Our psychedelic program integrates psychedelic experiential sessions and evidence-based psychotherapy into an intensive program designed to maximize the benefits you may receive. Our program offers medically and therapeutically supported experiences; you will be medically monitored by our on-site medical staff, and you will never be left alone during your Psychedelic Experiential Sessions. You will be accompanied by your certified psychedelic therapist from the beginning to end of your experience. In addition, you will work with one of our team of highly trained psychedelic therapists to prepare for your experiences and to integrate your insights following your psychedelic journeys.

We believe The Catalyst Center’s Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy model prioritizes your comfort and maximizes the effectiveness of psychedelics for mental health conditions as well as for personal and spiritual growth.

Psychedelic Therapy Program Overview

Step One: Intake and Medical Screening

You and our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will meet to discuss your medical and mental health history, answer any questions you may have, and weigh the pros and cons of our psychedelic therapy program for your specific situation. If you are medically cleared, you will work together with our medical team to determine if psychedelic therapy is the best option for you at this time and if so, which program is most appropriate for your goals.

Step Two: Preparatory Sessions

You and your psychedelic therapist meet for one or two sessions to discuss your history and set intentions for your sessions. You will talk through what to expect and explore your preferences for how your therapist can support you during and after your experiential sessions.

 Step Three: Psychedelic Experiential Sessions

You will be fully supported medically and therapeutically throughout each of your Psychedelic Experiential Sessions. Sessions are approximately two hours with additional recovery time as needed. Plan to take the rest of the day off on your Psychedelic Experiential Session days. You will need a ride home after each session.

Step Four: Integration Sessions

You and your psychedelic therapist will meet in the days following each Psychedelic Experiential Session to integrate what came up for you in your experiential session and more deeply internalize the experience.
