Psychedelic Assisted Therapy FAQ:

What training is needed for a therapist to be able to offer psychedelic assisted therapy?
To provide therapy with psilocybin, Colorado requires 150 hours of psychedelic specific training, 40 hours of practicum, 50 hours of consultation, and a 25 hours of ethics training. Ketamine providers do not currently have a training requirement, though many courses and trainings exist. We possess the Natural Medicine Facilitator Colorado license for psilocybin, and have completed a 48 hour ketamine assisted therapy training as well as a 4 month supervised externship. It is vitally important that you ask any prospective therapist about their training, and if it included them having their own experiences, observation of other sessions, and mentorship.

Set and Setting are the key to a productive psychedelic experience. Begin by limiting your media consumption, and consider eating a plant based diet. On the day of, arrive having fasted for 3+ hours. Consider asking friends if they are open to calls or texts after your session. Ask family members for space and support. Bring your favorite blanket, pillow or personal item to your session, as well as your intentions for the session.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for psychedelics?
Depending on the medicine, there are a few medical conditions that make psychedelic assisted therapy unsafe. This is why we complete a medical screening before making plans to begin psychedelic assisted therapy. Certain psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia are also contraindicated. On the practical side, if you are in good health and have some stability in your life to support your healing and growth, you are a good candidate. Your initial consultation is a good time to ask this question. Your therapist can also recommend which substance might be a good fit for you.
