Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Denver

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms. When combined with structured therapeutic support, research from Johns Hopkins, NYU, and Imperial College London has shown it can produce rapid and lasting improvements in mood, emotional processing, and psychological flexibility — often after just one or two sessions.

Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act (Proposition 122) now allows licensed facilitators to provide psilocybin services to adults 21 and older in state-approved healing centers. These are not recreational experiences. Every session includes clinical preparation, professional facilitation, and therapeutic integration afterward.

At Front Range Treatment Center, natural medicine services are offered as part of a broader continuum of care — complementing our existing DBT and CBT programs for clients who may benefit from this approach.

Looking for Psychedelic Therapy Near You?

If you have been searching for psychedelic therapy near you in Colorado, what you are allowed to find is narrower than the search suggests. Psilocybin services here are not sold retail and cannot be delivered in a private office — the Natural Medicine Health Act routes every administration session through a state-licensed healing center with a licensed facilitator. Front Range Treatment Center works within that structure from Greenwood Village, in the south Denver metro.

The part worth comparing between providers is everything around the session. Psychedelic-assisted therapy near you is often offered as a standalone experience, booked once and finished. Here, preparation and integration are conducted by a practice that also delivers DBT and CBT, so the material the session surfaces has somewhere to go afterward. Integration is what determines whether a session becomes lasting change or fades, and it is the piece most commonly left thin.

Works With Your Existing Therapy

Psilocybin services are designed to complement — not replace — your current therapeutic work. Insights from the experience often surface material that deepens self-awareness, emotional processing, and motivation for change. Your FRTC therapist can help prepare for and integrate the experience as part of a seamless continuum of care.

Insurance: No insurance plan covers natural medicine services — Medicaid included — so they are paid out of pocket. Full payment is due prior to the administration session.

Superbills: We do not provide superbills for natural medicine services. These are facilitation services under Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act, not billable medical care, so there is no superbill to submit to insurance.

Deposit & cancellation: A $500 deposit per participant reserves your session day and is applied toward your total fee; the balance is due before your session day. Reschedules or cancellations made 7 or more days out keep the deposit's full value as a credit. See our deposit & cancellation policy for full details.

Safety & Screening

Your safety is the priority at every step of the process.

Licensed & Regulated

All services are provided by a state-licensed facilitator in an approved healing center, in full compliance with Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act.

Thorough Screening

A comprehensive screening ensures safety before any session. Psilocybin is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or certain other psychiatric conditions.

Medication Interactions

Lithium and MAOIs rule out a session. Other medications, including antidepressants, can blunt or change the experience and are reviewed during screening for timing. Never adjust medications without your prescriber's guidance.

Not Recreational

This is therapeutic support in a clinical context — no retail sales, no take-home products. The structured setting with professional facilitation is what distinguishes this from unsupervised use.

Difficult Moments Are Normal

Challenging passages during the experience are common and not necessarily harmful. Your facilitator is trained to provide grounding support. Your preparation session equips you with tools to navigate with confidence.

Plan for Aftercare

You must arrange for someone you trust to drive you home after the administration session. Plan to rest for the remainder of that day. No driving until the following day.

Important: Natural medicine services are not appropriate for everyone. Thorough screening ensures safety, and no outcome can be guaranteed. Research is promising, but psilocybin-assisted therapy is still an emerging field. Speak with your therapist to determine whether this is a good fit for you.

“High-dose psilocybin produced large decreases in clinician- and self-rated measures of depressed mood and anxiety, along with increases in quality of life, life meaning, and optimism.”

— Griffiths et al., Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2016

Part of a Broader Treatment Approach

Psilocybin-assisted therapy works best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. At FRTC, natural medicine services are designed to complement our evidence-based programs — not replace them. And the work afterward — psychedelic integration therapy — is where the experience becomes lasting change. We welcome clients from across Colorado, not just the Denver metro.

