Therapist-Client Program
Including your therapist in your psilocybin retreat experience
A Bridge Into Your Work Back Home
Perhaps you have been engaged in therapy for months or even years. If you decide to attend a MycoMeditations retreat, including your therapist in the pre-retreat preparation and post-retreat integration goes a long way in optimizing your outcomes.
MycoMeditations’ Therapist-Client program allows guests that are seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist to have their mental health professional involved in their psilocybin retreat experience.
If you have a close, trusted relationship with one of these professionals and are considering joining MycoMeditations, then we can help you make the most of your experience. This integration between our retreat and your mental health support system ensures a seamless transition between your ongoing therapy at home and your psilocybin retreat in Jamaica.
Built to bridge retreat and real life, this structure provides meaningful psychedelic integration support by connecting your retreat experience with the therapeutic work you’re already doing.
Taking Your Care a Step Further
In addition to MycoMeditations’ world-class team of licensed therapists and experienced facilitators, we aim to continue supporting our guests in ways that no other psychedelic retreat provides.
With the Therapist-Client program, your therapist becomes directly involved in your psilocybin therapy process, before and after your retreat. This program will help you arrive on retreat even better prepared, allow our team to gain a richer and deeper understanding of you, and for the therapeutic insights and breakthroughs you experience to be more meaningfully integrated once you return home. With your providers aligned, you get continuing care after a psychedelic retreat that helps insights translate into meaningful momentum.
Why Include Your Therapist?
Psychedelic therapy catalyzes deeply personal material and can reveal aspects of your psyche not typically available to you and your therapist through traditional talk therapy. Your therapist is best placed to assist you in integrating your experiences, given their awareness of your history and how you make sense of yourself and the world.
By involving them in your retreat journey, they can help you prepare and assist us by providing all the necessary information about you, enabling us to deliver the best care possible. Following your retreat, we will provide your therapist with an overview of your experience, which will help them guide your continued integration process as smoothly as possible, allowing you to take even greater advantage of the benefits you receive on retreat.
How It Works
Our therapist integration program is designed to make collaboration simple, secure, and supportive before, during, and after your retreat. All client information is securely encrypted and treated with the highest standard of confidentiality.
You apply to MycoMeditations.
You and your therapist can discuss whether you would like to join this program and make a decision about applying.
Your application is reviewed.
Assuming you are approved, you can select a retreat date to attend and register.

This allows our team to communicate directly with your therapist.
Your therapist receives guidance.
We provide professional preparation materials to you and your therapist to help them best support you as you prepare for the retreat, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Before your retreat:
Your therapist will complete a secure online form to share relevant information with our team in the weeks leading up to your retreat.
You attend the retreat.
You will join us and receive three psilocybin sessions, along with extensive preparation and integration through group and individual therapy, as well as all other inclusions in your retreat package.
After your retreat:
Approximately one week after the retreat, we will send a clinical summary to your therapist, which provides important details from your retreat week to support their continued integration work with you.
All information shared is stored in our encrypted database and handled with complete confidentiality.
Who This Is For?
This program is for individuals working with a mental health professional whom they deeply trust and who are exploring psilocybin to deepen their understanding and healing of themselves. If you are ready to work with psychological material deeply and honestly with psilocybin and seek additional support, then we encourage you to join the program.
This program is not a fit for individuals with conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, or active personality disorders. It’s also not appropriate for those who are currently in crisis or unwilling to engage in deeper, possibly challenging emotional exploration.
Seamlessly Integrating with Your Therapist
Guests frequently tell us that MycoMeditations was precisely what they were looking for: real mental health professionals with no gimmicks who know how to work with psychedelics, and how to work with people.
Our retreat model was designed to align with contemporary, evidence-based approaches to therapy. This accommodating framework ensures that our team will be in sync with you and your therapist through the entire process. This added support also helps guests feel more confident knowing they have safe psilocybin retreat experience planning and follow-up care in place.
Common Questions
What are your credentials?
MycoMeditations is the original therapeutic psychedelic retreat, with our first retreat taking place in 2014. Our experience with psilocybin is unparalleled, as both the long-serving psilocybin retreat and by utilizing the most mental-health-optimized model. We have created the gold-standard in this field for this style of psychedelic retreat, and our retreat teams are staffed almost entirely by licensed mental health professionals trained in psychedelic therapy.
Is this actually effective?
Numerous clinical research studies confirm the efficacy of psilocybin in therapeutic settings. The reduction in symptoms shown in research has been either matched or surpassed by our retreat data, as indicated through our four year survey collection of guest outcomes. MycoMeditations is one of the only retreats that tracks guest outcomes, and we have proven the efficacy of our program through our data collection.
Will this align with my work?
The therapeutic framework of our retreat was developed to be as accommodating and approachable to as many people as possible. Whereas most psychedelic retreats almost confine the experience into a limited perspective of what can occur and narrow range of interpretations, MycoMeditations works with guests to process and integrate their experiences in whatever ways are best suited to them and their current understanding.
