Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Grounded support for non-ordinary experiences
Psychedelic Integration in Oakland, San Francisco, & across California
Making meaning after an experience that changed something.
Psychedelic experiences can be profound, disorienting, and difficult to translate into ordinary life. Integration therapy provides a grounded, supportive space to process what arose — intense emotions, difficult memories, spiritual openings, or insights that don't yet have language — and to connect those experiences to sustainable changes in how you live, relate, and understand yourself. Whether your experience was guided or unguided, recent or years ago, this work helps you make meaning of what happened and bring it home. This work tends to be slower and less linear than symptom-focused therapy.
This is a space where the full context of your experience is honored and explored with care.
What is Psychedelic Integration?
Psychedelic integration therapy is talk therapy specifically focused on processing and making meaning of psychedelic or non-ordinary experiences. It is not the same as psychedelic-assisted therapy — there are no substances involved in sessions. Integration therapy happens before, after, or between experiences, and supports you in understanding what arose, connecting it to your life, and translating insights into lasting change.
Many people find that a powerful experience opens something up but leaves them without the tools or the space to work with what emerged. Integration therapy provides that space — grounded, informed, and without judgment about the nature of your experience or how you came to it.
I work with individuals who:
Want to process and make meaning out of one or more psychedelic experiences
Experienced intense emotions, anxiety, difficult memories, or trauma surfacing during a session
Are navigating a spiritual opening or shift in worldview and need support integrating it
Want to translate insights into meaningful and sustainable changes in their relationships, identity, and sense of purpose
Are navigating identity, cultural, or systemic dimensions of their experience
Want to explore the biographical, intergenerational, or historical context of what arose
Had a difficult or challenging experience and need space to process it without judgment
What we can explore together
Processing what surfaced — emotions, memories, insights, and experiences that are still unresolved
Making meaning of the experience within your personal history and intergenerational context
Translating insights into real shifts in how you live, relate, and see yourself
Connecting the experience to your cultural, spiritual, or ancestral background
Integrating shifts in identity, worldview, or sense of purpose