DBT + Psilocybin

DBT skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation provide a strong foundation before, during, and after psilocybin sessions. Many clients use DBT integration techniques to sustain insights from their experience.

Trauma Treatment

Research suggests psilocybin may help loosen rigid thought patterns associated with PTSD and complex trauma. Combined with structured trauma therapy, it can support deeper processing and emotional release.

Depression Treatment

Johns Hopkins and NYU trials have shown significant reductions in treatment-resistant depression after psilocybin-assisted therapy. Integration with ongoing CBT or DBT helps sustain these gains long-term.

Anxiety & End-of-Life

Clinical trials at NYU and Johns Hopkins demonstrated lasting reductions in anxiety and existential distress. CBT strategies complement psilocybin by reinforcing new perspectives on uncertainty and control.

How to Get Started

Starting psilocybin-assisted therapy in Colorado is a structured process. Here's what to expect when you reach out to our Denver practice.

1

Schedule a Free Consultation

Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation to ask questions and learn whether natural medicine services are a good fit for you. Already a current FRTC client? Talk with your existing therapist first — they can help you weigh the decision against your treatment plan.

2

Screening & Intake

A thorough screening ensures safety — reviewing your medical history, current medications, psychiatric history, and personal goals. This is required before any psilocybin session and is completed with your facilitator.

3

Begin the Process

You'll start with a preparation session to build trust and set intentions, then move to the guided psilocybin experience at a state-licensed healing center in Colorado, followed by integration sessions.

Location & Availability

Front Range Treatment Center is based in Greenwood Village and works with natural medicine clients from across the Denver metro — Lone Tree, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Cherry Creek, Aurora — and the rest of Colorado. Preparation and integration sessions can be held by secure telehealth. The psilocybin administration session takes place at a state-licensed healing center, as Colorado law requires.

Colorado has no residency requirement, and a meaningful share of our natural medicine clients travel here from other states. If that is you, our guide for out-of-state clients covers how the telehealth-plus-one-trip model works, how long to plan to be here, and what to arrange before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about psilocybin-assisted therapy at FRTC.

