While I now have a deep conviction in the model, I know I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I have if it weren’t for Steve’s effective guidance and mastery of the process. His authenticity, calm demeanor, patience, reassuring manner, and his care and concern for my well-being was something I hadn’t experienced before. I also deeply respect Steve’s journey to get to where he is today.

Steve introduced me to a plant medicine group, integral to their integrity. They offered vital relief for those with internalized trauma. Steve's role in post-sitting support for integrating insights was inspiring. He lives the path of medicine work, understanding the importance of support and integration, making it a Way, not just a passion.

Is Psilocybin Therapy right for me?
"Psilocybin has provided me with many of my greatest insights into the nature of reality and my place in it.”
– Steve Elfrink, OmTerra

Insight gained from psilocybin experiences can be used to achieve deep healing. This is going to be a journey, as opposed to a destination, and it is not the right solution for everyone.

Psilocybin is great for gaining insight and a shift in perspective for those dealing with low levels of trauma, anxiety, depression, and more.

Psilocybin does not tend to interact well with high levels of trauma and PTSD, for that we recommend PSIP Ketamine therapy.

It's essential to integrate the insight you gain with psilocybin, and use it to create real change in your life.

FAQs

What is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms. It has been used for centuries in various cultures for its psychoactive and therapeutic properties.

Is Psilocybin Safe?

Yes, psilocybin is considered safe when used in a controlled, therapeutic setting with proper guidance. According to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, psilocybin has a "favorable safety profile" and "no serious adverse effects" were reported in controlled environments . Another study in Neuropharmacology in 2017 found that "psilocybin is physiologically safe and well-tolerated" when administered by trained professionals . Additionally, a 2020 review in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology highlighted that "psilocybin has a long history of safe use in both indigenous cultures and clinical research" .

Is Psilocybin Legal in Oregon?

Yes, under Measure 109, psilocybin services are legal in Oregon for therapeutic use. This measure, passed in November 2020, allows licensed facilitators to administer psilocybin in a controlled, professional setting. Steve Elfrink is a licensed psilocybin facilitator.

What is Psilocybin Facilitation?

Psilocybin facilitation involves a licensed professional guiding an individual through a psilocybin experience. This includes preparation, the psilocybin session itself, and integration afterward to help process and make sense of the experience.

Who is not eligible for psilocybin services?

Individuals who fall into the following categories are generally not eligible for psilocybin services:

  • Medical Exclusions:
    • Uncontrolled high blood pressure

What Should I Bring to a Session?

3. Integration: Post-session support to help process the experience and integrate insights into daily life.

Oregon psilocybin therapy

What is psilocybin and what has it got to do with healing?

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms, often referred to as "magic mushrooms." Research suggests that psilocybin may have potential benefits for working with mental health issues, and its effects are thought to be linked to several mechanisms, including neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, anti-inflammatory properties, and its impact on the Default Mode Network (DMN).

  1. Neurogenesis
    Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons (nerve cells) are created in the brain. It is essential for learning, memory, and overall brain health. Psilocybin may promote neurogenesis by stimulating the growth of new neurons, particularly in regions of the brain associated with mood regulation and emotional processing. This could potentially help individuals with mental health issues by enhancing their brain's ability to adapt and heal.
  2. Neuroplasticity
    Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between neurons. Psilocybin may enhance neuroplasticity by altering the brain's connectivity patterns. This can lead to changes in thought patterns and behaviors, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions like depression or anxiety, where rigid thinking patterns are often a challenge.
  3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
    Chronic inflammation in the brain has been linked to various mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety. Some studies suggest that psilocybin has anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce inflammation in the brain. By decreasing inflammation, psilocybin may help alleviate symptoms associated with mental health issues.
  4. Default Mode Network (DMN)
    The DMN is a network of brain regions that becomes active when our minds are at rest and we engage in self-referential or mind-wandering thoughts. Overactivity of the DMN has been associated with conditions like depression and anxiety. Psilocybin appears to temporarily reduce the activity of the DMN. This "quieting" of the DMN may allow individuals to break free from negative thought patterns and gain new perspectives on their problems.

In practical terms, a psilocybin experience is often described as a profound and introspective journey. During such experiences, individuals may have heightened self-awareness, a sense of connectedness with others and the universe, and a shift in their perception of reality. These effects can be therapeutic when guided by a trained professional in a controlled and supportive setting.

It's important to note that while psilocybin shows promise for mental health issues, it is not a standalone treatment.

Psilocybin is not a cure-all, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. It should always be considered as part of a comprehensive well-being treatment plan, which may include ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes.

Experience Matters

Steve is a certified and licensed psilocybin provider with 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 therapy.

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 centres, and the shortcomings he found in conventional western psychiatric methodologies.
