Psilocybin Services: Experience Matters
Steve is a certified and licensed psilocybin provider.
Steve possesses over four decades of deep knowledge and insight into the world of psychedelics. His expertise is not only based on academic or observational studies, but also on personal experiences, including participation in an FDA-regulated psilocybin study. In this study, Steve underwent a regimen of three progressively increasing doses over a span of three months, culminating in one of the highest doses ever documented in an FDA-sanctioned research.
In addition to his own journeys with substances such as psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ibogaine, ayahuasca, peyote, and DMT, Steve has had the privilege to train and collaborate with some of the foremost experts in the field of psychedelic therapies.
For the past four years, Steve has been actively facilitating therapeutic sessions at OmTerra, primarily utilizing cannabis and ketamine. His therapeutic approach, especially with clients suffering from C-PTSD, depression, and anxiety, is deeply empathetic, informed by his personal challenges with C-PTSD, brushes with suicide, periods spent in psychiatric care, experiences in drug treatment centers, and the shortcomings he found in conventional western psychiatric methodologies.
What is Psilocybin
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. It is found in over 200 species of fungi (mushrooms). For centuries Indigenous and Tribal communities around the world have used psilocybin for spiritual, ceremonial and other purposes. Psilocybin services are a legal option in Oregon. However, psilocybin is still a Schedule I substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act.
Psilocybin Services
In Oregon, “psilocybin services” refers to preparation, administration and integration sessions provided by a licensed facilitator. The psilocybin products consumed must be cultivated or produced by a licensed psilocybin manufacturer and may only be provided to a client at a licensed psilocybin service center during an administration session. Psilocybin services are available to people age 21 or older and will not require a prescription or medical referral.
Benefits of Psilocybin
Research suggests psilocybin may help address depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. Studies have also found it can increase spiritual well-being. To learn more about the research on psilocybin benefits and risks, see the 2021 Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board Rapid Evidence Review.

The Process
Preparation
A crucial and vital component is preparing for the session. The adage "energy in equals energy out" reflects the amount of attention one invests in session preparation. Familiarizing yourself with your facilitator is another key element of preparation. The deeper the trust established before your journey, the more positive your experience will likely be. You will undergo three hours of preparation, divided into two 90-minute sessions, before your psilocybin journey. These sessions can be conducted in-person or via Zoom.
The Session
Your session will take place at Omnia Group in Ashland, OR. They offer private, comfortable rooms where we'll establish a secure setting for your session. The service center will provide the psilocybin. As a facilitator, I cannot handle, sell, or administer the psilocybin. The protocol we will follow adheres to the classic format employed by all research institutions and represents the current Gold Standard in psilocybin therapy. We will use headphones, music, and eye shades to facilitate a transformative inner experience.
Integration
Another crucial facet of this work is integration – assimilating the insights from your journey. Your experience might range from sheer bliss and profound realizations to facing challenges. Regardless of the spectrum, there's a need to discuss and incorporate what transpired into your life. The process of sharing and having your reflections mirrored back aids in fully grounding your experience. Included in the facilitation services is two 90-minute integration session. Additional integration sessions are available if needed.
