One on one therapy appointments offer a private healing space to take steps towards your individualized goals. In therapy, we create your goals for treatment together and discuss how to bring various techniques and therapeutic modalities into the sessions for your greatest benefit. Sessions can include somatic work, EMDR, CBT, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and anything else that aims to promote your growth and self-exploration.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy approach that helps individuals process through traumatic memories, negative belief systems, and emotional distress or numbness associated with past experiences.
EMDR is often referred to as “Grade A Trauma Treatment,” as research has shown it can assist individuals through emotional processing in fewer required sessions than individual talk therapy alone.

Integration therapy sessions addresses attending to the information, insights, and lingering confusion that often accompany a psychedelic experience. The goal of integration is to make things clearer and less difficult to manage from an experience and to develop plans for stepping into the authentic version of yourself that the medicine is asking you to receive and integrate into your life moving forward.
Integration after a psychedelic journey is crucial for lasting and effective change. To reinforce lifestyle changes and improve mood in the long-term, it is highly recommended and researched to seek psychotherapy following a spiritual or psychedelic experience, as a lot of information can make itself known to you in a very short amount of time. This process can be very overwhelming for individuals who do not seek effective treatment following these events. Integration therapy sessions are available to decrease feelings of overwhelm and provides a safe place to land and expand, as we explore areas of additional healing and embracing the path towards self-discovery and growth.
Integration work can be useful for processing materials from recreational use and/or in the medical model experiences that have become operational with board approval in Colorado and Oregon in recent years. Such treatments may include but are not limited to receiving ketamine infusions at a clinic, or experiencing psilocybin, MDMA, ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, ayahuasca, or any other psychedelic medicine in a retreat space or one-on-one with a licensed practitioner or well-trained guide.

Psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, are type of fungi medicine that offers a psychedelic experience with many therapeutic benefits. Many individuals report significant improvement and long-lasting reduced symptoms from only one psilocybin experience when paired with proper integration afterwards.
Psilocybin use in therapy has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of depression in as little as 8 days for some clients. Additionally, the effects of psilocybin have been shown to last for years after treatment, without the need for ongoing therapy or additional administrations. Read more on the amazing research done with psilocybin on mental health and addictions throughout the years here.
Individuals who can benefit from psilocybin treatment include anyone feeling stuck or immobilized in life, experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, struggling with addiction, and anyone wanting to take steps to becoming their most authentic self.
Ease Your Mind Counseling offers Psilocybin in either Individual Experiences or as Group Packages with the option to attend retreats. Retreats in group settings provide the additional support of community members, which offers a wonderful healing container to return to as we hold space together in this work. All psilocybin experiences include preparation sessions before and integration sessions after the treatment session with the medicine. Additional information on these packages can be found below.

EMDR Intensives are a wonderful opportunity to add a retreat style experience to your therapeutic journey. Intensives involve longer processing sessions to assist individuals through more emotional releases and reproccessing of information in a significantly shorter time frame that general therapy done weekly.
If you fit that category of wanting to work through years of therapy in a matter of months, EMDR Intensives may be right for you!
EMDR Intensives are personalized for every individual based on the consideration of your unique needs and various life factors.
Please reach out today if you are ready to learn more about getting started with intensives!
Benefits of Self-Pay for Therapy Services
Benefits of Self-Pay
The most important factor in determining successful therapy outcomes in the relationship you have with your therapist. Finding a specialized therapist tailored to your specific needs becomes significantly easier when you no longer have to go through insurance providers.
There are many benefits for paying out of pocket for therapeutic services. Insurance companies can oftentimes be difficult to work with, resulting in a delay of services getting started, some pose limitations on the number and length of sessions allowed, require a medical or mental health diagnosis to continue, and result in an unnecessary amount of stress.
When you pay out of pocket for therapy, you avoid a mountain of headaches. Your time becomes your own again, and there are very few hoops to jump through to get the help you need.
Benefits include:
Aligning your session length with your unique needs and desired goals within your timeline
Treatment decisions become entirely up to you and your therapist
Complete privacy and confidentiality
No diagnoses required!
This means you can receive therapy for wellness, not just illness! Examples being wanting to improve your relationships, communication skills, self-care, sexual wellness, and more. Things insurance can deem “not medically necessary.”
Therefore, no diagnoses go on your permanent medical records.
Individual Therapy & Integration
Similar to EMDR, talk therapy sessions and integration processing from previous psychedelic experiences can be adjusted in length depending on your unique needs and goals, if appropriate. Please always discuss with your provider your interest in longer sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) sessions are available in various lengths and can be tailored to each individual person, based on your unique way of processing.
These lengths can vary from a standard 50-minute session, with 75-minute, 90-minute, and 120-minute sessions available upon request.
Self-Pay Rates
50-minute sessions: $225
75-minute sessions: $335
90-minute sessions: $400
