Question 1

What is psychedelic assisted therapy

Accepted Answer

Psychedelic assisted therapy is a treatment model where a person receives mental health support before and after a psychedelic experience. The goal is emotional healing, trauma processing, and long term change.
 I offer only psychotherapy, not the medicine itself.

Question 2

Do you provide or give any psychedelic substances?

Accepted Answer

No. I do not provide, supply, recommend, or arrange access to any psychedelic substances.
 My work is preparation and integration psychotherapy only.

Question 3

Who do you support?

Accepted Answer

I support adults who:
 receive ketamine treatment in California,
 participate in approved research or clinical programs,
 travel overseas for legal psychedelic therapy,
 or choose to use psychedelics on their own and want mental health support and harm reduction.
All care stays within the scope of California psychotherapy.

Question 4

What are the main medicines people use for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Ketamine
Ketamine is legal in the United States when provided by a licensed medical professional. It is used for depression, PTSD, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

MDMA
MDMA is not legal for general clinical use in California. It is available only through research studies.
 Integration therapy is allowed for people who received MDMA legally overseas.

Psilocybin
Psilocybin is not legal for therapy in California.
 It is legally regulated only in Oregon and in certain countries overseas.
 I can support preparation and integration, but not access.

Question 5

Why do people choose psychedelic assisted therapy?

Accepted Answer

People look for this option when they feel stuck with:
 depression, PTSD, anxiety, emotional numbness, trauma, grief, burnout, or relationship stress.
 Psychedelics can create new insights and emotional release that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot reach.

Question 6

What is preparation therapy?

Accepted Answer

Preparation is the emotional work before the psychedelic experience.
 It includes:
 understanding your mental health history,
 creating intentions,
 learning grounding skills,
 reviewing emotional safety,
 and planning support for after the session.
Preparation helps you feel safe, ready, and centered.

Question 7

What is integration therapy?

Accepted Answer

Integration is the therapy that happens after the experience.
 It includes:
 talking through emotions or memories that came up,
 understanding insights,
 supporting the nervous system,
 tracking mood and PTSD symptoms,
 and turning the experience into real life change.
Integration is where long term healing actually happens.

Question 8

How can EMDR help with psychedelic integration?

Accepted Answer

EMDR can support the healing process in several ways.

Before the experience
 EMDR can calm the nervous system, reduce fear, and prepare the mind to feel safer during the psychedelic session.

After the experience
 Some people uncover memories, emotions, or trauma that feel unfinished. EMDR helps the brain continue processing. It can:
 reduce emotional intensity,
 create clarity,
 help complete trauma processing,
 support new beliefs,
 and strengthen long term healing.
EMDR and psychedelics both work with memory, emotion, and the nervous system, which makes them a strong combination when used correctly.

Question 9

What symptoms can this combination help with?

Accepted Answer

Clients often seek support for:
 treatment resistant depression,
 PTSD and complex trauma,
 anxiety and panic,
 grief,
 emotional disconnection,
 negative beliefs,
 and life transitions.

Question 10

Is this safe?

Accepted Answer

When done with proper preparation, medical supervision for the medicine, and integration therapy afterward, the process can be safe and effective.
 I focus on emotional safety, grounding, and helping you move through the experience without overwhelm.

Question 11

Can you help me process a difficult or confusing psychedelic experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients come for integration after challenging or unclear experiences.
 Together we explore what happened, support the nervous system, and help you feel stable and grounded again.

Question 12

Can I work with you if I plan to use psychedelics on my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. California therapists are allowed to offer harm reduction and mental health support for clients who choose to use psychedelics independently.
 I do not encourage or suggest use, and I do not help with access. I support the emotional process only.

Question 13

Do you work with people who traveled overseas for legal psychedelic therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients receive MDMA or psilocybin therapy in countries where it is legal.
 I provide preparation before they travel and integration when they return.

Question 14

What does a session look like?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are calm, supportive, and focused on your emotional experience.
 We use a mix of:
 talk therapy,
 somatic grounding,
 mindfulness,
 EMDR when appropriate,
 and nervous system regulation tools.
The goal is clarity, stability, and emotional strength.

Question 15

What should I expect after a psychedelic experience

Accepted Answer

People often feel open, sensitive, emotional, or reflective.
 Integration therapy helps you:
 stay grounded,
 understand what came up,
 create meaning,
 and build healthy patterns.

Question 16

Do you offer remote sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sessions can be online or in person, depending on your needs (and location).
