Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP)

• You can learn more about PSIP here: www.psychedelicsomatic.org

• PSIP can be used without any medicine, and your first session utilizing the model will be non-medicine so you can get a taste for the work without being in an altered state

• IFS and expressive arts can be woven into PSIP in various ways

• Clients can work with self sourced Cannabis or prescribed Ketamine

• Vaping cannabis is most reliable and preferred for this model

• Ketamine sublingual (under the tongue) lozenges are preferred for this model

• Cannabis and Ketamine are seen as “accelerators” of this model

• Clients do not listen to music with this model as it tends to be much more “interactional” than other forms of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy

• Clients working through relational trauma/struggles often start to feel a positive shift relating to others around the 10 medicine session mark

• Clients working through 1-time event traumas often start to feel a shift in reactivity (hypervigilance, specific triggers) around the 3rd medicine session.

• Integration sessions are not required for this model, but are recommended and can run up to 60 mins

• Medicine Sessions are two hours in length with a fee of $300 for each medicine session

• Clients are asked to agree that they will not drive or operate heavy machinery for the rest of the day after a session

• Clients are asked to find a friend or relative to give them a ride back home from medicine sessions or sign a waiver agreeing that they understand the risks in taking public transit and/or ride shares

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

• Clients work with Ketamine only in this model

• IFS and expressive arts can be woven into KAP in various ways

• Ketamine sublingual (under the tongue) lozenges are used for this model

• Clients can either be evaluated for a Ketamine script by their current prescriber if they’re comfortable prescribing, a local prescriber I can refer you to or Journey Clinical

• Clients can check out Journey Clinical here:

• Medicine sessions are three hours in length with a fee of $450 for a three hour session

• Many people will begin to feel a positive shift in their connections with their inner landscape and the world around them after 6 medicine sessions

• Clients will be listening to music that’s chosen specifically for Ketamine journeys during their sessions, and are free to talk as much or as little as they choose

• Clients often choose to start a K-IFS session by choosing a card from a traditional Tarot or an oracle deck

• Other energetic and spiritual tools can be used within this model per client’s request including opening ceremonially, clearing and grounding aromatherapy sprays and integrative energy work

• Anchoring sessions are required for this model since so much of the work involves meaning-making and informed life decisions/direction based on the meaning you are making from your experience

• Anchoring sessions are scheduled the day after a medicine session and are up to 60 minutes long

• Integration sessions are recommended and can be scheduled— more specifically looking at how you’re applying what you’ve learned to your daily life

• Clients are asked to agree that they will not drive or operate heavy machinery for the rest of the day after a session

• Clients are asked to find a friend or relative to give them a ride back home from medicine sessions or sign a waiver agreeing that they understand the risks in taking public transit and/or ride shares
