Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy

What is Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy?

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy is a revolutionary treatment that combines the therapeutic effects of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, or ketamine with psychotherapy. This approach has shown incredible promise in treating addiction, PTSD, depression, and anxiety by helping individuals achieve profound emotional breakthroughs.

How It Works

Under the supervision of trained clinicians, participants undergo controlled psychedelic sessions that promote self-awareness, emotional healing, and deep insight into the patterns driving their behaviors.

Why It’s Effective

Studies from institutions like Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, and MAPS demonstrate that psychedelics can "reset" neural connections in the brain, reducing cravings, addressing trauma, and fostering long-term recovery.

Why Choose Psychedelic Therapy?

Trauma Healing: Psychedelics enable individuals to process buried trauma effectively.

Rapid Transformation: Even a few sessions can lead to lasting changes.

Evidence-Based: Grounded in decades of scientific research and clinical trials.

How It Benefits Society

Psychedelic therapy reduces the societal costs of addiction and mental health challenges, fostering a healthier, more resilient population.

Find a Provider

Rise Above The Risk encourages individuals to seek out clinicians licensed to offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in the local area or research trials for MDMA and psilocybin depending on their circumstances. And, while we cannot condone any illegal activities, we can provide individuals with resources such as psychedelic integration coaches that will help them navigate the psychedelic experience and incorporate what they learn during their journey into their day to day life; this is what we consider "recovering." If you come to find that this method of recovery is something that works for you, then we also encourage you to check out our page on the group Psychedelics In Recovery where you will learn about an alternative to AA based on Bill Wilson’s (co-founder of AA) vision for AA he had after having tried psychedelics with great success himself in his program of recovery.
