No. Physis offer Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration. Please note that the use of psychedelic substances is currently illegal in Europe and the United States. Please do not contact us with requests for illegal psychedelic assisted work. We offer psychotherapy, preparation and integration support only for harm reduction purposes. We do not support nor encourage the use of illicit substances in unregulated and illegal frameworks, nor can we recommend centers or people who do.

Psychedelic harm reduction and integration (PHRI) is a therapeutic approach designed to offer psycho-educational information and to address different types of psychedelic use. PHRI combines harm reduction strategies related to substance use in general, with a specific focus on the significance of "integration" work for psychedelic use.

PHRI does not involve the administration of any psychedelic drugs. Instead, it involves the guidance and support that I will provide if you have had or plan to have psychedelic experiences on your own, outside of therapy. As a PHRI therapist, I do not refer clients to illicit therapists, engage in the procurement of psychedelic substances, or conduct therapy while individuals are under the influence of psychedelics.

If you are exploring the use of psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA or other substances, you may seek the assistance of an integration specialist to help you prepare for your experiences and reduce risks while increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes. PHRI sessions are centred around your readiness and goals; assuming that you had already had a psychedelic experience and seek support in integrating and understanding that experience. You may have specific goals related to incorporating the insights and changes into your daily life in which Integration sessions can provide specialised support for the unique challenges and insights of your psychedelic experiences.

Integration sessions involve practitioners who are knowledgeable about psychedelic experiences and have specific training in psychedelic integration. They are familiar with the unique challenges, insights, and transformative potential that can arise from these experiences.

Integration sessions and weekly psychotherapy serve different purposes, although they can complement each other in supporting an individual's therapeutic journey. Integration sessions specifically focus on integrating and making sense of psychedelic experiences. They typically centre around exploring the insights, emotions, and changes that arise during or after a psychedelic experience. The focus is often in understanding and integrating the lessons learned into daily life. In contrast, weekly psychotherapy has a broader scope and may address a range of concerns, including daily life stressors, relationships, past traumas, and other mental health issues.

Integration sessions are often scheduled in the immediate aftermath of a psychedelic experience or shortly thereafter. They are designed to provide support and guidance during the integration process when the experience is still fresh in the client's mind. Weekly psychotherapy sessions, as the name suggests, occur regularly, and are designed to provide ongoing support and exploration over an extended period focusing on a broader range of goals and concerns.

Integration sessions and weekly psychotherapy can complement each other; the choice between the two or their combination depends on the individual's needs, goals, and therapeutic journey.
