Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Colorado

Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Colorado

Legal. Licensed. Life-Changing.

Colorado is one of only a handful of states in the country where psilocybin-assisted therapy is legal — and Melissa Perry, MA, LPC, LCPC, NMIT is one of the state’s first licensed Natural Medicine Facilitators authorized to provide it.

This is not recreational use. This is clinically informed, legally regulated healing for adults who are ready to go somewhere traditional treatments haven’t taken them.

Who Is This For?

Psilocybin-assisted therapy may be right for you if you are living with:

Treatment-resistant depression — you’ve tried medications and still feel stuck

PTSD and complex trauma — including first responder trauma, moral injury, and sexual assault

Generalized or existential anxiety

Compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma

Substance use disorders as part of a comprehensive treatment plan

A deep sense that something needs to change and nothing so far has reached it

Research from Johns Hopkins, NYU, and UCLA — along with the FDA’s Breakthrough Therapy designation for psilocybin — shows that natural medicine services can produce profound, lasting results where traditional treatments have not.

Natural medicine services are available to Colorado residents and to adults 21 and older who are traveling to Colorado specifically to access this care.

Preparation

Before anything else, you and Melissa meet. You’ll review your mental health history, current medications, intentions, and any contraindications. This is where trust is built — and trust is what makes the experience safe and meaningful. Preparation is not a formality. It is the foundation.

Administration

Your administration session takes place in a licensed, regulated setting under Melissa’s clinical supervision. The experience is structured, safe, and held with care. Melissa remains present throughout — not as a bystander, but as a trained guide who understands both the clinical and human dimensions of what you’re moving through.

Integration

What happens after the experience matters just as much as the experience itself. Integration therapy helps you translate what arose — the insights, the emotions, the imagery, the grief, the relief — into lasting behavioral and emotional change. This is where the extraordinary becomes part of your everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is psilocybin therapy legal in Colorado?

Yes. Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act (Proposition 122) legalized supervised psilocybin services for adults 21 and older. Melissa Perry is one of the state’s first licensed facilitators authorized to provide these services legally and safely.

Do I have to live in Colorado to access natural medicine services?

No. Adults 21 and older may travel to Colorado specifically to access natural medicine services. Melissa works with clients from across the country who come to Colorado for this care.

How is this different from recreational use?

Psilocybin-assisted therapy is structured, clinically supervised, and conducted in a licensed setting with a trained facilitator. It includes preparation and integration sessions designed to maximize safety and therapeutic benefit. It is fundamentally different from recreational use in both intent and structure.

What if I’ve had a difficult psychedelic experience in the past?

Difficult past experiences are worth discussing during your free consultation. In many cases they are not a barrier to care — and in some cases, integration therapy for a past experience is actually where the healing begins.
