ARE YOU GOING TO OFFER PSILOCYBIN ASSISTED THERAPY? 

Yes. We're making preparations to offer psilocybin assisted therapy in Spring of 2023, including staff training and following State of Oregon guidelines for opening a service center. Our team is shaping up nicely. We appreciate all the inquiries. We're excited, too. We'll start accepting referrals when we get closer to a confirmed opening date.

WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK AND HOW IS IT HELPFUL? 

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE: THE VALUE OF PREPARATION. 

We offer neurofeedback as part of our Eugene Neurofeedback practice. This is another healing modality, like psilocybin, ketamine, and other psychedelics, that strengthen neuropathways to support personal growth, resiliency building, and management of chronic symptoms such as anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, pain, cognitive concerns, mood management, insomnia, and assists with integrating challenging life events related to chronic stress and trauma. We have a waitlist for counseling with neurofeedback. We accept insurance funding and private pay.  
​

HOW DOES NEUROFEEDBACK SUPPORT US IN DEEPER HEALING WORK, INCLUDING A PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE?

Neurofeedback training helps calm fears and enhances emotional regulation, making it a great tool for healing, preparing us emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically for a deeper transformational or personal growth experience. Whether taking a pilgrimage of the heart to Peru for an ayahuasca retreat, engaging in intensive EMDR work with a therapist, or preparing for a professionally guided psychedelic experience, neurofeedback is a helpful ally in the personal growth process. Supporting the healing shifts experienced, by calming the brain and nervous system, makes neurofeedback a powerful tool of integration. In addition to our Infra-low neurofeedback frequency settings, we offer two other specialized neurofeedback programs, Synchrony and Alpha-Theta training. Similar to the action of psychedelics, these specialized brain training programs calm the Default Mode Network, helping us to think outside the box, so we can gain healing perspective, while facing with courage, self-compassion, and neutrality the self-limiting thinking and behaviors that have been holding us back from thriving. Needless to say, we are big fans of neurofeedback! Those who receive  psychedelic healing services with us move up on our waitlist.

PSYCHEDELIC SERVICES ARE OFFERED? 

Individualized Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Sessions.
​Harm-Reduction Approach.

EPIC coordinates with medical prescribers for ketamine services, then provides Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy Support during sessions. 

---

WHAT TYPE OF KETAMINE SERVICES ARE OFFERED?

Our staff will at least offer three routes of ketamine: nasal, Intramuscular Injections (IM), and oral. We hope to also offer short-term IV ketamine in the future, depending on how our EPIC Healing Eugene's ketamine provider network grows. 

---

IS THERE ANY INSURANCE FUNDING FOR KETAMINE SERVICES?

For those who have treatment resistant depression and have failed two antidepressants in the past year, we can explore whether you'd be a candidate for nasal ketamine (Spravato/esketamine), which has a prior authorization process with most insurance companies. If this is not a criteria that fits for you, our other forms of private pay ketamine services may be a better fit (IM and oral). In Spring 2023, there may be some psychedelic healing scholarship/ sliding scale programs for ketamine and psilocybin that low-income clients can apply for. We're currently exploring options.

Psychedelics, Ketamine, and Integration Services

WHAT IS INTEGRATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Integration is a key component in educating and empowering clients, helping them bring back what they've experienced during their psychedelic and healing experience into their daily life. ​

---

An Integrative Counselor has specialized training in working with psychedelics and helping clients make sense of their experiences, as well as offering a variety of professional clinical modalities to assist clients harvest the most out of their altered state experiences, in which there is greater access to subconscious thoughts, memories, and spiritual healing.​

---

​In the case of the Amazonian plant medicine, Ayahuasca, the integration process can take a year or longer following a ceremony. Integration is an ongoing process. 

---

The action of psychedelic's neurogenesis process last longer than the actual experience. This can vary. In the case of ketamine it can continue for days (generally 24-72 hours at the peak of the window of neuroplasticity, up to six days). Pairing ketamine and integration therapy, for example, makes for a more enduring healing experience and prolongs the benefits of the ketamine sessions.

---

Sessions focus on creating an increased sense of comfort as you go into your session, intention setting, relaxation, healing modalities, and other helpful hints for navigating your upcoming altered state experience. Integration-counseling sessions are ideally scheduled a day to three days following the session, or the following week. There are never too many integration sessions.
​

---

WHAT IS THE PRIVATE PAY RATE FOR EXTRA INDIVIDUAL PREPARATION & INTEGRATION COUNSELING SESSIONS? 

We offer extra preparation and integration counseling sessions at $150 - $185 rate.
     -Services available in person or via Zoom. 
     -Insurance coverage possible for counseling, depending on insurance plan and situation. 
​

WHAT IF I HAVE INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE, WHAT'S COVERED? 

Depending on your insurance type, and if there is a qualifying diagnosis, insurance may cover the preparation and integration counseling sessions (before a ketamine or psychedelic experience, and on a different day following your experience). Otherwise, these are private pay. These specialized counseling sessions with Cathy Rosewell Jonas, LCSW, or one of our psychedelic integrative counselors typically take about an hour. A variety of clinical modalities are provided including internal family systems, EMDR (bilateral resource tapping), mindfulness, self-hypnosis and anchoring strategies, mindfulness and spiritual coaching, and guided healing meditations and shamanic journeys to help client's best prepare for a transformational healing experience, and then later access the powerful and inspiring feelings and emotions that were pivotal during psychedelic experience.
