Online California and Arizona Psychedelic Integrated Therapy.
Have you had a Therapeutic drug trip lately?
Have you heard about psychedelic therapy yet? It is definitely something that has been gaining more traction over the last few years and for good reason people have found great success in healing their mental health struggles. People who struggle with severe depression and PTSD, who have tried everything with no relief, have found relief with psychedelic therapy. Psychedelic therapy is the treatment of mental health disorders with the help of psychedelic drugs such as ketamine, psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and ayahuasca. Full disclosure, I do not offer psychedelic-assisted therapy (I cannot prescribe or be there with you while you take it) but in my online therapy practice, I work with people all over California, helping them process experiences both good and bad, meaning I offer psychedelic integrated therapy.
There are no bad trips just difficult ones.

Psychedelic Informed Therapy in Arizona and California
More and more people are being part of clinical trials to help treat a wide range of mental health issues, and the results are promising. Having a psychedelic experience and processing it in therapy has helped countless people finally make changes in their life and finally live a life worth living, free from suffering. This stuff is cutting edge and not something that is taught in school, at least not when I went. But because psychedelics in therapy are gaining attention, I found it necessary to take additional training so that I could support people as they navigate this experience, by providing psychedelic-integrated therapy virtually.
What is Psychedelic Informed Therapy in Arizona and California
Maybe you have experienced a psychedelic trip, legally in a trial, or ketamine which is currently legal. Or perhaps you traveled to another country to a wellness center that offers a psychedelic substance. Maybe you took something a friend gave you. Regardless of how a psychedelic experience came to be in your life, you are now faced with a million questions about the experience and you are grappling with big life questions.
You might be struggling with the meaning of life and what to do with the time you have here on this planet. Maybe you have a different perspective about past issues you have struggled with. Maybe you are scared that you have lost your mind and are unsure about what is reality.
In my online therapy practice, I can help you navigate a past drug trip and integrate the experience into your life so that you can live with a greater sense of awareness and ease. I cannot provided you with medication but I can support you in integrating your past experience in a holistic way with out shame.
As of right now, only ketamine-assisted therapy is something that is legal and clinics that offer ketamine-assisted therapy continue to pop up all over the country. Ketamine-assisted therapy has been shown to help people with a wide range of mental health disorders, such as major depression disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and severe anxiety. I have heard of stories where people were constantly struggling with intense feelings of rage, sadness, and oftentimes suicidal thoughts. And after trying ketamine as part of their treatment, they report that they feel like they can finally breathe again. That is powerful.
As of right now psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and ayahuasca are not legal to use as treatment options for mental health issues such as depression and PTSD. Right now the only way that a person can legally get this treatment is by finding and getting accepted into clinical trials. Some of these might be legally prescribed for mental health struggles like PTSD and treatment-resistant depression in the next 2-4years. Talk about an exciting, groundbreaking time in the mental health field! The scientific community is working hard on approving this as a legitimate treatment and the trials that are currently going on are showing promising results. This is good news for so many people who have struggled for far too long with a mental health issue that won’t respond to typical treatments.
People are looking to not online Ketamine but MDMA, LSD, and ayahuasca, because they are trying desperately to find something to help them overcome disorders like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. So people either will get these drugs from someone on the street or go where it is legal like at a retreat or wellness center in another country. I don’t blame people, if I was suffering and nothing was working I am sure I would do anything to feel better.
The Importance of Trauma Informed Therapist
It is so important that you get support from a therapist following a psychedelic experience. It is important to pick a therapist who is comfortable and has knowledge about psychedelics in therapy, like me. I have done additional training on psychedelics in therapy to be able to provide psychedelic integrated therapy because I want to provide people with a nonjudgmental space to explore what this experience was like for them. Often people have no idea how to unpack what they experienced and need a place to process it so that they can integrate the experience into their life. People will report that this was the most liberating experience of their lives, crying about how they finally can feel relief. For other people, they feel like they have opened a box and now are left wondering how they will ever be able to “return to normal life again.” And I have even heard horror stories where people have been violated while on a psychedelic trip. This is sickening as you are in such a vulnerable place wanting to heal but instead, you are further hurt. As a trauma-informed therapist I can help.
In my online therapy practice, I work with people all over California and Arizona, helping them process experiences both good and bad. I provide a safe space to explore the things that can make other therapists uncomfortable. I won’t judge, because how could I? You just wanted to feel better. I work with people on integrating tough experiences. There is a saying in the psychedelic therapy community, that there are no bad trips, just difficult ones. I can help you unpack a difficult drug trip and help you live the life you deserve.
