Psilocybin Assisted Therapy in Colorado

Let us walk with you on your path toward healing

Reflective Healing will be offering legal psilocybin-assisted therapy at our micro-healing center in Fort Collins starting August 2025

We believe in the power of mushroom medicine to help individuals ease mental health struggles, connect with a sense of purpose and belonging, and help integrate the whole self.

In our experience, the deepest results from working with psilocybin mushrooms come when you are profoundly committed to your own healing journey outside of the administration session.

It may also be the case that you require more than one psilocybin session to create deep, lasting changes, which could take place over years, alongside other therapies and healing practices.

When done in tandem with ongoing talk therapy and/or healing modalities, with trusted practitioners and a personal commitment to the preparation and integration process, psilocybin therapy can produce transformative outcomes.

How Does Psilocybin Therapy Work at Reflective Healing?

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Screening

You fill out our interest form, and we will use this as the first step in assessing your readiness and fit for how RH practices this service. We will then reach out to you to schedule a therapist consultation and find out more about your reasons for seeking psilocybin therapy. 

You will then undergo a formal screening process to ensure you are a good fit for psilocybin therapy, which could last from 1 to 3 sessions, depending on the complexity of your case.

Step 2: Prepare for the Journey

If, after your initial screening, you seem to be a potentially good fit for psilocybin therapy services, you will then begin the preparation process with your therapist. In these sessions, your therapist will focus on establishing the therapeutic relationship and a safe container within which to do the psychedelic work.

During these sessions, you will dive deeper into your intentions for this kind of treatment and therapy. There will be discussions around expectations and how to navigate and reduce outcome-oriented thinking in this space. 

This time is also used to ensure that you feel physically, mentally, and spiritually safe to undergo your psilocybin administration session, and that this is a good path for your mental healthcare treatment.

You and your practitioner will discuss all aspects of psilocybin and the potential outcomes of your interaction with the medicine. These sessions will be a place to answer any questions you may have about the experience itself and also discuss integration. 

Step 3: Administration Session

During the administration session, you will receive the mushroom medicine in a safe and intentionally curated container with your therapist. The process can last from 6-8 hours, and you will be guided through the experience with care, presence, and compassion.

Step 4: Post-Session Integration

Following your psilocybin experience, you will have a follow-up integration session with your therapist, which is included in the price of the administration and required by the state regulations. This meeting provides a safe space for you to unpack and process your journey and start to understand how you might begin to integrate it into your life.

Step 5: Ongoing Integration and Therapy

We recommend continuing integration sessions to support the process that began in the administration session and ensure that the information that you connected with during your journey is honored and processed. The active integration process may last between a few sessions and a year or more, depending on your support needs.

Research Behind Psilocybin Assisted Therapy

Over the last couple of decades, psilocybin research has seen a huge uptick. Clinical trials are exploring its ability to treat a variety of conditions, including treatment-resistant depression, end-of-life distress, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), cluster headaches, and various addictions.

Further studies need to be completed to definitively state psilocybin’s effectiveness in treating these chronic mental health and physical health conditions, but so far, evidence is overwhelmingly positive.

 FAQs

  • Reflective Healing therapists cannot provide therapeutic services to individuals in states where they are not licensed.

    Therefore, all therapeutic services must take place within the confines of the state where the practitioner is licensed. If you're interested in coming out to Colorado for a psilocybin mushroom session, you could, in theory, receive the screening, preparation, and integration support in Colorado. However, we cannot legally provide those services virtually across state lines unless the therapist is licensed in that state. 

    We plan to create retreat-like opportunities for out-of-state clients in the future, but currently, we are serving only Colorado residents in our area.

  • This is unique to each person and will depend on your individual process. While one person may require fewer preparation therapy sessions, others may need to spend a year or more preparing for the psilocybin journey. This largely depends on the amount of inner work (therapy, healing practices, self-reflection, etc.) the person has already done and previous experience with altered states, as well as someone’s unique mental health needs.

  • Even if you’ve never done psychedelics before, you can undergo psilocybin therapy. Our therapists will complete a screening process to make sure you don’t have any medical or pharmaceutical contraindications, and will prepare you in the right time so that you may enter the psilocybin session feeling safe, grounded, and resourced.

  • Rather than “bad trip”, we prefer to use the term “challenging experience” in the context of safe, guided psilocybin journeys. While there’s no way of knowing the kind of experience you’ll have, we will help equip you with tools to navigate challenging moments. Oftentimes, the most difficult experiences are the ones that help bring about the most positive changes in the aftermath.

  • Psilocybin on its own is not a cure for depression. Research shows that it is most impactful when combined with sustained psychotherapy and support. While the psilocybin mushrooms can create a window of opportunity for habit change and perspective shifts post-session, the individual must take initiative around their own healing to experience long-term positive results.

  • Although one mushroom administration session may greatly improve your symptoms and help you to feel better, the most seasoned psychedelic users find that mushrooms (and other similar psychedelics) help to facilitate an ongoing path of internal exploration and healing.

    It is uncommon that one psilocybin mushroom journey would be deemed “enough” to heal mental health struggles and challenges. At Reflective Healing, we believe that having mushrooms as a tool in our toolbox as therapists is great, but it is also just that – a tool.  We suggest recruiting many different tools while attempting to treat mental health issues and needs, and encourage clients to think more expansively about their overall healing journey when considering developing a relationship with psilocybin mushrooms.

  • This his greatly depends. PTSD is a broad term for post-traumatic stress disorder. There is currently no research that supports the use of mushrooms for the treatment of PTSD. That being said, some forms of trauma may be helped with the assistance of psilocybin therapy in combination with other healing modalities such as EMDR and/or ongoing talk therapy. 

    Some clients experiencing PTSD may have already done a sufficient and substantial amount of work on their mental health condition, leaving them in a place where they feel well-resourced and regulated. For these clients, mushrooms may be a valuable next step. 

    However, if you have never addressed your PTSD symptoms and diagnosis, and you're still deeply struggling with feeling regulated and somatically grounded, it may be best to seek other kinds of treatment first.

    We encourage clients interested in psilocybin therapy to commit to the larger process of healing that mushrooms can be a part of, including talk therapy and other healing modalities. You are invited to fill out our interest form and complete the screening process.
