Therapeutic Psilocybin Services
Patrick Clancy
Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator - Ashland, Oregon
Psilocybin mushrooms have had such a positive impact on my life, that I’m honored to support others as they explore their own healing journey.
With three decades of psychedelic experience, I pride myself on providing a safe and welcoming environment for my clients to settle into their experience, feeling confident and supported. My trauma-informed approach to facilitation offers an abundance of care, reassurance, and connection, while providing enough personal space for a healing journey free from distractions or interruptions.
I offer preparation and integration techniques that empower my clients with the freedom to tap into their own unique process of transformation, healing, and growth.
My goal is to support anyone in need of psilocybin services. I encourage members of historically, persistently, or systemically marginalized (HPSM) communities to inquire about my sliding scale fee.
Why Psilocybin Services?
It can help with
Healing PTSD
Psilocybin appears to increase neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections. This effect may allow individuals to break free from the rigid thought patterns and fear responses often associated with PTSD.
Treatment for Depression
A pilot study of U.S. military veterans with severe treatment-resistant depression (TRD) found that a single dose of psilocybin, with psychological support, significantly reduced depression scores.
Addressing Addiction
Psilocybin has demonstrated potential in treating addiction, including alcohol and tobacco dependence. Research suggests it can reduce cravings and facilitate long-term abstinence.
End-of-Life Psychological Distress
Individuals who had psychedelic experiences reported a decrease in their fear of death, with the experiences rated among the most meaningful and spiritually significant of their lives. Some have described mystical or spiritual awakenings during their psilocybin journeys.
Healing Trauma
Some individuals reported being able to confront and process deeply seated traumas, including childhood trauma, which led to a sense of release and freedom from their negative impact.
Treating Anxiety
Studies suggest that psilocybin can temporarily disrupt communication within the Default Mode Network, this may reduce self-focused thinking and lead to increased openness and sense of connection to the world, potentially lessening anxious thoughts and patterns.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Psilocybin Facilitation?
Psilocybin facilitation involves creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore the vast potential of psilocybin mushrooms. It promotes healing, personal growth, spiritual connection, expanded consciousness, and unique transformational experiences in a supportive and legal setting. Psilocybin facilitation emphasizes safety, preparation, and integration to maximize the potential benefits of the mushrooms experience and mitigate any potential risks.
Why Should I Choose You?
With over 30 years of experience working with psilocybin mushrooms, I have safely and successfully navigated the trials and tribulations associated with the psychedelic experience. I have spent countless hours supporting other people during psychedelic journeys and I have successfully used psilocybin mushrooms as an aid in managing my autoimmune disease for over a decade. I offer preparation techniques that empower my clients with the tools needed to navigate their mushroom journey feeling educated, confident, and safe. I provide a grounded, supportive, and calming presence during each facilitation and post-journey integration sessions that encourage my clients to tap into their own unique process of transformation, healing, and growth. As legalization continues, there will be more and more under-qualified facilitators with minimal experience popping up. I would suggest hiring a facilitator who has decades of experience consuming mushrooms and facilitating psilocybin journeys, instead of the alternative.
Is Psilocybin Safe?
Psilocybin is generally considered safe when administered in a supportive environment, under the guidance of trained professionals. However, psilocybin use is not considered safe for everyone. Contraindications include: • Personal or family history of psychosis • Taking Lithium, which can lead to seizures or fatal interactions. • Individuals with thoughts of causing harm to themselves or others. Although they aren't considered contraindications, it's worth noting that some interactions have been observed between MAOIs / SSRIs that could potentially diminish psilocybin's effectiveness and possibly increase the risk of Serotonin Syndrome. Serotonin syndrome (SS) is caused by excessive serotonergic activity in the central and peripheral nervous system. The symptoms can range from mild to severe.
Who Can Participate?
I welcome clients from all over the world. Participants must be 21 years or older, without any contraindications.
Is This Legal?
Yes. In Oregon, psilocybin mushrooms are legal for supervised therapeutic use at licensed service centers for people aged 21 and older. In 2020, voters approved Ballot Measure 109. This created a state-regulated program overseen by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).
