Presentations and Interviews:
“Nothing’s working, I’ve tried time and time again but nobody really understands what I’m going through”
Sound familiar? This was my experience with traditional therapies and medication (CBT, talk therapy, EMDR, SSRIs, etc.). It took me over 40 years of exploration to finally find resolution and get my life back.
Now my life’s purpose is to guide as many other people through this journey as I can.
I started OmTerra to help people for whom nothing else has worked. We'll get to the core of your problems and find resolution.
Disconnected, depressed, suicidal; I’ll meet you wherever you are with compassion and understanding – I’ve been there.
I’ll spend as long as it takes to gain deep understanding, before planning your route back to yourself.
Having experienced poorly facilitated psilocybin therapy first-hand, I refuse to put anyone through that. I truly care about my clients’ wellbeing.
Each client’s therapy protocol is carefully planned around what you’re going through, your experience with psychedelics, and your individual concerns & goals.
A non-therapeutic, top-down approach using psilocybin and focuses on the mind.
To gain insight, reframe, and shift perspective.
A therapeutic, bottom-up approach using ketamine and focused on the body, where trauma is held.
To get to the core of and resolve symptoms.
There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy, especially not with psychedelics.
Reach out to start planning your individually-tailored therapy program. We’ll spend as long as it takes before your first session to figure out what will work best for you.
Meet Steve Elfrink
Founder of OmTerra, Co-Founder of PSI, and your psychedelic therapist.
In my extensive experience with psychedelic medicines, I have engaged in comprehensive, firsthand exploration to discern what methodologies are effective, as well as those that are not.
A critical insight I've garnered is the fundamental truth that there is no uniform solution; the adage "one size does not fit all" is profoundly relevant in this context.

Research suggests psilocybin therapy may help with various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. It can also foster personal growth and spiritual insights. IS psilocybin right for you ~ best way to find out is to schedule a no cost 15 - 30 minute free consultation.
Psilocybin therapy involves guided sessions where psilocybin, a natural psychedelic compound, is used to facilitate deep emotional healing, insight, and transformation. It is conducted in a safe and controlled environment with trained facilitators.
PSIP therapy, or Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that uses somatic awareness and emotional processing to access trauma and unresolved psychological patterns. When combined with ketamine, a legal dissociative anesthetic with psychedelic properties, it helps patients break through mental barriers and heal from deep-rooted emotional issues. OmTerra does not supply the ketamine. It is recommended to source your ketamine through www.joyous.team.
Psilocybin interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, helping to alter perception, mood, and cognition. When used in a therapeutic setting, it can lead to profound insights, emotional release, and new perspectives on personal challenges.
Ketamine is facilitated through self-administration under the supervision of a trained professional in a controlled setting. The therapy focuses on using the dissociative and relaxing effects of ketamine to help clients explore their inner landscape and process trauma or emotional blockages.
Psilocybin therapy is currently legal in Oregon where OmTerra is located. Steve Elfrink is a licensed psilocybin facilitator in the state of Oregon. The actual session is done at a licensed psilocybin service center.
Yes, ketamine is FDA-approved for certain medical uses, including treatment-resistant depression. When used in a therapeutic setting for mental health issues, it is legally self-administered under the care of a trained professional.
Psilocybin therapy has been shown to help with a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and existential distress, often related to terminal illness. It is alos valuable for someone who is looking for a life reset.
Ketamine-assisted PSIP therapy can help treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and trauma-related disorders. It can also be effective in breaking through emotional barriers when traditional therapy methods have not worked. It is extremely effective at getting you to a place of resolution from your symptoms.
Psilocybin therapy primarily uses psilocybin to induce a psychedelic state, while ketamine-assisted PSIP therapy involves the dissociative effects of ketamine alongside somatic processing to explore trauma. Both aim to facilitate healing, but the mechanisms and experiences can differ.
A thorough consultation with Steve Elfrink can help determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs. Factors such as medical history, emotional state, and therapeutic goals will be discussed.
Both therapies are conducted in a safe, supportive environment with a trained therapist or guide. Sessions usually involve a preparation phase, the medicine session itself, and integration sessions to help process the experience. Each session is customized to meet your individual needs.
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the specific therapeutic goals. Some clients find significant relief after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing treatment.
Both psilocybin and ketamine can have side effects, including nausea, dizziness, and temporary confusion. It is important that these therapies are conducted in a safe, professional setting to minimize risks and ensure the best therapeutic outcomes.
To begin, you will need to schedule a consultation with one of our trained professionals. During the free consultation, we will assess your needs, discuss your medical history, and determine the best treatment plan for you.
