Psilocybin-assisted therapy

First and foremost, Psilocybin, while decriminalized in the state of Colorado, is still not FDA approved. Psilocybin-assisted therapy is an experimental therapeutic method used to address a variety of mental health conditions. Evidence shows persistent improvements in particular mood disorders including major depression and  treatment resistant depression. It is under investigation for bipolar disorder. Psilocybin-assisted therapy may help with a reduction in some substance abuse disorders and behavioral addictions as well as existential distress, anxiety, migraines, some eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, and potentially neurodivergent conditions.     

Psychedelics have been used for thousands of years by countless people from different cultures in different eras and for different purposes. Psychedelic drugs have a very small likelihood of causing physical addiction, major physiological disturbances, delirium, disorientation, or amnesia. Treatment may produce thought, mood and perceptual changes.

Consultation and the potential use of a psychiatric intake will help you determine if you are an appropriate candidate for psilocybin treatment.

Some medical and psychiatric conditions need to be treated before you can safely work with psilocybin. These include heart conditions, a history of mania or psychosis, diagnosis of schizophrenia, epilepsy, pregnancy or active breastfeeding, current use of SSRIs as well as acute feelings of suicidality.

While awaiting for FDA approval, there is much discussion to be had. Please feel free to contact me for further details.
