Psychedelic Integration Therapy in New York
Psychedelic experiences, whether through ketamine therapy, ceremonial plant medicine, or personal exploration, can open powerful insights, emotions, and shifts in perspective. They can also bring up confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, or old wounds you didn’t expect to feel again. Psychedelic integration therapy helps you make sense of what happened, translate insights into real-life change, and build a grounded path forward.
I provide psychedelic integration therapy in New York State (telehealth) for adults who want thoughtful, trauma-informed support—before or after an experience—so that growth is sustainable, safe, and aligned with your values.
What Is Psychedelic Integration?
Psychedelic integration is the process of understanding and applying what emerged during a psychedelic experience so it supports your mental health, relationships, and daily life. Integration therapy gives you a structured space to explore:
The emotions, memories, or body sensations that surfaced
New insights about patterns, identity, purpose, or relationships
Shifts in anxiety, mood, or self-perception
How to stay grounded when things feel intense or unclear
How to turn “breakthrough moments” into consistent behavior change
Integration is not about chasing peak experiences. It’s about building stability, clarity, and meaning; so what you experienced can become a resource, not a source of ongoing stress.
Who Is Integration Therapy For?
Psychedelic integration therapy may be a good fit if you:
Completed ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) or ketamine treatment and want ongoing support
Had a psychedelic experience that felt emotionally intense, disorienting, or destabilizing
Are feeling more sensitive, anxious, or raw afterward and want help re-grounding
Want to process difficult material that surfaced (grief, trauma, relationship pain, fear, existential questions)
Are navigating a major life transition and seeking deeper self-understanding and direction
Want to use the experience to improve relationships, confidence, self-worth, and emotional regulation
Prefer a clinical, ethical, harm-reduction-oriented approach that respects your pace
You don’t need to have “a good trip” or “a bad trip” to benefit. Many people come in simply wanting help integrating a meaningful experience into a healthier, more connected life.
Ketamine & Psychedelic Harm Reduction
Integration therapy can include harm-reduction support, meaning we focus on safety, preparation, and emotional stability without judgment. This is especially helpful if you’re considering or already engaging with ketamine treatment or other psychedelic experiences.
In our work together, we can explore:
How to set realistic intentions (without putting pressure on outcomes)
Tools for nervous system regulation before and after sessions
Understanding common post-experience challenges: emotional waves, sleep changes, sensitivity, relationship shifts
Identifying what supports you (and what destabilizes you) during the integration window
How to recognize when additional support is needed
Creating a plan for grounding, boundaries, and accountability
Important note: Integration therapy is not the same as providing or directing psychedelic administration. My role is to support your mental health, meaning-making, and stabilization, so your process feels safe and contained.
Trauma-Informed Integration Using IFS & EMDR
Psychedelic experiences can bring up trauma-related material: memories, emotions, body sensations, protective patterns, or younger parts of you that have been holding pain for a long time. That’s why I approach integration through a trauma-informed lens, blending evidence-based therapy and deep respect for your nervous system.
Depending on your needs, integration sessions may include:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Identify and support “parts” of you that emerged (fear, shame, protector parts, younger wounds)
Build self-leadership, compassion, and internal trust
Reduce polarization (one part wants change, another feels terrified)
EMDR-Informed Processing (when appropriate)
Support nervous system reprocessing and resolution of distressing material
Strengthen emotional regulation and reduce triggers
Integrate new beliefs and experiences in a grounded way
This work is collaborative, paced, and tailored. We prioritize stabilization first, then meaning-making, and then real-life change. Your growth is sustainable.
