Nashville Psilocybin Center - Coming Soon
Whether you want to take a psilocybin assisted journey with an outside guide or home psilocybin therapy, we’re here to help. Although we can’t provide psilocybin or directly guide people, we can help you get the most out of your psilocybin therapy journey. We offer preparation before your experience to discuss intention, mindset, safety, location, and dosing. We offer integration afterward as well. It can be easy to lose some of the helpful connections, insights, and experiential changes that happen during your psilocybin journey. We can help you make sense of the journey and cement the growth from the experience.
We are looking forward to offering this service within the next couple of years. Legally guided psilocybin therapy, or mushroom therapy, combines the medicinal effects of psilocybin, or “magic mushrooms”, with the benefit of psychological support and therapy. The preliminary scientific studies show benefits for depression, anxiety, addiction, and consciousness expansion. Psilocybin has also been shown to frequently give clients a magical or spiritual experience. This experience is rated as a top 5 most profound experiences in a client’s life.
We understand that seeking help for mental health issues can be daunting, which is why we prioritize creating a safe and compassionate space for our patients. Our team is dedicated to understanding your unique needs and goals for treatment, and we work collaboratively with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

Psilocybin Assisted Psychotherapy FAQs

The Nashville Psychedelic Center plans to offer psilocybin therapy as part of a psilocybin assisted psychotherapy course. If the current research and governmental shifts continue their current paths, this service should be available in the next couple of years. Although we can’t currently offer psilocybin, we are looking forward to helping others heal with this medicine in the very near future.

Use of psilocybin expanded in the United States in the 60s and 70s, especially as part of the ‘hippie’ culture. Increased research in psilocybin occurred during this time period until ultimately the government labeled psilocybin a Schedule I drug and halted research and use. Thankfully in the past few years, research has resumed with a variety of studies. These studies are paving the way for legalization. We will offer Psilocybin Therapy as soon as we are able.

The psychedelic effects of some plants and fungi have been known and deliberately used by humans for thousands of years. Psilocybin has historically been used as a psychedelic and entheogenic agent for religious and spiritual ceremonies, as well as a therapeutic option. There is evidence of a long tradition of psilocybin use in indigenous populations in the Americas. Use was suppressed during colonization and follow up legal restrictions. However, the people who knew the healing and transformational effects of psilocybin and other psychedelics continued their use.
