Helping people feel whole.

Psychedelic Harm Reduction

There are many potential harms of taking a psychedelic. First and most importantly, they are (mostly) illegal. Yes, even in Oregon. If you want to learn more about potential legal ways you can experience psychedelics, read this article or watch this video. I do not help people break laws or commit crimes. Getting arrested is not good for your mental health! There are other possible harms to your psychedelic use. I help people identify what those risks are and together we can come up with plans to reduce risks.

As Your Therapist, I Can Help You Feel Whole

My name is Dr. Peter H Addy and I’m a therapist who is uniquely qualified to help you connect with your whole self. I trained in transpersonal psychology, which is all about psychedelic and other non-ordinary states of consciousness, and how these experiences can influence a person for better or worse.

I sought specialty training in psychedelic harm reduction through MAPS and the Zendo Project, and co-founded the Yale Psychedelic Science Group when I was faculty at Yale School of Medicine. Most of my research career has centered around psychedelics and how they influence experience, behavior, and emotions. I can help you make sense of your experiences and accept whatever has come up.

I provide the necessary support to help you lead a grounded, fulfilling life. Even if you’re feeling lost, together we can navigate towards lasting, positive change.

Let me assist you in reclaiming your vitality and falling in love with life again, despite the challenges of chronic pain.
