Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
Virtual and In-Person Support in Colorado
Helping you maximize the healing benefits of your experiences with psychedelics, plant medicines, and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
At Rosebud Healing, we believe that the wisdom we need for healing and personal growth resides within. Psychedelic Assisted Therapy offers profound and transformative healing experiences paired with conscious preparation and integration to support you in accessing deeper layers of consciousness, process trauma, restore a sense of wholeness, and create positive, meaningful, and lasting change.
Understanding Psychedelic Therapy
Psychedelic compounds interact directly with serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, temporarily disrupting the nervous system’s default mode network and promoting neuromodulation—the brain’s ability to rewire itself. Research shows that psychedelic medicine can effectively treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and addiction. Effects of psychedelic medicines include enhanced self-awareness, emotional processing, and new behavioral patterns.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy facilitates a controlled and therapeutic environment to help individuals explore their thoughts, emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. The process includes a psychological assessment to evaluate appropriateness and readiness, education about dosing and expectations, conscious preparation and intention-setting, harm-reduction practices, as well as post-journey integration.
Our Holistic Approach
By combining psychedelic-assisted therapy with holistic healing modalities, we offer a creative, integrative, and collaborative approach to support our clients. Our method facilitates profound psychological and emotional breakthroughs, helping individuals access deeper layers of consciousness, process trauma, and reconnect with their innate wisdom.
Key Components of Our Approach
Trauma-Informed Care: We create a safe, supportive environment, recognizing the unique experiences and needs of each individual.

Spiritually Focused: Exploring a deeper sense of purpose and self-realization within clinical model of mental health treatment.
Psychedelic Therapy Services We Offer
-
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) has shown remarkable efficacy for supporting people with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma by rapidly enhancing neuroplasticity and disrupting maladaptive thought patterns. Research suggests that ketamine’s ability to modulate neural receptors and restore synaptic connections contributes to profound, lasting relief, especially when combined with integrative psychotherapy.
KAP is often considered an accessible entry point for individuals new to psychedelic medicines due to its short duration, well-documented safety profile, and ability to induce a dissociative yet controlled experience make it a gentle introduction to non-ordinary states of consciousness when facilitated in a therapeutic setting.
-
Psilocybin Assisted Healing
Psilocybin has demonstrated profound potential in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma by fostering neuroplasticity and inducing deeply introspective, emotionally transformative experiences. With Colorado’s new legal framework allowing supervised psilocybin sessions under the Natural Medicine Health Act, more individuals now have access to psychedelic mushrooms that can promote lasting psychological relief by quieting the default mode network (DMN) and enhancing cognitive flexibility.
Psilocybin-assisted healing can be seen as the next step for those who have experienced ketamine therapy or are ready for a deeper, more immersive journey. Unlike ketamine’s dissociative effects, psilocybin fosters a more expansive, emotionally engaged state that can facilitate profound insights, emotional release, and a heightened sense of interconnectedness—making skilled preparation and integration even more essential.
-
Psychedelic Counseling & Integration
Preparation and integration counseling sessions are essential for cultivating a safe, meaningful, and therapeutic experience, helping individuals set intentions, navigate challenges, and integrate insights into daily life. By providing emotional support, psychoeducation, and grounding practices, these sessions enhance the lasting benefits of psychedelic experiences, fostering deep healing and long-term transformation.
Whether you are preparing for personal use of psychedelic medicine or you would like to process a past psychedelic experience, counseling can support you to clarify your goals, navigate challenges with greater ease, deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and harness the full therapeutic potential of your journey.
Legal & Ethical Considerations
In November 2022, Colorado residents voted to pass Proposition 122, decriminalizing the personal use of psilocybin mushrooms. This change allows individuals aged 21 and over to possess, ingest, share, or gift psilocybin mushrooms legally. This also means that Rosebud Healing is now legally permitted to provide counseling, therapeutic preparation, and integration support for individuals engaging in personal psilocybin use. However, we do not provide, sell, or administer psilocybin-containing mushrooms, nor do we explicitly recommend their use.
What The Process Can Look Like
We offer a holistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy, integrating evidence-based methods to enhance the therapeutic process:
Psychological Assessment: We begin with a clinical assessment to evaluate if this method of treatment is appropriate and a client’s level of readiness for psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Harm-Reduction & Education: We provide resources about dosing, contraindications, and education for clients to make safe and informed decisions about psychedelic medicines.
Preparation & Intention-Setting: We help clients clarify their goals, build resources for nervous system safety, and clarify personal intentions for their psychedelic journey to maximize therapeutic benefits.
Psychedelic-Assisted Sessions: In legal and appropriate settings, we provide therapeutic support during psychedelic experiences to create a safe, structured, and healing environment.
Post-Journey Integration: We utilize somatic therapy, expressive arts, dreamwork, and mindfulness-based therapies to help clients integrate insights from psychedelic experiences into daily life.
Trauma-Sensitive Support: Personal use of psychedelics and assisted therapy can surface deep-seated trauma. We provide compassionate, regulated, and grounded support to navigate difficult experiences safely.
Community & Holistic Healing: We provide a relational, interpersonal, and social rhythms framework to foster continued healing and growth through peer connection, group processing, and community-based support for long-term transformation.
By stimulating neuroplasticity, psychedelic medicines help individuals unlearn conditioned fear responses, reframe negative self-perceptions, and cultivate deeper emotional resilience. This capacity to reset the nervous system allows for profound shifts in consciousness, supporting long-term wellbeing and improved mental health outcomes.
Whether you are exploring psychedelic-assisted healing for mental health, spiritual growth, or personal expansion, we offer grounded support and compassionate guidance to help you integrate insights into your daily life.
