Psychedelic Support - Legal Integration & Risk Reduction Services

Picture
As part of my interests in helping people foster their sense of personal meaning, I serve as an Advisory Board Member and Consultant for Psychedelic Support, an online resource for clients and clinicians interested in legal psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and/or learning more about the themes that tend to occur within a non-ordinary state of consciousness.

Neither Psychedelic Support nor I condone the use of illicit substances outside of legally-sanctioned and ethically responsible research studies or cultural ceremonies. I also do not refer clients to sources of illicit substances.

However, alternative legal methods exist such as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, which I do support for my clients who are medically and psychologically appropriate for such care. Regardless of the use of psychedelic substances, the themes such experiences often elicit are available for exploration within the existential, growth-oriented psychotherapy I provide for all of my clients.
