To help you make lasting meaning from what you discover — before, during, and long after your journey.
What is psilocybin?
A naturally occurring compound
with remarkable potential.
Psilocybin is found in certain species of mushrooms and has been used in ceremonial and healing contexts for thousands of years. When ingested, the body converts it into psilocin — a compound that interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, producing profound shifts in perception, thought patterns, and states of consciousness.
What makes psilocybin particularly significant from a scientific standpoint is its apparent ability to increase neuroplasticity — the brain's capacity to form new connections and break free from entrenched patterns. This may help explain why people are often able to access and process material in a psilocybin experience that years of conventional approaches could not reach.
Oregon and Colorado are the first US states to create regulated, legal frameworks for psilocybin services — which means working with a licensed facilitator gives you access to this experience in a fully legal, professionally supported, and safety-screened context.
PTSD & trauma
Clinical research has shown significant reductions in trauma symptoms, including in populations unresponsive to conventional treatments.
Depression & anxiety
Multiple controlled trials show rapid, meaningful relief — often sustained for months — following a single guided session.
Addiction
Early research at Johns Hopkins and NYU shows promising results for tobacco, alcohol, and other substance dependencies.
Existential distress
Psilocybin has shown particular promise in helping people navigate grief, moral injury, and questions of meaning and purpose.
I'm Drew Snyder —
a licensed psilocybin facilitator, licensed professional counselor, Army veteran, and one of the most experienced psilocybin practitioners in the United States.
My path to this work began with my own healing from combat-related PTSD. After years of treatment that managed the surface but couldn't reach what was underneath, psilocybin changed everything. That experience is why I've dedicated the last several years to bringing this work to others with the highest possible standard of care.
