Psychedlic Therapy in Boulder, CO
A natural approach
In recent years there has been a resurgence of scientific and clinical interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. Researchers at major universities and medical centers have been studying compounds such as psilocybin with increasing rigor, and the results have sparked new conversations about how these medicines may support healing for certain mental health conditions. At the same time, states like Colorado have begun developing regulated frameworks that allow trained professionals to provide legal natural medicine services.
Within this emerging landscape, psychedelic assisted therapy has become an important and evolving approach. This model combines the careful use of psychedelic substances with structured psychological support before, during, and after the experience. When done responsibly and within a legal framework, psychedelic work can become a powerful tool for reflection, emotional processing, and personal transformation.
My practice offers psychedelic counseling and psilocybin therapy within the legal natural medicine system in Colorado. The approach I bring to this work is grounded in modern clinical science, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and a deep respect for the profound experiences that psychedelics can sometimes evoke.
What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?
Psychedelic assisted therapy refers to a structured therapeutic process in which a psychedelic substance is used as part of a broader psychological treatment framework. Unlike recreational use, this approach emphasizes careful preparation, professional support during the experience, and thoughtful integration afterward.
The process typically unfolds in three phases.
The first phase is preparation. In preparation sessions we spend time discussing your goals, personal history, mental health background, and intentions for the experience. We also talk about what psychedelic states can feel like, how to navigate challenging moments, and how to approach the experience with curiosity and openness. Preparation helps create a foundation of safety and trust before working with psilocybin.
The second phase is the psychedelic experience itself. In the regulated Colorado model, this occurs in a licensed healing center with trained facilitators present to provide support. During the session, the psychedelic medicine may temporarily alter perception, emotion, and awareness. Many people describe gaining new perspectives on their life, relationships, or personal challenges.
The third phase is integration. Integration sessions help translate insights from the psychedelic experience into meaningful and lasting changes in daily life. This might involve reflecting on emotional breakthroughs, identifying new behavioral patterns, or making sense of symbolic or spiritual themes that arose during the journey. When people talk about psychedelic therapy, they are referring to this complete therapeutic container—not just the psychedelic experience itself.

Why legal natural medicine services?
Colorado has created a regulated system for natural medicine services that allows adults to access psilocybin therapy in structured, professionally supervised settings. This system was designed to prioritize safety, transparency, and professional accountability.
As a licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in the State of Colorado, I provide structured psilocybin facilitation that is fully aligned with state regulations and best practices emerging from modern psychedelic research.
My role is not that of a shaman or spiritual guru. Instead, I approach this work as a Western-trained psychedelic-assisted therapist who draws on evidence-based psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and contemporary research from leading universities and clinical programs studying psychedelic treatment.
While psychedelic traditions have existed in many cultures for centuries, the modern clinical model focuses on integrating these experiences with psychological frameworks that support long-term mental health and behavior change.
Working within the regulated system also helps ensure that the entire process is transparent, ethical, and focused on the well-being of participants.
Does it work?
Over the past two decades, scientific research into psychedelic substances has expanded dramatically. Studies at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University and New York University have explored the therapeutic potential of psilocybin for a range of conditions.
Early research suggests that psychedelic therapy may offer benefit for several areas of mental health, including:
Depression
Alcohol Use Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Cluster Headaches
Eating Disorders
Existential distress associated with serious illness
While research is ongoing and psychedelic treatments are not a cure-all, many studies have reported meaningful improvements for participants when psilocybin is combined with structured psychological support.
One of the unique aspects of psychedelic experiences is their ability to temporarily shift perspective. People sometimes describe feeling less stuck in habitual patterns of thinking, more connected to their values, or more compassionate toward themselves and others.
However, these experiences can also be emotionally intense. For that reason, responsible psychedelic work requires careful screening, preparation, and integration.
In my practice, I approach psychedelic assisted therapy with both scientific rigor and humility. Every person’s experience is different, and the goal is not to impose a particular interpretation but to support each individual in discovering what the experience means for them.
A safe and compassionate approach
Psychedelic work is ultimately about creating the conditions for insight, healing, and meaningful change. Whether someone is seeking relief from depression, exploring their relationship with substances, processing trauma, or simply looking for greater clarity in their life, the therapeutic relationship plays a central role.
My intention is to create a container for your experience - a space that feels safe, compassionate, and grounded. Psychedelic therapy is not about forcing transformation or chasing dramatic experiences. Instead, it is about approaching the process with curiosity, respect, and careful attention to each person’s unique goals.
With thoughtful preparation, supportive guidance, and ongoing integration, psychedelic assisted therapy can become a powerful tool for reflection, emotional healing, and renewed hope.
