Psilocybin-Facilitated Therapy & Journeys in Colorado

I'm glad you are here and considering whether psilocybin-facilitated therapy might support your healing or deeper exploration of yourself, including the interconnected world you exist in.

This work is for adults (21+) who have meaningful groundwork under the belt already. This could include prior individual therapy, somatic/body work, a meditation/contemplative practice, relational work, or systemic work (including individual and community). It is for those who are curious about what a legal, therapeutically supported psilocybin experience might open up for them. I'm especially drawn to working with deep thinkers and feelers, sensitive folks, and creatives — as well as trauma survivors, helpers and fellow therapists, and those doing heart-centered social justice work. If you're looking to deepen a grounded spiritual practice, reclaim one after harm, or simply seek a more honest relationship with yourself and the world, this work may be for you.

How Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitation works in Colorado

Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act allows licensed facilitators to offer supervised psilocybin experiences through licensed healing centers. This is not a clinical trial, and it is not the same as being prescribed a medication. It's a legal, regulated framework built around informed consent, safety, and preparation. I offer this work as a licensed facilitator under supervision with Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO, and every session follows the same three stages.

1. Preparation. Before any medicine session, we meet to get to know each other, review your history, talk through your intentions, and make sure this path is a good fit for you right now. This is also where I answer your questions and we build the trust that the rest of the work depends on. It is a vulnerable process to move into medicine work and it is important to me that you feel prepared and relationally supported moving into altered state work. I also work from a trauma-informed lens with particular focus on boundaries, consent, comfort levels with touch, and education on what to expect. 

2. Administration. The session itself takes place at Reflective Healing, a cozy and spacious licensed therapy center in Fort Collins, typically lasting 6 hours. I'm with you the entire time, supporting your physical and emotional safety as the experience unfolds. We incorporate any particular ritual elements, therapeutic focuses, or intentions that you are bringing to this space. Depending on the work you are doing in the journey, I can be an active therapeutic relational presence or hold a reflective safe container space for your internal process to unfold. Often both. 

3. Integration. What happens after the medicine session is where a lot of the real work lives. We meet again to help you make sense of what came up and translate it into lasting change in your daily life. For clients already in ongoing therapy with me, this integration work can draw on the somatic, art therapy, and EMDR approaches I already bring to my practice. Integration can include movement practices, nature connection, art based expression or anchors from the journey space, somatic listening or integration of felt shifts within the journey, and continued support as the learning unfolds. I will also normalize the expansion and contraction shifts that often occur after expanded states. 

Is this a fit for you?

This isn't the right path for everyone, and part of my role is helping you find that out honestly. Screening includes a look at your physical and mental health history, current medications, and any contraindications, since safety comes first. I'll always tell you directly if I think another form of support would serve you better.

It's also worth naming clearly: this is not a treatment for a specific diagnosis.  While there is promising research and state level approval for psilocybin facilitation, it isn't FDA-approved, and it doesn't replace any psychiatric or medical care you're receiving elsewhere. What it can offer is a legal, supported space to explore what is possible. Held with the same care I bring to all of my clinical work.

My approach

My approach combines clinical, trauma-informed skill with a relational, attachment-focused somatic perspective. Depending on what's meaningful to you, I also draw on transpersonal themes, ritual or cultural elements, and ancestry or lineage work. This is always held with deep reverence for the mystery and awe possible in altered-state experiences. I'm a trauma-specialized therapist and certified psilocybin facilitator based in Boulder, Colorado — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, and Natural Medicine in Training (NMIT) Facilitator. My clinical background is trauma-specialized and body-art based - and that same orientation shapes how I hold preparation and integration around psilocybin sessions. With particular attention to what your nervous system needs, not just what your mind is making of the experience. I am honored to be able to provide this offering and deeply respect the various lineages and advocates who have made it possible in Colorado at this time. I aim to continue to hold reverence, reciprocity, and support right relationship to this work and beyond.
