Frequently asked questions
Psychedelics such as MDMA and psilocybin can help you access deeper layers of the mind, including subconscious memories and emotions. In a safe, guided setting, they can reduce fear responses and open space for new perspectives, allowing you to process and heal in ways that talk therapy alone may not reach. This combination of expanded awareness and therapeutic support often leads to profound insights and lasting emotional relief.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is primarily used in mental health treatment to help individuals with conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, substance use disorders, and existential distress related to life-threatening illnesses. It involves the controlled administration of psychedelic substances like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), MDMA, LSD, and ketamine in a therapeutic setting combined with psychological support.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines talk therapy with the careful supervised use of certain substances to support emotional healing and personal growth. This may include legal options like ketamine, and in some cases, naturally occurring plant-based medicines. These guided sessions are designed to help individuals access deeper insights, release emotional blocks, and process trauma in a safe, structured environment. At Ana Psychedelic Therapy, we also offer integration support to help you make sense of the experience and apply it to your life in meaningful ways.

MDMA and psilocybin offer different therapeutic benefits depending on your goals and needs. MDMA is often used to support individuals processing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or trauma that’s difficult to express verbally. Its heart-opening and empathy-enhancing qualities also make it valuable in couples therapy, where emotional connection is essential.
Psilocybin, found in certain types of mushrooms, is well-suited for those exploring emotional blocks, limiting thought patterns, unresolved trauma, or spiritual disconnection. It can help foster deeper self-awareness, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Many clients choose psilocybin therapy to reconnect with themselves and gain insights into their life path.
