Psychedelic-Assisted
Therapy
A new frontier in healing still grounded in care.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is one of the most promising developments in mental health in decades. Research into substances like ketamine has shown remarkable results for people dealing with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and end-of-life distress while many of whom had tried everything else without lasting relief.
The legal landscape around psychedelic-assisted therapy is evolving rapidly. In California, psilocybin and MDMA remain Schedule I substances under federal law, meaning they cannot be legally prescribed or administered in a clinical setting at this time. Ketamine is the exception as it is FDA-approved and legally available through licensed providers, and ketamine-assisted therapy is currently the most accessible legal option in the state.
What this practice offers is preparation and integration support which is the therapeutic work that happens before and after a psychedelic experience, which research consistently identifies as the most critical factor in lasting outcomes. Whether you're having ketamine clinic IV infusions or following prescribed at-home dosing protocol, having a skilled therapist to help you prepare and integrate the experience makes a meaningful difference in what you carry forward from it.
Ketamine must be prescribed by a licensed physician and dosed entirely under their medical supervision. Sessions with the medicine happen outside of therapy in a medical setting, under a doctor's care, or a home setting as prescribed and approved by a medical professional. What this practice provides is the preparation and integration work surrounding that experience: helping you arrive ready, and helping you make lasting meaning of what emerges afterward.
If traditional therapy or medication hasn't given you the results you were hoping for, this may be worth exploring. And if you're curious but unsure where to start, that's exactly where this conversation can begin.
This work is not about the substance alone, it's about what you do with what emerges. The medicine can open doors, but the real work happens in preparation and integration: understanding what came up, making meaning of it, and translating insight into lasting change in your daily life.
What This Process Involves
Three phases of
transformative work.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is not a quick fix, it's a carefully supported process. Without proper support before and after, powerful experiences can be overwhelming or difficult to process. With the right container, they can be genuinely life-changing.
This work requires honest conversation about your mental health history, current medications, and intentions. If you're curious about whether it's a good fit, reach out and we'll have that conversation with care and without pressure.
