We can bill regional BCBS, Anthem BCBS of Colorado, St. Luke’s Health Plans, and SelectHealth plans directly for preparation and integration sessions. For other insurance providers we can offer a super bill for possible reimbursement. Administration sessions are not covered by any insurance providers at this time.

For preparation, individual administration and integration sessions, the total cost generally ranges from $1900–$3100, depending on number of integration sessions, sliding scale and insurance coverage.

We recommend the Healing Journey Program which includes one consultation and screening session, two preparation sessions, one administration session, and two integration sessions for $2900. Payment plans are available upon request.

Additionally, group administration sessions are offered in groups of 2 to 4 participants, with the total cost ranging from $930-2180. This cost depends on insurance coverage, number of participants in the group, and number of preparation and integration sessions needed.

Some individuals may experience nausea after ingesting psilocybin, however, having honey and/or chocolate helps the gut digest the medicine, minimizing negative side effects. Psilocybin can increase your heart rate after ingestion, but not to a dangerous level.

The day after administration individuals often feel more tired and are more emotionally sensitive to their environments. It is important to plan for taking care of yourself the day after administration.

During Administration, Psilocybin binds to the 5-HT2A receptor, a subtype of serotonin receptor. The 5-HT2A receptor is densely located in regions such as the prefrontal cortex, which plays a key role in decision-making and higher cognitive functions. By modulating this receptor, psychedelics can increase neuroplasticity, enhancing the brain’s ability to form new neural connections and potentially promoting emotional processing and therapeutic breakthroughs.

The Default Mode Network is a network of brain regions that are active when the mind is at rest, often linked to self-referential thoughts, the “ego,” and rumination. In psychedelic states, the DMN activity decreases, leading to reduced ego boundaries and a sense of interconnectedness. This dissociation from the self can facilitate psychological insights and help reduce rigid thinking patterns associated with conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD. The decreased DMN activity is thought to be a key mechanism by which psychedelics can induce ego dissolution and promote transformative experiences.

During a psychedelic experience, there is a reorganization of brain networks, with increased connectivity between brain regions that don’t typically communicate with each other. This phenomenon is thought to be enabled by the 5-HT2A receptor activation and is associated with a more flexible, integrated brain state. Regions such as the prefrontal cortex (responsible for executive function) and the posterior cingulate cortex (linked to the DMN) show increased connectivity, allowing for a more holistic and unified experience of consciousness. This altered connectivity might help individuals gain new perspectives, challenge maladaptive cognitive patterns, and support the therapeutic process by fostering a sense of mental clarity and emotional release.

Overall, psychedelic therapy may lead to enhanced emotional processing, reduced psychological distress, and the restructuring of maladaptive neural pathways, which can contribute to long-lasting therapeutic benefits.

During preparation sessions we will discuss all safety protocols and you will receive copies of all forms that you sign regarding policies and protocols. This will include the use of supportive touch, such as a hand on the shoulder or holding of a hand. During preparation we will discuss your comfort level with supportive touch and what feels safe for you. We will plan for non-verbal cues to use as needed if supportive touch is wanted.

The office will be locked during administration, to ensure privacy and safety throughout your session. You will have access to a bathroom within the office building to use as needed throughout your session.

You will need to arrange a pick up after administration, as you will not be allowed to drive or leave the building on your own after administration.

While a single psilocybin session can lead to meaningful relief of symptoms, many people find that psychedelic experiences are most valuable as part of an ongoing process of inner exploration and healing.

Psilocybin itself is not a standalone cure for depression. Research indicates it is most effective when paired with consistent psychotherapy and supportive integration. The experience may open a window for new habits and perspectives to take root, but lasting change depends on the individual’s active engagement in their own healing journey.

At Innate Wisdom and Wellness, our therapists can only offer services in the states where they are licensed. For us, that means all therapeutic sessions need to take place here in Colorado or online from Idaho.

If you feel called to this form of healing, traveling to Colorado offers the chance to receive your screening, preparation, administration and integration in a safe and supportive setting. While we aren’t able to provide these services virtually across state lines at this time, we’re deeply committed to creating meaningful in-person experiences.

In the future, we plan to offer nature based, retreat-style opportunities designed for out-of-state guests. For now, we are honored to serve those who live in Colorado or are able to journey here to connect with us.

Yes, it is! We have met all state and city requirements to offer this breakthrough therapy legally in Colorado. We have obtained an Owner License, Facilitator License, Healing Center License and City Permit. With these four licenses/permits, we are able to offer legal, psilocybin assisted therapy in the city of Durango, Colorado.
