Psychedelic Integration Therapy

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

Psychedelic experiences can be profound and often bring up powerful emotions, memories, insights or shifts in perspective that can be difficult to make sense of on your own. 

 

Similar altered states of consciousness can also arise through practices such as breathwork or meditation, and integration can support these experiences too.

​

Integration therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of your experience, at your own pace and in a way that feels grounded and supported. It can help bridge the gap between the experience itself and lasting, meaningful change.

​

This includes experiences that felt distressing, frightening or overwhelming, sometimes called a “bad trip,” where difficult emotions, memories or sensations came up. With the right support, these experiences can be processed safely and understood in a way that eases distress and supports recovery and growth.

​

Integration therapy can help with:​

  • Making sense of psychedelic experiences that feel confusing, intense or emotionally charged

  • Processing difficult or distressing experiences, including “bad trips”

  • Working through unresolved material that may have surfaced

  • Finding language for experiences that are hard to put into words

  • Staying connected to meaningful insights over time

  • Navigating vulnerability, sensitivity or shifts in perspective after an experience

  • Bringing new awareness into relationships, patterns and day-to-day life

  • Supporting nervous system regulation and a sense of stability

  • Translating insight into practical, values-aligned change

At Ora Clinical Psychology, psychedelic integration therapy is offered within a harm-reduction framework, with an emphasis on psychological safety, grounded support, and ethical care.


Integration therapy does not involve the provision or facilitation of substances. Any engagement with altered states through medical pathways should occur within appropriate legal and regulated settings in Australia.

 

My work is informed by my training and experience in providing medicine-assisted therapy at several clinics across Australia.


The same fee as a standard individual therapy session applies.
