Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Guiding Sessions, Preparation & Integration
Overview
Psychedelic work is often described as psychedelic therapy or psychedelic-assisted therapy, combining preparation, guided experience, and integration within a supportive therapeutic container.
It can be deeply beautiful and awe-inspiring, filled with moments of challenge followed by profound relief, insight, and inner resolve. It’s a profound process best approached with a skilled counselor, guide, and therapeutic music curator by your side.
In my practice, I offer a grounded, therapeutic approach to exploring altered states of consciousness for those seeking healing, clarity, or spiritual connection. My role isn’t to control or direct your journey, but to support it with personalized care, structure, and presence.
I work with clients throughout Arizona, Los Angeles, and those traveling from other regions for immersive therapeutic work.
Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, grief, or simply sensing that something in you is ready to explore the unknown, this work provides a safe and well-supported container for deep inner exploration. Ethical screening, thoughtful preparation, intentional music selection, and evidence-based integration counseling are woven together to help your experience unfold with meaning and take root in your daily life with lasting impact.

What Is Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy?
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines careful preparation, guided psychedelic experiences, and integration counseling to support lasting psychological and emotional change.
In this work, altered states of consciousness are approached with intention, care, and respect for the inner process that unfolds during a journey. Psychedelic experiences can bring buried emotions, memories, and insights to the surface, allowing individuals to process unresolved material, access new perspectives, and reconnect with deeper aspects of themselves.
Rather than focusing on the experience alone, psychedelic-assisted therapy emphasizes the full arc of the process. Preparation helps clarify intentions and establish safety, the guided journey provides a supportive container for deep exploration, and integration counseling afterward helps translate insights into meaningful change in daily life.
In my practice, therapeutic music curation also plays an important role in supporting the emotional arc of the journey, helping to create a safe, intentional environment where insight and healing can unfold naturally.
How It Works. What’s Included?
This work unfolds across three phases: preparation, the guided journey itself, and integration afterward.
-
Preparation & Integration Counseling
A psychedelic journey is only as powerful as the care surrounding it. Each process includes a structured arc of preparation and integration so you feel supported before, during, and after the experience.
• Two pre-journey counseling sessions to explore intentions, safety, and logistics
• Two post-journey integration sessions to process and anchor insights
• Two brief check-in calls on day one and day two following the journey
• One 30-day follow-up call to support long-term integration -
Ceremonial Journey Day
• Full-day guided individual experience in a safe, beautiful, private location (approximately 6–8 hours)
• Gentle space-holding, verbal and nonverbal support, and grounded therapeutic presence throughout the day
• Optional opening and closing rituals to mark the journey, adaptable to all spiritual orientations or none at all
• A four-hour immersive ambient and chillout music set mixed live by a dedicated psychedelic music curator and synchronized with each phase of the journey
• Post-journey processing, nourishment, and decompression time in a beautiful natural environment -
Therapeutic Music Curation
• Custom pre-journey playlist designed to support your intentions, emotional themes, and energetic needs
• A personalized music arc informed by your sensitivity, mindset, and therapeutic focus
• In-session music selected and adapted in real time to support your inner process

My Approach & Background
I bring together two worlds: more than a decade of clinical experience in harm-reduction and addiction counseling, and over 30 years of experience as a DJ and sound curator for ceremonies, conscious events, and private sessions.
My therapeutic style draws from Gestalt Therapy, humanistic counseling, and work with co-occurring disorders. What makes my approach unique is the way I integrate music, not as background ambiance, but as a central therapeutic tool. Over the years, I have developed a counseling and music-centered methodology that helps support and shape the emotional arc of the journey.
This combination of clinical training, lived experience, and music-guided practice creates a multidimensional healing space that is both safe and deeply attuned. To learn more about my approach, visit the About Page
The Role of Music in the Journey
Music is not background in this work, it is a core part of the therapeutic process. With over 30 years of experience as a DJ and sound curator, I use intentionally crafted soundscapes to support emotional flow, deepen insight, and create a sense of safety throughout the journey.
In both live facilitation and private practice, I draw from the same methodologies described in my book The Psychedelic DJ, using carefully sequenced mixes and adaptive soundtracking to support each stage of the experience.
To explore this music-centered approach in more depth — including access to ceremonial DJ mix protocols — visit the Music page.
Rates & Access
My regular counseling rate is $150 per hour. Rates for guided work vary depending on the depth and scope of support and can be tailored to meet individual needs.
Sliding scale options are available, recognizing that access to healing should not be limited by financial circumstances.
For those with greater financial limitations, a Benefactor-Supported Journey Scholarship Fund is available to provide partial or full support for qualifying clients. Special consideration is given to veterans, police, fire, and first responders in gratitude for their service.
