Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) pairs a time-tested medicine with a carefully designed therapeutic container to help the brain and psyche reorganize toward health. When combined with skilled preparation and integration, many clients experience durable shifts in mood, meaning-making, and behavior.

Duration difference: A psilocybin journey typically lasts ~6 hours of active inner experience. By contrast, ketamine’s medicine window is relatively brief (~45–90 minutes; most clinics book 2–3 hours total). Psilocybin’s longer arc invites deeper narrative, emotional, and spiritual processing—one reason the preparation and integration matter so much.

While outcomes vary, modern clinical studies suggest psilocybin may support treatment-resistant depression, end-of-life distress, anxiety, compulsive patterns, and burnout—especially when combined with psychotherapy. Mechanistically, psilocybin:

• Increases neuroplasticity and network flexibility (helping the brain form healthier connections)
• Softens rigid rumination and repetitive self-stories
• Opens a powerful window for insight, learning, and values-aligned change

Bottom line: the medicine can open the door; therapy and integration help you walk through it—and keep going.

A large share of “psychedelic services” in the marketplace are medicine-first or medicine-only models. They often:

1. Skip preparation, leaving clients under-informed about set/setting, intentions, and medication interactions
2. Skip integration, offering little support to translate insights into daily life

That can produce short-term relief—but it underuses psilocybin’s transformational window. My model is different by design: we front-load education and safety, hold the journey with skilled presence, then follow with practical integration so shifts can stick.

1) Two Preparation Sessions (60–75 min each)

• Comprehensive medical/psych screening; med and contraindication review
• Intention setting, consent, and a personalized plan for mindset, music, and environment
• Nervous-system readiness (sleep, nutrition, breath/somatic tools) and “what to expect”

2) Medicine Journey (about 6 hours per session)

• Calm, curated space with eyeshades and music
• Continuous, trauma-sensitive facilitation focused on safety, consent, and trust
• Real-time support for somatic awareness, emotion processing, imagery, and meaning-making

Option A — Single Journey Package: 2 prep + 1 psilocybin journey (~6 hrs) + 3 integration
Option B — Three-Journey Package: 2 prep + 3 psilocybin journeys (~6 hrs each) + 3 integration
Journeys are typically spaced 2–6 weeks apart to consolidate gains.

3) Three Integration Sessions (50–60 min each)

• Turn insights into action: nervous-system regulation, habit/behavior change, relationship skills
• Written integration plan with clear micro-steps
• Ongoing safety check-ins and adjustments to sustain progress

Timeline: Single-journey package usually completes in 3–5 weeks; three-journey series spans 8–16 weeks, individualized to your goals and nervous system.

• Screening first: psilocybin isn’t appropriate for everyone. We review medications, personal/family psychiatric history, cardiovascular risks, and current stressors.
• Colorado compliance: Medicine sessions occur only within approved frameworks and compliant settings. Preparation and integration can always occur with Dr. Kate.
• Trauma-informed care: pace, consent, and your felt sense of safety come first.
• Many clients report relief from depressive/anxious patterns, renewed purpose, and more flexible responses to stress.
• With integration, improvements more often generalize to daily life—energy, boundaries, relationships, creativity, and health routines.

All services are offered as complete packages to protect safety and outcomes (no à la carte).

• Single Journey Package: 2 prep + 1 journey (~6 hrs) + 3 integration
• Three-Journey Package: 2 prep + 3 journeys (~6 hrs each) + 3 integration

Message Dr. Kate for pricing and availability. We’ll explore fit, timing, and whether a single journey or a three-journey series best serves your goals.
