Preparation and integration therapy for psychedelics

Trauma-informed, attachment-centered support for people exploring expanded states of consciousness.

**This is not about the substance. This is about the healing your system is reaching for.**

Psychedelic experiences—whether through ketamine-assisted work, legal retreats, or naturally occurring expanded states—can open doors that the mind has protected for years.

But without support, those insights can feel overwhelming, confusing, or hard to apply in daily life.

Preparation and integration therapy offers a grounded, trauma-informed space to:

  • Explore your intentions

  • Understand your nervous system’s capacity

  • Work with insights and emotions that arise

  • Integrate the meaning, clarity, or activation that follows

  • Make sense of what your mind, body, or inner parts revealed

  • This work honors safety, embodiment, and depth—so your experience becomes a catalyst for healing, not another overwhelming event

What Preparation & Integration Therapy Is:

Before an experience (Preparation)

  • Clarify intentions and align with your values

  • Understand your emotional + nervous system patterns

  • Explore your internal parts (IFS-informed)

  • Build somatic grounding skills

  • Identify subconscious blocks or fears

  • Create a safe, trauma-informed internal “container”

After an experience (Integration)

  • Process emotional content, memories, or insights

  • Work with any activation, confusion, or overwhelm

  • Make sense of symbolic or somatic experiences

  • Anchor new awareness into daily life

  • Work through attachment themes that surfaced

  • Support the nervous system in re-regulating

  • Turn insight into sustainable transformation

This is not substance-assisted therapy.

This is trauma-informed support for people who are already engaging in legal psychedelic work or are returning from retreats.

What to expect in our work together

  • Psychedelic experiences open the system quickly.

    Your body, memory, and attachment patterns may surface in ways that feel:

    • raw

    • emotional

    • disorienting

    • expansive

    • confusing

    • powerful

    • destabilizing

    • liberating

     

    Without support, people often:

    • suppress the insights

    • struggle with re-entry

    • feel activated or dysregulated

    • dismiss the meaning

    • get stuck in old patterns

    • feel “opened” without direction

    Integration therapy ensures you don’t lose what was revealed—

    and that your system has the safety it needs to hold it.

  • Somatic. Trauma-informed. Attachment-focused. Depth-oriented.

    Your integration space is grounded in:

    Somatic Therapy & Polyvagal Work

    We track what your body is saying—not just the story.

    Trauma-Informed Care

    We work at the pace your nervous system can tolerate.

    Parts Work

    We explore the parts of you that surfaced, softened, or released during your experience.

    Attachment Repair

    Expanded states often reveal relational wounds—

    we work gently with those.

    Meaning-Making + Embodiment

    Insight without integration doesn’t create change.

    We help the insight land in the body.

    Shadow + Pattern Work

    We explore what is trying to be seen so it can transform.

    Your lived experience is honored.

    No pathologizing.

    No judgment.

    No spiritual bypassing.

    Just grounded, real, human support.

  • You might benefit from preparation/integration support if you:

    • Are considering a legal psychedelic experience

    • Are returning from a ketamine clinic or retreat

    • Experienced something confusing, overwhelming, or profound

    • Feel like old trauma was stirred or resurfaced

    • Want to deepen the insights you received

    • Need help grounding or making meaning

    • Want to explore the somatic or emotional layers that opened

    • Are navigating a spiritual emergence

    • Want a safe, attuned therapist who understands inner parts, trauma, and the nervous system

    This work pairs especially well with people already invested in:

    • personal growth

    • trauma healing

    • attachment repair

    • somatic or spiritual practices

    • high-achiever burnout recovery

    • depth work and intuition
