Psychedelic Therapy in Baltimore
Struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or unresolved trauma? Traditional therapy may not always provide the breakthrough you need. At Sacred Crow Counseling & Consulting, I offer psychedelic-assisted therapy in Baltimore, using proven integration techniques to support deep emotional healing and transformation.
My approach combines psychedelic integration therapy, trauma-informed care, and holistic mental health support. Through structured preparation and integration sessions, your psychedelic process and experiences will be safely and meaningfully used to guide you toward lasting personal growth.
What is Psychedelic Therapy?
Psychedelic therapy is a guided therapeutic process that uses psychedelic substances like psilocybin and MDMA to unlock deep-seated emotions, process trauma, and foster mental clarity. While psychedelic substances are still undergoing clinical research and regulatory approval. Integration therapy provides a safe space to process past experiences and prepare for future psychedelic sessions in a mindful, intentional way. But why do people turn to psychedelic therapy?
Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Psychedelic Integration Therapy provides support for individuals seeking to prepare for or process insights from psychedelic experiences, helping them make sense of profound emotional and psychological shifts.
Trauma-Informed Support
With a trauma-informed approach, this therapy offers a structured and supportive environment for those dealing with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, ensuring that their experiences contribute to healing rather than distress.
Mind-Body Connection
By focusing on the mind-body connection, this therapy leverages non-ordinary states of consciousness to promote self-awareness, emotional regulation, and long-term personal growth.
Benefits of Psychedelic Therapy
Scientific research and personal testimonials show that psychedelic therapy can be life-changing. Some of the benefits include:
Emotional Processing
Psychedelic therapy helps you access and resolve deep-seated trauma that traditional methods may not reach.
Neuroplasticity Boost
Studies show that psychedelics promote new neural connections, helping reshape negative thought patterns.
Spiritual Insights
Many people report profound moments of self-discovery, gaining clarity and emotional breakthroughs.
Reduced Anxiety & Depression
Research suggests psychedelics can reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression when paired with therapy.

PTSD & Trauma

Addiction Recovery
Existential & Spiritual Exploration
Psychedelic therapy is emerging as a transformative tool for healing and self-discovery, offering profound benefits for those struggling with trauma, mental health challenges, and existential uncertainty.
For individuals with PTSD and past trauma, psychedelics create a unique opportunity to revisit painful experiences with greater emotional resilience, allowing for deeper processing and healing without being overwhelmed by distress. In cases of depression and anxiety, these experiences can disrupt negative thought loops, helping to regulate emotions and form new neural pathways that foster healthier perspectives.
Beyond mental health, psychedelic therapy has also shown promise in addiction recovery, providing individuals with insight into the root causes of their dependencies and supporting lasting behavioral change. Many seek these experiences for existential and spiritual exploration, using them as a gateway to deeper self-awareness, clarity, and a renewed sense of meaning in their lives. Whether for healing, growth, or self-discovery, psychedelic-assisted therapy has the potential to reshape how we approach mental well-being.

What Happens in a Psychedelic Integration Session?
During a session, you’ll work with a trained therapist to explore thoughts, emotions, and insights from your psychedelic experience. I use trauma-informed techniques to help you process, understand, and integrate these experiences into your daily life.

sacred crow sliding scale offering
I want therapy—trauma-informed care, brainspotting, and psychedelic preparation/integration—to remain accessible while also honoring the energy, depth, and devotion I bring to this work. To support this balance, Sacred Crow uses a self-selected sliding scale based on the Green Bottle model (with gratitude to Worts and Cunning Apothecary for their teachings, available here.)
how to determine your ratE
Pay-it-Forward Tier: $250 – $200
For individuals with substantial financial security (savings, property, or financial stability). Choosing this tier supports community access for others.
Tier 2: $195 – $145
For individuals whose needs are met but who may feel stress around occasional discretionary expenses.
Tier 3: $150 – $125
For individuals with limited financial resources, living paycheck-to-paycheck, or experiencing financial instability.
My Role: I offer sessions on an hourly sliding scale ranging from $250-$125. This allows me to work with clients across varying financial situations while ensuring that the care I provide remains sustainable and accessible.
Your Role: You choose the rate that best reflects your current financial reality. The goal is for you to pay what you can comfortably afford based on your personal and family circumstances.
Our Role: Together, we will revisit our fee agreement periodically to ensure it still fits your situation as our circumstances evolve. Research shows that openly discussing finances and economic realities within therapeutic settings can deepen trust and improve outcomes (Arcuri, 2015; Thompson & Dvorscek, 2013; Field & Hemmings, 2007; Thompson, Cole, et al., 2012; Thompson, Graham, et al., 2017; Trott & Reeves, 2018).
A Note on Community Responsibility
By choosing the highest rate you can reasonably afford, you help nourish the health of this community, ensuring that care remains accessible to those who need lower-cost options. I trust each of you to choose with integrity and care. If you’re unsure what to do, you’re welcome to use the assessment tool linked here.
