services
At The Path to Conscious Healing, we offer psychedelic integration therapy and individual psychotherapy services to adults 18+ (see further details below).
Both in-person and virtual services are available. In-person sessions are held at a convenient office location in Kirkwood, MO. Virtual services are an option for most individuals in the majority of U.S. States (39+). Click here to view the list of participating states: https://psypact.site-ym.com/page/psypactmap
A 15-minute phone consultation is required prior to beginning services. Services begin with a 90-minute intake appointment consisting of policy and practices review, clinical interview, and treatment goal-setting. Subsequent therapy sessions are 50 minutes in duration. Weekly appointments are strongly encouraged, particularly early on to accelerate rapport-building and progress towards goals. Number of sessions will vary based on type of therapy service and individual needs, desires, and goals.
NOTE: Therapy services are offered on an outpatient basis by appointment only and therefore are not an appropriate intervention for those in crisis situations (e.g., active suicidal/homicidal thoughts, current psychotic/manic symptoms). In these cases, a higher level of care is likely warranted, such as intensive outpatient services or inpatient hospitalization.
individual psychotherapy
Therapy services are individualized and integrative, meaning various treatment modalities and interventions are utilized based on your unique needs, goals, and wishes. Services are trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, and conducted through a values-based lens, with focus on fostering non-judgmental openness, safety, trust, connection, awareness, compassion, acceptance, and action.
Commonly-utilized therapeutic approaches include:
- client-directed, humanistic orientation
- process-oriented
- mindfulness-based practices (ex. breathing, relaxation)
- cognitive-behavioral techniques
- trauma-based interventions
- experiential-based exercises
