achieved your goals, or you may realize that you need to begin personal therapy, either with me or a different provider.

If you are planning on taking this journey, or you have already had a psychedelic experience and would like to process it, please contact me to discuss the services that I provide.*