About Psilocybin & Legality
What is psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain species of mushrooms. When ingested, it converts to psilocin in the body and interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, producing altered states of consciousness, emotional openness, and often profound personal insights. It is generally considered non-addictive.
Is psilocybin-assisted therapy legal in Colorado?
Yes. Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act (Proposition 122), passed in 2022, legalized regulated psilocybin services for adults 21 and older. Licensed facilitators may offer services in state-approved healing centers. Psilocybin is not available for retail sale — services must occur in regulated settings with licensed facilitation. For how the program has actually played out since it opened, see psilocybin therapy in Colorado: what to expect.
Where can I find psychedelic therapy near me in Denver?
If you're searching for psychedelic therapy near you in the Denver area, Front Range Treatment Center is a licensed natural-medicine provider working from Greenwood Village in the south metro — serving Denver, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, and Castle Rock. Preparation and integration sessions can be held by secure telehealth wherever you live, in Colorado or out of state; the administration session itself takes place in a state-licensed healing center, as the Natural Medicine Health Act requires. What distinguishes psychedelic-assisted therapy near you here is that it sits inside an existing clinical practice rather than standing alone — the same team provides your DBT or CBT care before and after.
Is this the same as recreational mushroom use?
No. Regulated natural medicine services are therapeutic — conducted in a structured setting with a licensed facilitator, preceded by clinical preparation, and followed by integration sessions. The presence of professional support, intention-setting, and follow-up care is what makes this meaningfully different from unsupervised recreational use.
Who It's For
Who might benefit from psilocybin-assisted therapy?
Research suggests psilocybin-assisted therapy may benefit adults experiencing depression (including treatment-resistant cases), anxiety, PTSD, end-of-life distress, or substance use challenges. It may also support personal growth, grief processing, and emotional exploration for those without a formal clinical diagnosis. Eligibility is determined through the screening and intake process.
Who should NOT pursue these services?
Psilocybin services are not appropriate for everyone. They are generally not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or certain other psychiatric conditions. A thorough screening is conducted before any session to ensure safety. Certain medications may also need to be reviewed or discussed with your prescriber.
Do I need a clinical diagnosis to participate?
No. Some clients pursue natural medicine services for personal growth, grief processing, or existential exploration — not only for clinical symptom relief. Whether services are appropriate for you is determined through the screening and intake process with your facilitator.
The Psilocybin Journey
What happens during the administration session?
You ingest psilocybin in a comfortable, private, state-licensed healing center — such as Neuro Alchemy — as required by Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act. Your facilitator provides non-directive support throughout the experience. Eye shades and music are commonly used to support an inward journey. You are never left alone. The experience typically lasts 4–6 hours, after which you rest before being cleared to leave with a trusted person. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see what happens in a session.
How many sessions does the full process involve?
The standard package includes one preparation session, one administration session, and one integration session. Depending on your goals, history, and experience, you and your facilitator may add preparation or integration sessions — available at $175 each.
Will my therapist be in the room during the session?
Not necessarily. Under Colorado's current regulatory model, facilitation during the administration session is provided by a licensed natural medicine facilitator — which may or may not be your existing therapist, depending on their licensure. Your therapist can still play an important role in preparation beforehand and integration afterward, even if they are not the facilitator.
Can I drive myself home afterward?
No. You must arrange for a trusted person to transport you home following the administration session. Plan to rest for the remainder of that day and avoid driving until the following day.
Integration & Ongoing Therapy
How does this connect with my existing therapy at FRTC?
Psilocybin services are designed to work alongside your current therapy — not replace it. Insights from the experience often surface material that deepens therapeutic work: emotional breakthroughs, new perspectives, or heightened motivation for change. Your FRTC therapist can help you prepare beforehand and integrate afterward, creating a seamless continuum of care.
What is "integration" and why does it matter?
Integration is the process of making meaning from your experience and translating insights into lasting behavioral and emotional change. Without integration, the benefits of a psilocybin session often fade. It typically involves reflection, journaling, and follow-up sessions with your therapist or facilitator. Additional integration beyond the included session is strongly recommended.
Practical Details
Can psilocybin interact with my medications?
Some can. Lithium and MAOIs rule out a session. Other medications, including SSRIs and SNRIs, can blunt the effects or call for timing coordinated with your prescriber, and all current medications are reviewed during screening. Tapering an antidepressant is never a requirement to qualify. Never adjust or discontinue any medication without first consulting your prescribing provider.
How much does it cost?
The complete natural medicine service package is $3,000, which includes 1 preparation session, the administration session (up to 7 hours), 1 integration session, and all psilocybin product and facility costs. Additional preparation or integration sessions are $175 each. Couples can journey together in one shared session for $5,000, and small groups of three or more are $2,000 per person. No insurance plan covers natural medicine services — Medicaid included — so they are paid out of pocket, and we do not provide superbills for them.
How do I get started?
Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation — book on our calendar or send us a message. We'll answer your questions and help you decide whether natural medicine services are a good fit. If you're already an FRTC client, your existing therapist is also a great place to start the conversation.
How does the deposit and cancellation policy work?
A $500 deposit per participant reserves your session day and is applied toward your total fee — it is not an additional charge. The remaining balance is due before your session day. Reschedule or cancel 7 or more days before your session day and your deposit keeps its full value: it carries to a new day, or becomes a credit valid for 12 months. Within 7 days, or a no-show, the deposit is forfeited and a new deposit is required to rebook. Individual preparation and integration sessions follow our standard 24-hour notice. Changes are handled by phone or email rather than the online calendar. See our full deposit & cancellation policy for details.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. All natural medicine services are subject to standard confidentiality protections. Your facilitator will review the limits of confidentiality with you during preparation, as they would in any professional therapeutic relationship.
