Psychedelic Somatic Institute

The Psychedelic Somatic Institute, located on East 17th Avenue in Denver, Colorado, offers a unique and transformative approach to therapy known as Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP). This highly experiential and deeply relational model of therapy is specifically designed to work in conjunction with psychedelic substances like ketamine and cannabis to access the unconscious mind and body's natural healing mechanisms.

Unlike traditional talk therapy models, PSIP emphasizes the therapist's active participation in the client's medicinal consciousness, creating a more profound and relational healing experience. Through visceral access to childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and the body's self-correcting intelligence, PSIP aims to facilitate deep healing on a psychobiological level.

The institute offers a comprehensive training program for therapists looking to incorporate PSIP into their practice. This apprenticeship-style model focuses on experiential learning, with small student cohorts engaging in their own therapy sessions, observing live sessions, and participating in integration work. By immersing themselves in the therapeutic process, students develop a deep understanding and mastery of the PSIP approach.

For those interested in learning more about PSIP, the institute provides free resources such as a comprehensive theory paper published in the Journal of Psychedelic Psychiatry and training excerpts discussing the body's role in medicine-assisted therapy. Whether you are a therapist looking to expand your practice or an individual seeking healing, the Psychedelic Somatic Institute offers a unique and transformative approach to therapy.
