At Sage Integrative Health, we honor the deep, often transformative nature of psychedelic experiences. We understand that these states of consciousness, while potentially healing, can also be disorienting or emotionally complex. That’s why we offer psychedelic integration therapy: a supportive, therapeutic process that helps you make sense of what you experienced and bring those insights into your everyday life in a grounded and embodied way.


Our team of licensed therapists and integrative wellness providers offers trauma-informed, client-centered care for those exploring the integration of psychedelic experiences, whether recent or long past. With a blend of evidence-based psychotherapy, somatic work, and holistic care, we meet you where you are and help guide your ongoing journey.

What Is Psychedelic Integration Therapy?
What it is
Psychedelic integration therapy refers to the process of understanding, processing, and incorporating the insights, emotions, and realizations that arise from psychedelic experiences. Whether your journey involved substances like psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA, LSD, or others—or took place in ceremonial, clinical, or informal settings—integration offers a bridge between the altered state and your day-to-day life.

These experiences can reveal deep emotional truths, spiritual insights, or unresolved trauma. Without proper support, the return to baseline can feel confusing, even destabilizing. Integration therapy helps you:

  • Make meaning of your psychedelic experiences
  • Identify insights, emotions, or themes that emerged
  • Translate revelations into meaningful life changes
  • Work through challenging or unresolved material that surfaced
  • Reconnect with your body, values, and intentions
The Importance of Integration
Psychedelic substances (also known as entheogens) have long been used in Indigenous cultures for healing, visioning, and spiritual connection. Today, a growing body of research in the United States and around the world is exploring their clinical use for conditions like depression, substance use disorder, PTSD, and anxiety.

Yet, while psychedelic therapy sessions can be powerful, the true transformation often comes after the experience. This is the essence of integration: the act of weaving altered-state insights into the fabric of your life. Without this step, insights may fade, confusion may set in, and personal growth may stall.

Integration supports ongoing healing by:
  • Reducing emotional overwhelm or "spiritual bypassing"
  • Encouraging nervous system regulation and safety
  • Fostering accountability and intention-setting
  • Supporting long-term mental health outcomes
A Trauma-Informed & Holistic Approach
Our work is informed by the understanding that many clients come to psychedelic substances in search of relief from mental illness, substance abuse, or emotional pain. At Sage, we treat these concerns with deep compassion and without judgment.
Rather than pathologize your experience, we aim to hold it in context—recognizing the body, mind, and spirit as interconnected. We listen closely to what your journey is trying to tell you, and we help translate those messages into actionable change.

We work holistically to address:

  • Substance use disorder and the use of psychedelics in addiction recovery
  • Alcohol abuse and the emotional roots of craving
  • Trauma healing and nervous system regulation
  • Relationship patterns, boundary-setting, and self-worth

In addition to individual therapy, we offer family therapy when relevant, especially in cases where your psychedelic journey has brought up relational dynamics or intergenerational healing themes.
Each integration therapy session is unique and tailored to your individual experience and needs. We draw from a wide range of theories of psychotherapy, including depth psychology, somatic therapy, family systems theory, and mindfulness-based approaches.

A session may involve:

  • Exploring the concept of integration and how it applies to your psychedelic journey
  • Reflecting on the visuals, emotions, or messages received during your experience
  • Working with symbolic content or challenging moments that surfaced
  • Addressing emotional dysregulation, dissociation, or fear that may have emerged
  • Supporting your nervous system through grounding and somatic tools
  • Setting goals and intentions for behavioral, relational, or lifestyle changes
  • Is Psychedelic Integration Therapy Right for Me?
    You might benefit from psychedelic integration therapy if:

    • You've had a recent or past psychedelic experience that felt meaningful, confusing, or unresolved
    • You want help making sense of your journey
    • You're feeling emotionally activated, overwhelmed, or "stuck"
    • You want to create change in your relationships, work, or lifestyle based on your insights
    • You’re looking for a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and deepen your growth
    We work with clients who have participated in both clinical settings and traditional or ceremonial spaces. We also support those who are simply curious about how psychedelics relate to personal transformation, even if they have not yet had an experience.
