Psychedelic Integration Counseling
What is PSYCHEDELIC Integration?
Psychedelic medicines have been used ceremonially, medicinally, recreationally, and in excess for hundreds of thousands of years. In most recent decades with the advent of the field of psychology, the self-help movement, and the modern-day period of “enlightenment” that was the 1960’s, psychedelics have made a name for themselves in our culture.
Most recently, however, with the founding of reputable research organizations such as MAPS, we are finally seeing evidence-based research that supports the value of utilizing psychedelic medicines in part of healing from PTSD and other traumas.
Psychedelic therapy is the combination modern and classic psychological counseling modalities in combination with one or more psychedelic medicines (substances) such as cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, mescaline and DMT. The use of psychedelic medicines can help change one’s perspective, release trapped emotions and address unhealthy, irrational thought patterns that often interrupt one’s potential for experiencing peace and inner harmony. Psychedelic medicine can be a significant tool in the processing of past traumas by rewiring neuropathways in the brain and providing insights and clarity that, with guided integration and support, can turn beautiful visions into meaningful, lasting change.
Integration brings together the pieces of the psychological, emotional, biological, energetic and spiritual nutrients provided from medicine journeys, which later become fuel for improving the function of your body, mind and spirit. Furthermore, integration and assimilation of psychedelic experiences is a process in which an individual seeks support from another to better understand, accept or reject certain aspects of their journey in order to develop a plan of action to maximize the application of such insights into one's life.
Integrated Psychedelics is a harm reduction, risk-reducing counseling approach of processing and assimilating thoughts and feelings associated with psychedelic or entheogenic medicine journeys.
My extensive experience in both abstinence and harm reduction addiction counseling contributes to my balanced approach when sitting with and guiding clients toward making the best possible choices to achieve their goals. I understand the importance of using spiritual medicines and practices for self-improvement and believe in the healing power of therapeutic counseling in conjunction with the use of psychedelics and entheogenic medicines.
I provide well-informed, open-minded, non-judgmental, and compassionate guidance and support for first time journeyers or experienced medicine travelers seeking greater self-awareness. My commitment to you includes keeping up to date with the latest research, benefits, challenges and dangers of using psychedelic medicines. I also serve as an advocate for this work and address any misguided myths about the use and practice of such medicines.
