Psilocybin integration therapy in Colorado Springs
Integration therapy is help making sense of a psilocybin experience after it happens, and turning what came up into changes that hold in your actual life.
I'm Sarah Post Massey, a licensed marriage and family therapist with an active Colorado license as a Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training, license NMIT.0000680. I offer integration sessions in Colorado Springs for people who had their experience somewhere else. That includes people who went through the state program and people who didn't.
What integration sessions look like
We start with what actually happened. You tell me about the experience in as much or as little detail as you want, and we look at what has stayed with you since.
Then we work on the part most people skip. An insight on the day is easy to lose by the following Tuesday. We turn it into specific changes, with homework between sessions, and we check whether those changes are sticking.
If you want numbers, you can take the same baseline assessments I use in the rest of my practice. That usually means the PHQ-9 for depression or the GAD-7 for anxiety, repeated along the way.

Send me a note and I’ll reach out to set up a time to talk.
This form does not start a therapy relationship. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
When an experience was hard
Not every session goes the way people hope. Some leave you unsettled, with memories or feelings you weren't expecting. That is one of the most common reasons people look for integration support, and it is work I take seriously.
If you're in acute distress right now, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time.
Who is integration therapy for?
Integration sessions tend to fit if:
You had a psilocybin experience and want help understanding what came up
Something shifted and you want it to last past the first few weeks
The experience was difficult and you're still carrying it
You're considering a facilitated session and want to talk it through with a therapist first
Questions about integration
-
No. Integration sessions are for anyone who had a psilocybin experience elsewhere. If you want the full program with me, including preparation and an administration session at a licensed healing center, see psilocybin-assisted therapy.
-
No. Integration sessions are therapy sessions in my Colorado Springs office or by telehealth anywhere in Colorado. In my full program, the administration session happens at a state-licensed healing center.
-
Integration sessions are $150 for 50 minutes, private pay. They aren't covered by insurance, and you'll receive a Good Faith Estimate before your first session.
-
I won't promise that. Psilocybin isn't FDA approved for any condition, and Colorado's Natural Medicine program is supported use, not medical treatment. What I can do is help you work with what came up and measure whether anything is changing.
