Let’s actively collaborate in therapy together. Every moment, you have a choice: move towards discomfort or away from it. As a therapist specializing in psychedelic-affirming therapy and harm reduction, I can guide you to embrace discomfort and discover what lies beyond it.
The psychedelic-affirming therapy I offer provides a unique pathway to healing and self-discovery. Unlike traditional therapy methods, my approach acknowledges and integrates the potential benefits of psychedelic experiences, helping you unlock new perspectives and find deeper meaning in your life.
Let me assist you in reclaiming your vitality and falling in love with life again, despite the challenges of chronic pain.
Learn how to prepare for your upcoming legal, guided psychedelic experience with my collection of affordable preparation courses. Empower yourself with knowledge and practical skills, learn at your own pace, and reduce potential harms. These courses are not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
I help curious and compassionate healthcare professionals become psychedelic-affirming therapists and clinicians so they can support clients who are working with psychedelics. Psychedelic Affirming Education has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7579. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Psychedelic Affirming Education is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.
I’m Dr. Peter H Addy, a licensed psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. My extensive background in medical research informs my practice, ensuring that the psychedelic-affirming therapy I offer is grounded in science while embracing the transformative potential of psychedelic experiences. To make my services accessible, I offer both in-person sessions at my Portland office and online therapy options, allowing you to choose the setting that feels most comfortable for your healing journey.
Personalized Therapy: Whether you prefer the safety and comfort of in-person sessions at my Portland, OR, office or the convenience of online therapy from the comfort of your favorite chair or couch, I’m here to support you on your journey to better mental health.
Educational Courses: Drawing from my clinical experience and research, I’ve developed a series of self-paced psychedelic preparation courses. These courses are not a substitute for therapy or medical care, but they do offer a great way to help you prepare for an upcoming legal, facilitated psychedelic experience.
My approach is extensive, combining traditional psychotherapy techniques with cutting-edge research in psychedelic-informed care. This provides a broad toolkit for personal growth and healing, ensuring no aspect of your mental health is overlooked.
