Psychedelic Harm Reduction Integration

Psychedelic Harm Reduction Integration Therapy (PHRI) is designed to assist individuals with deriving insight and benefit from psychedelic medicine or non-ordinary states of consciousness.

PHRI is thought to be a crucial factor in harnessing the healing power of these experiences.

Non-ordinary states can result from:

Use of psychedelic / psychoactive / psychotropic medication
Near death states / end of life
Unexplained experiences
Breath work
Deep prayer and meditative states
“Mystical experiences”
Ontological shock

These experiences alone, while powerful, often do not offer the lasting change people seek. Integration is where the real work happens.

PHRI often looks different depending on the person. It can be one or two sessions to process an experience; or longer term, for when insights unfold more slowly.

PHRI often includes mindfulness and somatic exercises, art, and music; in addition to other appropriate and personalized therapeutic interventions. We meet you where you are to help you on your path toward personal growth, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

Integration can help you:

Gain new perspective and understanding of yourself,
Navigate challenges more skillfully,
Address unresolved issues, or
Make lasting positive life changes.

We provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals to process and integrate the insights, emotions, and memories that arise after experiencing a psychedelic or non-ordinary state. We aim to support individuals through compassionate inquiry and with a transtheoretical approach.

We look forward to helping you make sense of your experiences, explore what they mean or represent, and integrate the lessons and insights you've gleaned into your day to day life.

MINIMIZE HARM

We take a harm reduction approach to promote education and safety in the psychedelic process, but WE DO NOT CONDONE USING PSYCHEDELICS ON YOUR OWN, nor do we provide, condone, or support the use of illegal substances.

PROPER TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS MATTER

Collaboration with experienced and qualified professionals minimizes harm. This is especially true for people at risk for or with pre-existing mental health challenges. Robust training for Psychedelic Integration therapists should involve courses on psychopharmacology, neuroscience, ethics, suicide prevention, crisis intervention, access and inclusion, harm reduction, and psychological safety.
