Psychedelic Integration Therapy in Vancouver
Psychedelic experiences can be profound, confusing, illuminating, or unsettling — sometimes all at once. Whether these experiences occurred through legal therapeutic contexts, ceremonial settings, or other circumstances, their impact often extends long after the experience itself has ended.
Psychedelic Integration Counselling provides a space to process and make sense of these experiences safely and ethically. At Head & Heart Counselling, we offer Psychedelic Integration Counselling in Vancouver focused on grounding, meaning-making, and integration — not the facilitation or provision of psychedelic substances.
Understanding Psychedelic Integration
Psychedelic experiences can open access to powerful emotions, memories, insights, or altered states of consciousness. Without integration, these experiences may feel fragmented, overwhelming, or difficult to apply meaningfully in daily life.
Integration is the process of reflecting on and incorporating insights into one’s psychological, relational, and embodied life. This often involves slowing down, grounding experience, and discerning what supports long-term wellbeing versus what may be destabilizing.
Integration work does not assume that all psychedelic experiences are positive or transformative — it makes room for complexity.
Who is Psychedelic Integration Counselling for?
Psychedelic Integration Counselling may be helpful if you:
Have had a psychedelic experience you want to process
Feel unsettled, confused, or destabilized after an experience

How Psychedelic Integration Counselling Works
Integration counselling is reflective, grounding, and client-led. Therapy focuses on helping experiences settle into the nervous system and psyche in a way that supports stability and growth.
At a high level, counselling often involves:
Creating safety and orientation
Exploring meaning without imposing interpretation
Supporting emotional and somatic integration
Connecting insights to values, relationships, and daily life
There is no expectation to pursue further psychedelic experiences.
