Is Psychedelic Therapy Right for You?
At Thrive Downtown, we offer education and support for integrating journeys involving psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA, LSD, and DMT. Our therapists bring clinical experience and lived wisdom to help you navigate every phase of the process.
Psychedelic Trip Support & Integration Therapy for Challenging Experiences
Some people come to us before a psychedelic ceremony or guided session, seeking support in preparing for a meaningful and safe experience. They want clarity around intention, emotional readiness, and how to stay grounded during the journey. Many have already decided to explore a substance and are looking for therapeutic presence to ensure they’re supported throughout. Others reach out after a trip—feeling overwhelmed, euphoric, cracked open, confused, or changed in ways they don’t yet understand. Whether your psychedelic experience brought deep healing, disorientation, or both, we’re here to help you integrate it and move forward.

Safe, Ethical Psychedelic Therapy Support Across Canada
We support clients engaging with psychedelics through many pathways: clinical, spiritual, underground, Indigenous, and personal growth. We recognize that many Canadians are choosing to work with these medicines. Our role is to provide therapeutic support—before, during, and after psychedelic experiences—in a harm-reduction and trauma-informed frame. For some, this includes therapeutic presence and accompaniment during a journey already planned.
