Process and Ground with a Psychedelic Integration Therapist
What is Psychedelic Integration?
Integration is the process of weaving your insights into your daily life, making meaning of your experience, and creating sustainable changes that align with your evolving self. Whether you experienced a powerful breakthrough, encountered past trauma, or simply need guidance in processing what came up, this work with a psychedelic integration therapist supports you in grounding the experience into lasting transformation.
The Integration Process:
Bridging the Experience with Daily Life
During integration, you may find that old habits, environments, or relationships no longer resonate with the version of you that has emerged. Adjusting to this new awareness can be both exciting and overwhelming. Together, we will explore how to:
Modify different aspects of life—career, relationships, habits, and routines—to align with your deeper self.
Cultivate practices that support your transformation such as meditation, journaling, creative expression and time in nature.
Develop emotional resilience and tools to navigate any discomfort that arises.
Understand and honor shifts in your identity, roles and perspectives.
Navigating Trauma & Processing Emotions
Psychedelics have a unique ability to activate the unconscious, often surfacing repressed trauma, forgotten memories, and deep-seated emotions. This can be a powerful yet challenging experience. You may be feeling disoriented, triggered, or overwhelmed in the aftermath.
Through compassionate guidance, we will:
Create a safe space to explore difficult emotions and experiences.
Work with somatic tools to connect the wisdom of your journey to your body.
Develop grounding techniques to regulate emotions and cultivate stability.
Support trauma healing and resolution with mindfulness-based approaches.
From Personal Healing to Collective Transformation
Psychedelic integration isn’t just about personal healing—it’s about stepping into your true, authentic self and embodying your purpose in the world. Many people feel called to bring their newfound awareness into service for the collective, whether through creative expression, community work, or other meaningful contributions.
If you’re feeling this pull, we can explore:
Aligning your life with your deepest values and purpose.
Navigating the transition from “Me” to “We”—moving beyond personal healing into collective action.
Learning new skills to support others on their healing paths.
Honoring your journey with integrity, love, and deep connection.

Anyone who has participated in a psychedelic ceremony and wants to continue processing their experience.
Those who have used psychedelics independently and seek a non-judgmental and confidential space to discuss what came up.
Individuals feeling disoriented, emotional, or overwhelmed after a psychedelic experience.
Those looking to integrate their insights into meaningful life changes.
What to Expect in a Session with a Psychedelic Integration Therapist?

Talk through your journey and uncover its deeper meaning.
Use somatic tools to connect your mind and body.
Develop practical strategies for navigating challenges and maintaining your personal growth.
