Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, Counseling, and Psychotherapy for Depression & PTSD

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), over 16 million people experienced major depressive disorder (MDD) in 2016, and more than 1.3 million attempted suicide that year. While selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) transformed depression care in the 1980s, many patients remain treatment-resistant.

Psychedelic Therapy & Counseling

In the 1990s, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) became the gold standard for MDD. Yet millions still don’t respond to SSRIs or MBCT alone—particularly those whose depression is linked to psychological trauma (PTSD). At AMI, we offer psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a powerful, evidence-based alternative.

Our Clarity Counseling sessions run 3–5 hours, often requiring one to three visits. Each session pairs you with a licensed therapist and a medical professional who administers micro-doses of a mild anesthetic. As the medication takes effect, your therapist guides you through targeted cognitive and mindfulness exercises.

How It Works

Your journey begins with an initial evaluation to review medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. If psychedelic therapy is indicated, we conduct a detailed intake to finalize diagnostics and objectives. We then schedule your treatment blocks in collaboration with a trusted local psychedelic therapy center in Denver Metro.

For many with treatment-resistant depression or PTSD, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can accomplish in a few hours what months of traditional talk therapy and medication cocktails cannot.
