The number of studies using psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has increased.
Holistic Healing for Sensitives (HSPs), Empaths, and Star Seeds through Spiritual Therapy, Energy Work, and Evidence Based Practices
Life is stressful. We may struggle to cope with unexpected changes such as a loved ones passing, a recent break-up, or a layoff.
The benefits of using science and spirituality in counseling can be profound, as they bring together two powerful approaches that complement each other in helping individuals achieve balance and growth.
Both psychology modalities and mindfulness share a focus on self-awareness and understanding. They encourage individuals to examine their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, enabling them to gain insights into their inner world. Both approaches also emphasize the importance of living in the present moment. Psychology modalities stemming from Gestalt approaches and somatic body work promote awareness of thought patterns and their impact on emotions and behaviors. Similarly, mindfulness practices, such as meditation or breathing exercises, cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance.
These techniques promote personal growth and transformation by considering the body, mind, and spirit as a whole instead of separate entities.
We combine science, evidence based research, counseling techniques, and energy work to assist you with your healing journey. Treatment is evaluated with a grounded, sensible approach using a blend of the scientific and spiritual.

Psychedelic integration: An analysis of the concept and its practice
The concept of integration has garnered increased attention in the past few years, despite a long history of only brief mention. Integration services are offered by therapists, coaches, and other practitioners, or may be self-guided. There are many definitions of psychedelic integration, and the term encompasses a range of practices and techniques. This seems to have led to confusion about what integration is and how it is best practiced. The primary focus of this manuscript is the presentation of the first extensive review and concept analysis of definitions, practices, and models of psychedelic integration. We provide a synthesized definition of integration, synthesized model of integration, and comprehensive summary of integration practices to bring clarity to the subject.
